| Summary | In this study, based on the perspective of airport control units, we adopt the mathematical programming method and the network flow technique to develop two shift scheduling models, respectively, linear and non-linear., coupled with real operating constraints. The models are aimed to average working hours of all controllers while satisfying the real operating constraints, taking into account the fatigue of airport traffic controllers (ATCOs) generated on duty. As a supporting tool for solving the non-linear model, the linear model is directly solved by using the mathematical programming solver, CPLEX. To solve the nonlinear model, a solution algorithm is developed, based on the linear model, by using the Fatigue Audit InterDyne (FAID), coupled with the use of the CPLEX and an adaptive parameter setting rule. Finally, Numerical tests are performed using the work shift data associated with an Air Traffic Control unit in Taiwan. The test results are good showing that the models and the solution algorithm could be useful references for practices. |
