The invention discloses a
general aviation demand-oriented
trunk and
branch multi-layer transportation network optimization method, relates to the technical field of
aviation hub
site selection, and aims to solve the problems of accurate prediction of
general aviation short-distance transportation demands and connection of
general aviation and
trunk and
branch aviation networks. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, establishing an airline
passenger transport demand
influence factor index system, and extracting a similar airline
reference sample set; secondly, considering characteristics of different types of airports and airlines, and designing a gravity model based on similarity to carry out airline demand prediction; then, by taking minimization of
transportation cost and hub construction cost, minimization of longest transportation time and maximization of general
aviation short-distance transportation demand coverage rate as targets, constructing a single-allocation allowed direct connection shaft
spoke type network hub
site selection model; and finally, designing an NSGA-III
algorithm to solve the multi-objective optimization model. According to the method,
economic benefits, transportation efficiency and demand coverage can be comprehensively considered, a hub
layout scheme is obtained, and reference is provided for decision makers of governments, airports and airlines.
