Abstract:	航空排程問題對航空公司之營運績效扮演著重要角色，同時為了遵循複雜之航空法規要求，航空排程被視為一重要且複雜之組合最佳化問題。過去大部分研究是將航空排程最佳化問題透過數學規劃求解，例如視為集合覆蓋問題或集合分割問題，然而一旦排程問題規模變大或更複雜時，求解時間將大幅增加，如何在合理的時間範圍內或有限資源限制下求出近似最佳解會是一大挑戰。因此本研究利用次經驗法則最佳化技術中的遺傳演算法來解決航空排程問題。遺傳演算法具有於有限時間內求得可行解或近似最佳解的特性，適合解決複雜之組合最佳化問題。發展遺傳演算法第一步驟是將問題解透過適當的編碼呈現，過去大部分研究採用一維的編碼方式，然而實務上，部分問題如航空排程問題，若採用二維的編碼方式求解會更符合問題的特性。本研究提出以二維編碼為解題策略之遺傳演算法，設計對應於二維編碼方式的交配、突變及修復運算並設計加速演化搜尋之經驗法則。透過三個航空排程問題的求解及參數驗證，本研究提出的演算法可有效解決航空排程之問題。 The airline scheduling problem (ASP), which is strongly related to operating cost and is subject to several regulatory constraints, is a difficult combinatorial optimization problem. It is typically formulated as the set cover problem (SCP) or the set partition problem (SPP), which are then usually solved with mathematical programming. However, the problem-solving process becomes very time-consuming as problem size increases. This research thus applies a very popular meta-heuristic optimization approach, genetic algorithms (GAs), to solve ASP. As GAs can provide feasible solutions within reasonable time, they have become increasingly important for solving difficult combinatorial problems. When using GAs to solve a problem, users must first define an appropriate representation to describe problem states. Most previous studies adopted linear, i.e., one-dimensional, representations. Some real-life problems, such as ASP, are very suited in nature to two-dimensional representations. Therefore, this research develops a GA strategy based on two-dimensional encoding to solve several ASP problems. Appropriate two-dimensional crossover and mutation operations are designed as well to generate populations in subsequent generations. Besides, a two-dimensional repair mechanism is also proposed to adjust infeasible chromosomes into feasible chromosomes. Finally, experiments are performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed GA in solving the three airline scheduling problems.
