MA503E - Operations Research for applied to Air Transportation

Objectives

General objective:

This course aims to continue students apprenticeship on the use of quantitative methods from Operations Research for effective solving optimization problems in the Air Transportation domain (although not limited). This course encompasses the full OR lifecycle: from identification of a problem, its modelisation, solution approach choice/design, testing and result interpretation; to treat real-world operational problems.

Detailed objectives:

This course aims to continue students apprenticeship on the use of quantitative methods from Operations Research for effective solving optimization problems in the Air Transportation domain (although not limited). This course encompasses the full OR lifecycle: from identification of a problem, its modelisation, solution approach choice/design, testing and result interpretation; to treat real-world operational problems.

At the end of the course, students will be capable to:

Identify an optimization problem in a real-world context
Formulate real operational problems using mathematical modelling formalism
Choose and apply an appropriate algorithm to solve optimization problems
Use an algebraic modeling language to formulate/solve optimization problems using computers
Understand and interpret results of optimization software
