Abstract

Crew Scheduling is an NP-hard constrained combinatorial optimization problem, very important for the airline industry, We solve this problem using a genetic algorithm applied to a flight graph representation that represents several problem-specific constraints, unlike previous attempts. In extensive experimental comparisons on flight data of several airlines, the new approach performed better than other approaches in 17 out of 24 data sets.
