The hong kong polytechnic university

Research Student

May 2018 – Jul 2018 · 2 mos · Hung Hom, Hong Kong

Formulated a multi-commodity network flow based integer linear programming (ILP) model to
maximise the total Through-Connect revenue for the Operational Aircraft Maintenance Routing
Problem (OAMRP)
Programmed the above ILP model on CPLEX 12.1 and successfully tested it on 10 real flight schedule
datasets provided by the EgyptAir
Developed a Markov Decision Process (MDP) based framework for the OAMRP and solved it using
reinforcement learning
The proposed algorithm was programmed in Python 3.6 and achieved a 78%, 92% and 94% decrease
in the computational time as compared to CPLEX in case of small, medium and large dataset
respectively
Drafted a journal standard research paper for this work to Computers & Industrial Engineering-
Elsevier, which is currently under review
