An Autonomous Tow Truck Algorithm for Engineless Aircraft Taxiing

Stefano Zaninotto,
Jason Gauci,
Brian Zammit

Abstract: The aviation industry has proposed multiple solutions to reduce fuel consumption, air pollution, and noise at airports, one of which involves deploying electric trucks for aircraft towing between the stand and the runway. However, the introduction of tow trucks results in increased surface traffic, posing challenges from the perspective of air traffic controllers (ATCOs). Various solutions involving automated planning and execution have been proposed, but many are constrained by their inability to manage multi… Show more

“…According to previous research findings [2,3], inaccurate estimation of taxi time can lead to issues of inefficient resource allocation and scheduling. Therefore, numerous scholars have conducted research on reducing aircraft taxiing delays and their resulting inefficiencies and environmental impacts [4][5][6][7]. As a result, achieving accurate prediction of taxiing time has become an important focus in airport surface research.…”
