Transportation Path Assignment Within the Airports in Turkey

To speed up the development of civil aviation, many academic researchers are being carried out. One of the most encountered and important issues is the necessity for handling the visiting order of the inspections or audits of all airports. In this study, the evaluation of the most suitable transportation path takes place, and the assignment issue is resolved with the help of a traveling salesman problem. However, finding the best solution to this problem is considerably difficult. Stochastic-Based Optimization (SBO) techniques are efficient tools to overcome this difficulty. In the study, the optimization program will be developed to find the best transportation path Assignment within the airports in Turkey. The Tree Seed Algorithm (TSA) and Symbiotic Organisms Search (SOS) optimization techniques are utilized to find the best path. In addition, performances of the TSA and SOS techniques will be investigated for the current optimization problem.
