The Developing Hybrid Multi Criteria Decision Making Approach in Air Transport for Calculating Aircraft Weight and Balance in Loading Baggage
Keywords:
Hybrid Multi Criteria Decision Making, Air Transport, Calculating Aircraft Weight and BalanceAbstract
This research aims to develop hybrid multi-criteria decision making in air transport and to calculate weight and balance when loading baggage by applying the concept of hybrid multi-criteria decision making to create new alternative automation system capabilities that increase the capability of the weight and balance calculation system for loading baggage with the newly developed program. Result: this method can develop a calculation system with 9 main functions and 115 subfunctions. This method can also be used to develop a system to automatically calculate and link data in baggage management to replace the traditional method, which uses experience from load control. After coding in Visual Basic, we can model hybrid multi-criteria decision making with 647 patterns and 19 sequences, 247 patterns appropriate to the center of gravity of the aircraft, and 3 priorities: (1) safety of the aircraft structure (2) satisfy the needs of the flight operation; (3) save cost. This method is expected to be used as an alternative and support operational decision-making for narrow-body aircraft.
