Digital Twin Based Resource Optimization and Dynamic Decision Making in Air Terminal Yards

With the growth of globalized trade, the efficient operation of airports is crucial. In this paper, we study the use of digital twin technology to optimize the yard resources of airports, which can improve their operational efficiency and decision-making quality. The study first constructs a digital twin framework for intelligent yard scheduling, which contains physical and virtual space and the connection between them. Data is collected through the physical perception module, while the virtual space is used for real-time simulation and optimized decision-making. The research methodology includes mixed integer programming and adaptive immune cloning algorithms for optimizing yard resource allocation and box space allocation. The experimental results show that the method can effectively reduce the total transportation distance in the air terminal yard operation and improve operation efficiency. The experiments demonstrate an average improvement in operational efficiency of around 20% and a cost reduction of around 15%. It is concluded that digital twin technology has apparent advantages in allocating resources in air terminal yards, which can achieve efficient utilization of resources and dynamic optimization of decision-making.
