4.7.5 Analysis for Total Rescheduling
The results in Table 4.37 show the total experimental analysis. The total percentage of successful matches is 44.07, which mean that rescheduling is not really possible in all
conditions. The highest successful matched as shown in Table 4.37 and Figure 4.15 is from large-median duty and medium-maximum duty 83.33. The reason why large-
maximum duty 80 is not as high as we expected is that some of the duties are not equally distributed in an hour. Therefore, the success factors involved in rescheduling
are dependent on the distribution of duty maximum, median, minimum, spreading of the duty equally distributed or not, and also the types of schedules. The highest duty
distribution, equally spreading duty, and in the large schedule offer the best chance of obtaining 100 successful matches. The average time of rescheduling depends on the
type of schedules as shown in Figure 4.16. The larger the schedule, the longer it takes to perform rescheduling because a larger schedule has more duties and more crews
assigned. Thus the negotiation has to communicate with all the crew agents to find a suitable match. The average time taken for successful matches is 1.64 seconds, which is
quick and acceptable in real time.
