Name Description

Specifies the assignment of flights to sorting stations. if baggage sorting station is allocated to flight for and otherwise. If each flight only requires one activity, which means that each flight only requires one BSS, then this variable can be expressed as .

Specifies the necessary reduction in service time for activity of flight , given the service starting time allocated, .

The service starting time allocated to activity of flight and given that a sorting station can only service one flight at a time. can be determined from since .
