Abstract
Planning the delivery of cargo as part of an airlift operation is a notoriously complex problem. Transportation routes can suddenly become inaccessible due to poor weather or other unexpected occurrences. Factors such as airplane speed, carrying capacity, and airport maximum-on-ground must also be considered to ensure on-time and efficient delivery. Unforeseen cargo needs may require quick re-planning to meet tight deadlines. To address the problem, we held the Airlift Challenge, an online multi-agent planning competition which concluded in early 2023. Competitors in the Airlift Challenge created innovative algorithms to execute a simulated airlift operation. The algorithms were scored against a set of increasingly complex evaluation scenarios while contending with unexpected events and disruptions. In this paper, we describe the competition and simulation environment, summarize results, and include write-ups of the top approaches provided by the winning teams.
