This article describes how a vehicular ad-hoc network (VANET) is an infrastructureless network in which vehicles are connected without wires. Routing in VANET is challenging nowadays due to increased number of a vehicle, the high mobility of nodes, dynamically changing topology and highly...

This paper develops a novel mixed integer nonlinear programming model for the intra-cell layout design of dynamic cellular manufacturing systems. In dynamic environment, the product mix and part demand are varying during a multi-period planning horizon. As a result, the cell configuration for...

A highly automated, real-time dispatch system is described which uses embedded optimization routines to replace extensive manual operations and to reduce substantially operating costs for a nation-wide fleet of petroleum tank trucks. The system is currently used in daily operations by the Order...

We study the unidirectional flow of mobile objects through obstacles on a square lattice. Two models are presented: one is the lattice gas model consisting of translational particles and the other is that of turning particles. Fundamental diagrams for the two models are presented. The traffic...

In this paper, the lattice gas model for pedestrian flow is extended to large maximum velocity vmax1. It is shown that at large vmax, the critical density corresponding to the maximum flow rate of fundamental diagram is in good agreement with empirical results. The counter flow is studied and it...

We investigate the ordering kinetics due to the diffusion of adsorbates atoms on metal surfaces at several coverages and interactions corresponding to single phase region and two-phase coexistence regions. The kinetics is described by the mean field master equation in the context of lattice gas...
