CBPRS: A City Based Parking and Routing System

Boehlé, J.L.; Rothkrantz, L.J.M.; van Wezel, van … - Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM), … - 2008

Navigational systems assist drivers in finding a route between two locations that is time optimal in theory but seldom in practice due to delaying circumstances the system is unaware of, such as traffic jams. Upon arrival at the destination the service of the system ends and the driver is forced...

Cyclic Railway Timetabling: a Stochastic Optimization Approach

Dekker, Rommert; Kroon, Kroon, L.G.; Vromans, Vromans, … - Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM), … - 2005

Real-time railway operations are subject to stochastic disturbances. However, a railway timetable is a deterministic plan. Thus a timetable should be designed in such a way that it can absorb the stochastic disturbances as well as possible. To that end, a timetable contains buffer times between...

Multi Agent Systems in Logistics: A Literature and State-of-the-art Review

Lang, Lang, N.A.; Moonen, Moonen, J.M.; Srour, Srour, F.J. - Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM), … - 2008

Based on a literature survey, we aim to answer our main question: “How should we plan and execute logistics in supply chains that aim to meet today’s requirements, and how can we support such planning and execution using IT?” Today’s requirements in supply chains include...

Efficient Circulation of Railway Rolling Stock

Alfieri, Alfieri, A.; Groot, Groot, R.; Kroon, Kroon, L.G. - Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM), … - 2002

Railway rolling stock (locomotives, carriages, and train units) is one of the most significant cost sources for operatorsof passenger trains, both public and private. Rolling stock costsare due to material acquisition, power supply, and material maintenance. The efficient circulation of rolling...

The Multi-Location Transshipment Problem with Positive Replenishment Lead Times

Gong, Gong, Y.; Yucesan, E. - Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM), … - 2006

Transshipments, monitored movements of material at the same echelon of a supply chain, represent an effective pooling mechanism. With a single exception, research on transshipments overlooks replenishment lead times. The only approach for two-location inventory systems with non-negligible lead...
