The value of travel time plays an important role in cost benefit analysis of infrastructureprojects. However, the issue of uncertainty on travel times and the implications this has forestimations of travel time values has received much less attention in the literature. In thispaper we compare...

One of the basic assumptions of the classical dynamic lot-sizing model is that theaggregate demand of a given period must be satisfied in that period. Under thisassumption, if backlogging is not allowed then the demand of a given period cannotbe delivered earlier or later than the period. If...
