The research aims to develop a cloud-based service framework for reducing carbon dioxide emission and fuel consumption in intelligent transportation system. It collects traffic condition, driving behavior, and video through telematics and digital tachygraphy and road-side cameras to facilitate...

The vehicle routing problem (VRP) is one of the most important problem with many real world application in transportation and logistics area. Presently carbon dioxide emission is one of the major concerns for the researchers. Green vehicle routing problem (GVRP) is the extension of the vehicle...

This work considers a monopolist firm which faces the following twin challenges of serving an environmentally sensitive market. The first challenge is the demand׳s elasticity to emissions and price. To entice its emission conscious customers and generate higher demand, the firm incrementally...

This paper considers the learning/aging effect in an n job single machine scheduling problem with common due date. The objective is to determine the optimal common due date and the optimal sequence of jobs that minimizes a cost function in the presence of learning/aging effect. The cost function...

This paper studies a job shop scheduling problem with two new objective functions based on the setup and synergy costs besides the traditional total weighted tardiness criterion. The background is found in the real-world situation of a commercial vehicle producer, where the reduction of...

The goal of block mining is to obtain a set of genes that contain dependency among gene relationships. Such blocks without overlapping of genes can be further merged to form a new chromosome and the quality of the new chromosome can be greatly improved. Based on this concept, we propose a novel...

This research develops a simulation model using a system dynamics approach to study the bullwhip effect caused in a military weapons maintenance supply system. Previous research shows that military supply chain maintenance problems are mainly caused by aging machines, equipment reliability,...
