Traffic Signal Control with Ant Colony Optimization

Integrated planning for blood platelet production: a robust optimization approach

Perishability of blood products as well as uncertainty in demand amounts complicate the management of blood supply for blood centers. This paper addresses a mixed-integer linear programming model for blood platelets production planning while integrating the processes of blood collection as well as production/testing, inventory control and distribution. Whole blood-derived production methods for...

Context Aware Dynamic Traffic Signal Optimization

Conventional urban traffic control systems have been based on historical traffic data. Later advancements made use of detectors, which enabled the gathering of real-time traffic data, in order to re-organize and calibrate traffic signalization programs. Further evolvement provided the ability to forecast traffic conditions, in order to develop traffic signalization programs and strategies pre-c...

A model predictive control approach for decentralized traffic signal control

In this paper, a decentralized control is utilized for the traffic signal control problem using model predictive control. A point-queue model is used with red-green signal transition times. A traffic signal controller is designed to minimize the queue lengths with information from the adjacent intersections. After the signal controller gathers the needed information from the adjacent intersecti...

Robust Optimization Approach for Design for a Dynamic Cell Formation Considering Labor Utilization: Bi-objective Mathematical Model

In this paper, robust optimization of a bi-objective mathematical model in a dynamic cell formation problem considering labor utilization with uncertain data is carried out. The robust approach is used to reduce the effects of fluctuations of the uncertain parameters with regards to all the possible future scenarios. In this research, cost parameters of the cell formation and demand fluctuation...
