Joint route guidance and demand management using generalized MFDs

a new approach for joint demand management and production planning

demand management is one of the main subjects in marketing which affects the operations performance of an organization considerably. in the classic production planning approach, demand is considered as an exogenous factor in planning, while in the new approach, it is a factor that can be controlled. in this paper, we focus on a new approach in supply chain planning and present an integrated pro...

This paper studies the demand and capacity management problem in a restaurant system. A queueingbased optimization model with underlying quasi birth-and-death process and state-dependent functions is developed to ad...

Soundmarks in Spoken Route Guidance

Route guidance is an emerging mobile computing application domain. Soundscapes or acoustic environments are a perceptually important part of people's location awareness and navigation. In this paper, we present how non-speech audio can be used to complement speech-based and graphical route information in mobile public transport guidance. We present TravelMan, a mobile multimodal pedestrian and ...

Providing Reliable Route Guidance: A Case Study Using Chicago Data

Reliable route guidance can be generated from solving the reliable a priori shortest path problem, which finds paths that maximize the probability of arriving on time. This paper aims to demonstrate the usefulness and feasibility of such route guidance using a case study. A hybrid discretization approach is first developed to improve the efficiency in computing convolution integral, which is an...
