On Profitableness of Considering Dynamics in Forwarding Agencies

چکیده
Pickup and Delivery Problems, where customers may both receive and send goods, are an extension to classical Vehicle Routing Problems. We do not make the assumption common in literature that goods may only be picked up after all deliveries have been completed. Thereby we model industry problems encountered by freight forwarding agencies, which have to deal with dynamic pickups and deliveries in an integrated manner. The approach we take evaluates the benefits of dynamic optimization anticipating varying travel times as well as unknown customer orders in the specific environment of freight forwarding agencies. On test instances with customer distributions common in forwarding industries single depot problems are analyzed with very encouraging

متن کاملDesign an Efficient Community-based Message Forwarding Method in Mobile Social Networks
Mobile social networks (MSNs) are a special type of Delay tolerant networks (DTNs) in which mobile devices communicate opportunistically to each other. One of the most challenging issues in Mobile Social Networks (MSNs) is to design an efficient message forwarding scheme that has a high performance in terms of delivery ratio, latency and communication cost. There are two different approaches fo...
متن کاملEffects of Flight Dynamics on Performance of One Axis Gimbal System, Considering Disturbance Torques
The gimbal stabilization mechanism system is used to provide the stability to an object mounted on the gimbal by isolating it from the base angular motion and vibration. In this paper the model of one axis gimbal system with dynamics flying object is introduced. The gimbal torque relationships are obtained using Newton’s second law equation on the assumption that gimbal is rigid body. The syste...

Due to the increasing use of wireless communications, infrastructure-less networks such as Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs) should be highly considered. DTN is most suitable where there is an intermittent connection between communicating nodes such as wireless mobile ad hoc network nodes. In general, a message sending node in DTN copies the message and transmits it to nodes which it encounters. A...
