A Road Map for Civil Engineers towards Bridge Engineering Through Academic Education and Professional Training

It is common in many countries that engineers having an academic degree in Civil Engineering are appointed responsible for different tasks related to Bridge Engineering. However, there are serious questions about whether formal university courses in civil engineering could cover the needs of a bridge engineer to fulfill his or her job successfully. Regarding the recent significant advances in t...

Integrated Order Batching and Distribution Scheduling in a Single-block Order Picking Warehouse Considering S-Shape Routing Policy

In this paper, a mixed-integer linear programming model is proposed to integrate batch picking and distribution scheduling problems in order to optimize them simultaneously in an order picking warehouse. A tow-phase heuristic algorithm is presented to solve it in reasonable time. The first phase uses a genetic algorithm to evaluate and select permutations of the given set of customers. The seco...

Predicting Weather and Road Conditions: An Integrated Decision Support Tool for Winter Road Maintenance Operations

Winter road maintenance practitioners have expressed a strong interest in obtaining weather and road condition forecasts and treatment recommendations specific to winter road maintenance routes. These user needs led the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Office of Transportation Operations Road Weather Management Program to support the development of a prototype winter road Maintenance Decis...
