Regarding the location of a facility, the presumption in the widely used p-median model is that the customer opts for the shortest route to the nearest facility. However, this assumption is problematic on free markets since the customer is presumed to gravitate to a facility by the distance to and the attractiveness of it. The recently introduced gravity p-median model offers an extension to th...

A GPS & GSM Based Vehicle Tracking and Employee Security System combine the installation of an electronic device in a vehicle, with purpose-designed computer software to enable the company to track the vehicle's location. In vehicle tracking systems we use Global Positioning System (GPS) technology for locating the vehicle. Vehicle information can be viewed on electronic maps via the Internet o...

end of life vehicles, cause serious environmental impact owing to present end of life treatment practice and abandonment in the nature. the enormous volume of vehicle waste and accompanying environmental impacts encourage seeking an environmentally effective policy solution to control the problem of end- of – life vehicle. this research attempt to explore and discuss the determinant factors, wh...

in this paper an optimal controller is proposed for a self-balancing electrical vehicle called segway pt. this vehicle has one platform and two wheels on the sides and the rider stands on the platform. a handlebar, as a navigator, is attached to the body of segway, with which the rider controls the vehicle. since segway uses electrical energy produced by batteries, resource consumption manageme...

In this manuscript proposes a hybrid approach for locating and sizing Electric vehicle charging stations (EVCSs) optimally managing the process. The proposed is to work in conjunction with Mexican Axolotl optimization (MAO) Wild Horse Optimizer (WHO) hence it named as MAOWHO approach. major purposes of are site size electric parking lot (EVPL) improve benefit EVPL participation reserve market. ...

in this paper, we investigate a decision support system (dss) for the resolution of real-life vehicle routing and scheduling problem (vrsp). scheduling the deliveries from a regional distribution centre (rdc) to large stores of a major fmcg retailer includes every possible vehicle routing complexity. usual constraints that are seen are: size of the vehicle and the length of the driving day, loa...

suspension system is one of the most important factors in provision of ride comfort and dynamic stability in any vehicle. meanwhile the suspension systems of tracked vehicles, due to their continuous track, have particular specification in comparison with other vehicles. this specification causes tracked vehicles having an improved dynamic stability in off-road maneuvers compared to vehicles wi...

this research presents and solves a new mathematical model for school bus routing problem (sbrp). sbrp is a specific case of vehicle routing problem (vrp). despite prevalent models, this model includes location and routing simultaneously. besides, the vehicles are non-homogenous. in addition, instead of locating schools which are the depots, we consider locating bus stops that are mentioned &ap...
