We examine the interplay between business and logistical aspects of a heterogeneous vehicle mix fleet size problem using inputs from dairy cooperative in India. Five objective functions have been modelled simultaneously solved mixed-integer linear fuzzy goal programming method. These include net profit as maximization function, transportation cost, time, lost sales due to non-service, in-transi...

Container movement by trucks with time constraints at origins and destinations is modeled as an asymmetric ‘‘multi-Traveling Salesmen Problem with Time Windows’’ (m-TSPTW) with social constraints. A two-phase exact algorithm based on dynamic programming (DP) is proposed that finds the best routes for a fleet of trucks. Since the m-TSPTW problem is NP-hard, the computational time for optimally s...

FOR MOST LAW ENFORCEMENT AND EMERGENCY SERVICES AGENCIES, THE costs related to the purchasing, equipping, operating and maintaining of fleets is the largest single recurring cost, outside that of personnel. The cost of acquiring vehicles, the costs associated with equipping and maintaining these vehicles, and escalating fuel costs have created difficulties for many departments— including police...

the first international convention on maritime transportation is thebrussels’ convention of 1924. this convention was widely acceptedthroughout the world and; thus, lasted for a long time due to the widespreadsupport of the countries possessing fleet for this convention and the lack ofexistence of a legal document in terms of maritime transportation. thepassage of time together with innovations...
