A capacitated location-routing problem (CLRP) is one of the new areas of research in distribution management. It consists of two problems; locating of facilities and routing of the vehicle with a specific capacity. The purpose of the CLRP is to open a set of stores, allocate customers to established deposits, and then design vehicle tours in order to minimize the total cost. In this paper, a ne...

This paper presents an intelligent formation operation mode (IFOM) based on straddle-type rapid transit vehicles. Taking the vehicles operating in IFOM as object, of vehicle is defined control system architecture system. In addition, considering heterogeneous environ-ment vehicles, evaluation index for proposed. Then, according to longitudinal dynamics model and artificial potential field algor...

This paper is concerned with the study of bidirectionally coupled platoon systems. The case considered is when the vehicles are heterogeneous and the coupling can be asymmetric and nonlinear. For such systems, a sufficient condition for L∞ string stability is presented. The effectiveness of our approach is illustrated via a numerical example, where it is shown how our result can be recast as an...

This demo combines active DB technology in open, heterogeneous environments with the Web presence requirements of nomadic users. It illustrates these through profiling of users and Internet-enabled vehicles. A scenario is developed in which useful functionality is provided, such as instrument adjustments, maintenance and diagnostic information handling with the corresponding workflows, and conv...

Autonomous driving clouds provide essential services to support autonomous vehicles. Today these services include but not limited to distributed simulation tests for new algorithm deployment, offline deep learning model training, and High-Definition (HD) map generation. These services require infrastructure support including distributed computing, distributed storage, as well as heterogeneous c...

The current Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystems consist of non-interoperable platform, data silos, heterogeneous devices, technologies and standards. Utilization of the Web standards and their best practices can bring harmony in the fragmented IoT market paving way for Web of Things (WoT). This work advocates for WoT based architecture to integrate the connected vehicles into the IoT ecosystems...

time-dependent vehicle routing problem is one of the most applicable but least-studied variants of routing and scheduling problems. in this paper, a novel mathematical formulation of time-dependent vehicle routing problems with heterogeneous fleet, hard time widows and multiple depots, is proposed. to deal with the traffic congestions, we also considered that the vehicles are not forced to come...

the heterogeneous fixed fleet open vehicle routing problem (hffovrp) is one of the most significant extension problems of the open vehicle routing problem (ovrp). the hffovrp is the problem of designing collection routes to a number of predefined nodes by a fixed fleet number of vehicles with various capacities and related costs. in this problem, the vehicle doesn’t return to the depot after se...

Recently, issues of energy shortage and environment pollution of mankind society become more and more serious. Production of electric vehicles provides a new idea for mankind to solve this kind of issues. However, largescale electric vehicles put into operation and connected to the grid is a major challenge to the security and stability of power grid. This paper references the job scheduling al...

When crossing traffic at busy intersections, drivers must keep track of the changing positions of cyclists, pedestrians and other vehicles to avoid collision. Multiple-object tracking is the ability to monitor the positions of a number of selected moving objects (targets) among others (distractors) in a complex scene. Most young adults can track 3-5 items at once but older adults cannot track a...
