This paper examines a manufacturer’s integrated planning problem for the production and the delivery of a set of orders. The manufacturer in this setting can use two vehicle types for outbound shipments. The first type of vehicle is available in unlimited numbers, but expensive. The second type, which is relatively low in its price, has limited and time-varying availability. We analyze the manu...

A new algorithm to eliminate moving cast shadow for robust vehicle detection and extraction in a vision-based highway monitoring system is investigated in this research. The proposed algorithm is based on a simplified 2D vehicle/shadow model of six types projected to a 2D image plane. Parameters of the joint 2D vehicle/shadow models can be estimated from input video without the light source and...

the capacitated vehicle routing problem (cvrp) is a well-known combinatorial optimization problem that holds a central place in logistics management. the vehicle routing is an applied task in the industrial transportation for which an optimal solution will lead us to better services, save more time and ultimately increase in customer satisfaction. this problem is classified into np-hard problem...

among numerous np-hard problems, the traveling salesman problem (tsp) has been one of the most explored, yet unknown one. even a minor modification changes the problem’s status, calling for a different solution. the generalized traveling salesman problem (gtsp)expands the tsp to a much more complicated form, replacing single nodes with a group or cluster of nodes, where the objective is to fi...

the suspension system of a vehicle is one of the most important parts which is involved in the process of vehicle designing. when a vehicle suspension system is designed, the evaluation of its performance against the road disturbances such as shocks and bumps are very important. the most commonly used systems consist of four hydraulic jacks with mobility in vertical line with low speed and low ...

length and height and models from a single image captured by a camera. The camera can capture the image in different lighting conditions. The car features are extracted, normalized, and classified using an ensemble of neural-network classifiers. In this technology, the performance of the proposed method is evaluated on a data set of practical car images. In the database different types of vehic...

Average delay is perhaps the most commonly used measure for characterizing the performance of signalized intersections. Current methodologies for estimating the average delay rely on the use of models based on volumes and green times. In practice, it is challenging to develop such real-time measurements of delay, due to the difficulty of accurately measuring vehicle arrivals and departures. How...

This paper studied the comprehensive evaluation index of sensory luxury of Sound Quality in Vehicle interior noise. The relationship between it and psychoacoustic parameters under different conditions was studied. Four types of vehicle real-time noises were recorded at several running speeds and later were subjectively evaluated in the testing room by semantic subdivided method. According to th...

Vanets have the ability to transmit various types of information between a vehicle and another, or between a vehicle and a fixed station. However, transmission may be impaired due to long delays, quantity of collisions and signal noise. This is caused, in part, by abrupt changes in the network topology. Thus, in order to maintain the quality and stability of the network, a mechanism is proposed...

To develop an effective vehicle control system, it is needed to estimate vehicle mot ions accurately. In the absence of commercially available transducers to measure the tire forces direct ly, various types of estimation methods have been investigated in the past. Most models in the literature usually use lowdegrees of freedom. In this paper, a new estimation process is proposed to estimate tir...
