The growing traffic congestion in urban areas creates an urgent need for a better transportation planning. In this context, traffic assignment models can be used to help public authorities to test the impact of various transportation policies such as enlarging areas where bottleneck occurs, work start time flexbility etc. The representation of traffic variations over time allows dynamic transpo...

In this study, a genetic algorithm is applied to obtain the best combination of transportation parameters for vehicle dispatching. The searching mechanism based on genetic algorithm can find several feasible solutions of dispatching parameters to proceed with transportation plan within constrained conditions. Besides, the concept of fuzzy due time is applied to replace that of time window so as...

با رشد سریع فناوری اطلاعات، تولیدکنندگان که در گذشته فقط به‌صورت سنتی و از طریق خرده‌فروشان محصولات خود را عرضه می‌کردند، می‌توانند مستقیم آنلاین نیز کنند. این پژوهش، یک زنجیره تأمین دو­کاناله شامل تولیدکننده خرده‌فروش نظر گرفته است آن می‌تواند دو کانال به فروش برساند. فرض می‌­شود محصول روش حمل درنتیجه زمان تحویل متفاوت ‌می‌کند قاعدتاً روی تقاضای یکدیگر تأثیر می‌گذارد. موردنظر ابتدا حالت غیرمتمر...

In this work we present a method to be used in decision support system (DSS), which solve the Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows. In order to find a good estimation of customers’ delivery time, we consider the fluctuations of the travel time. Solving the routing problems with time constraints without taking into account the fluctuations of the travel time during the day, can lead to seri...

in this study, the profitability of contrarian and momentum strategies were traded in mid- term based on trading volume. the stocks were categorized into three parts (high, middle and low) at the outset. then, the relationship between excess return with three components such as cross-sectional risk, lead-lag effect and time-series pattern were examined based on jegadeesh and titman approach.the...

in this paper, the problem of determining the quality level, lead time for order delivery and price of a product produced by a manufacturer is considered. in this problem the demand for the product is influenced by all three decision variables: price, lead time and quality level. to formulate the demand function, a fuzzy rule base that estimates the demand value based on the three decision vari...

the intelligent transportation system (its) provides wireless and mobile communication between vehicles and infrastructure to improve the safety of transportation and make the journey more enjoyable. this system consists of many fixed and mobile nodes (vehicles, trains, vessels, air planes), wireless and wired telecommunication technologies to exchange information between mobile nodes or betwee...

One main group of a transportation network is a discrete hub covering problem that seeks to minimize the total transportation cost. This paper presents a multi-product and multi-mode hub covering model, in which the transportation time depends on travelling mode between each pair of hubs. Indeed, the nature of products is considered different and hub capacity constraint is also applied. Due to ...
