The integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in the transportation sector has resulted in organized and effective transportation services in many developed societies. The road transportation system in Nigeria is un-coordinated and has resulted to inefficient public transportation services.

Logistics, transportation and distribution engineering can be divided into internal or in-plant logistics and external manufacturing or distribution logistics. The Internal or in-plant logistics includes the material handling systems and storage systems and the external manufacturing or distribution logistics includes the transportation modes such as trains and trucks. Both must be integrated i...

hub covering location problem, network design,   single machine scheduling, genetic algorithm,   shuffled frog leaping algorithm   hub location problems (hlp) are synthetic optimization problems that appears in telecommunication and transportation networks where nodes send and receive commodities (i.e., data transmissions, passengers transportation, express packages, postal deliveries, etc.) th...

Earlier articles by the authors described the primary database design approaches that have been and are being used in geographic information system applications for transportation. These articles proposed a theoretical model for an enterprise geographic information system environment for transportation agencies. This follow-up article provides detailed guidance on building a multimodal transpor...

Researches and experiments in the field of transportation studies have proved that an effective and robust urban transportation system can favour sustainable urban development and optimisation of transportation facilities. Modelling urban transportation information is an engineering and research issue that has attracted the design of many conceptual and logical data models. However, the applica...

A systematic procedure including process design and integration techniques for designing and operating energy distribution networks, and for transportation of resources is presented in this paper. In the developed model a simultaneous multi-objectives and multi-period optimization is principally investigated. In addition to optimize the transportation of resources/products, the proposed method ...
