the mountains as the other natural environment are the main purposes for nature based tourism such as sport tourism and have a finite capacity for recreation development which differs from one place to another and naturally causes different type of tourism’s development. therefore land suitability is very important before tourism planning. some charactristics like geomorphological, biological a...

today, ecotourism is a major tourist activity around the world. it is based on environment potential through which suitable utilization and conservation of sites under management practices including considering accurate planning, potential, and peoples’ preferences are realized. the present study was conducted to determine people’s recreational preferences using questionnaires to evaluate the e...

With the increasing demand for autonomous ship, a fast planning method long-distance ship routes is needed. In this paper, multi-scale Visibility Graph (VG) proposed long-voyage route planning, as solution to problems of slow and poor accuracy. First, polygon data obstacles are extracted from an electronic chart. order reduce number Points (VPs), VPs expanded convex points these polygons. The s...

A novel approach for sensor planning, which incorporates multi-objective optimization principals into the autonomous design of sensing strategies, is presented. The study addresses planning the behavior of an automated 3D inspection system, consisting of a manipulator robot in an Eye-on-Hand configuration. Task planning in this context is stated as a constrained multi-objective optimization pro...

Individual multi-modal trip planning is a major task in transportation science. With increasing availability of new means of transportation personal constraints (e.g. elevator phobia or fear of flying) and preferences (e.g. train over bus) gain higher impact. Existing trip planners are mostly based on static time-tables and roadnetwork data. Furthermore an objective function that covers individ...

Models of planning under uncertainty, and in particular, MDPs and POMDPs have received much attention in the AI and DecisionTheoretic planning communities (Boutilier, Dean, and Hanks 1999; Kaelbling, Littman, and Cassandra 1998). These models allow for a richer and more realistic representation of real-world planning problems, but lead to increased complexity. Recently, a new approach for handl...

extended abstract 1. introduction high traffic volume is one of the most common problems of urban transportation in metropolises. the increase in the number of vehicles in case of not having necessary predictions also enhances the demand for fueling in places where mostly are unable to respond to such needs. site selection of public facilities is an instance of policies of local governments wit...
