Waste transfer-stations play an important role in a community’s waste management system, serving as the link between a community’s solid waste collection program and a final waste disposal facility. This study aims to estimate economic values of externalities related to waste transfer-stations in Israel. Most externalities are associated with local disamenities experienced by residents living i...

Complex railway networks typically consist of widely diffused OD-pairs by which it is impossible to provide direct trips only. Therefore, passengers often have to change trains at transfer stations. Guaranteeing scheduled connections is complicated by delays during operation. To improve and maintain the quality of transfers requires optimal scheduling and control of connections at transfer stat...

Tourists want to tell other people about their journeys and adventures. This is often done via social networks and digital photos. But what if one could tell other people about a great tour by sharing the tour itself with others than just photos or short messages?. In this paper, we present an intuitive authoring tool for gamebased city tours and a rendering app for these tours on iOS. This way...

A transfer line design problem is considered. Transfer lines are sequences of workstations equipped with processing modules called blocks each of which performs specific operations. These lines are used for mass production of one type of product and thus execute repetitively a given set of operations. The machine parts move along the stations in the same direction. An identical cost is associat...
