The work presented in this paper aims to model and solve multi-criteria international itinerary planning problems The emerging itinerary planning problems are defined on a multimodal time-dependent transportation network that consists of hierarchically interconnected international, interurban and urban transportation networks. The itinerary planning problems under study fall into two major cate...

Awareness of World Heritage Sites (WHS) is a marketing tool used to promote destination. Once tourist arrives, the ‘trip experience’ becomes vital ensure repeat visits and showcase positive image destination potential tourists. This study has tried link impact tourists awareness WHS aiming understand relationship six ‘domains’ forming proposed model. The data was collected from an on-site surve...

This paper introduces a multi-period, two-dimensional vehicle loading and dispatching problem, called Two-Dimensional Vehicle Loading Dispatching Problem with Incompatibility Constraints (VLDP). The problem concerns preparing single-origin single-destination transportation plan of required orders to vehicles at the origin deliver destination within their due dates. decision maker uses own fleet...

Uncertainty about possible train delays has an impact on train trips, as the exact arrival time is unknown during trip planning. Delays can lead to missing a connecting train at the transfer station, or to coming too late to an appointment at the destination. Facing this uncertainty, the traveler may wish to use an earlier train or a different connection arriving well before the appointment. Cu...

This paper derives the distribution of the deviation distance to visit an alternative fuel station. Distance is measured as the Euclidean distance on a continuous plane. The distribution explicitly considers the vehicle range and whether the round trip between origin and destination can be made. Three cases are examined: fuel is available at both origin and destination, fuel is available at eit...

In this paper we first considered a maximum likelihood estimation of trip distribution problem and next use primal-dual geometric programming method the said trip distribution problem converted into an entropy maximization trip distribution problem. Here the generalized cost function is assumed in different form, and then the said formulation is equivalent to single or multi-objective entropy m...

A case study of the Singapore road network provides empirical evidence that road pricing can significantly affect commuter trip timing behaviors. In this paper, we propose a model of trip timing decisions that reasonably matches the observed commuters’ behaviors. Our model explicitly captures the difference in individuals’ sensitivity to price, travel time and early or late arrival at destinati...
