Demand-responsive Transport (DRT) is a popular topic in the field of transportation. The rolling horizon approach can be used to achieve an efficient operation DRT system context trip pre-booking. In this study, optimizer implemented and agent-based transport simulation framework. A series experiments are performed study performance approach. results provide general guidelines on how set up for...

A Note on Ending Inventory Valuation in Multiperiod Production Scheduling Wilco van den Heuvel • Albert P.M. Wagelmans Econometric Institute Report EI 2002-25 Econometric Institute, Erasmus University Rotterdam, PO Box 1738, 3000 DR Rotterdam, The Netherlands [email protected] • [email protected] June 2002 In a recent paper, Fisher et al. (2001) present a method to mitigate end-effect...

This paper considers a dynamic lot size problem faced by a producer who supplies a single product to multiple customers. Characterized by their backorder costs as well as shipping costs, the customer with a high backorder cost is the one whose need for the product is more critical than the need of a customer with a low backorder cost. We show that the general problem with time-varying, customer...

Multi-Agent Path Finding (MAPF) is the problem of moving a team agents to their goal locations without collisions. In this paper, we study lifelong variant MAPF, where are constantly engaged with new locations, such as in large-scale automated warehouses. We propose framework Rolling-Horizon Collision Resolution (RHCR) for solving MAPF by decomposing into sequence Windowed instances, solver res...

Neural control of optomotor responses in Locusta migratoria was studied using a newly developed preparation of intact, tethered, flying locusts. The preparation could perform normal flight behaviour and head movements while neurones in the neck connectives were recorded and stimulated intracellularly. Course deviations simulated by an artificial horizon caused optomotor reactions, e.g. steering...

AIM To compare the burning characteristics of the tobacco and paper of manufactured and hand rolled cigarettes, and set a fire safety standard of manufacture to largely reduce the fire risk from discarded cigarettes. METHODS (1) Cigarette extinction test of ignition strength: 40 cigarettes per brand, lit and placed on 15 layers of filter paper, in accordance with ASTM test standard E2187-02. ...

Reservation-based intersection controls, in which vehicles reserve space-time paths through the intersection, have the potential to make greater use of intersection capacity than traffic signals. However, the efficiency of previous microsimulations of reservations has been severely limited by a protocol that requires vehicles to request reservations and the intersection manager to accept or rej...
