in this paper, a new genetic algorithm (ga) is presented for solving the multi-mode resource-constrained project scheduling problem (mrcpsp) with minimization of project makespan as the objective subject to resource and precedence constraints. a random key and the related mode list (ml) representation scheme are used as encoding schemes and the multi-mode serial schedule generation scheme (mssg...

Forecast of air transport demand has a great influence on the development of airport master plans with respect both to airside (runways, taxiways, aprons, technological devices) and landside (boarding/landing area, waiting rooms, etc.), given that it depends on the amount of passengers during the reference time period, usually the year or more years for such aim. As a result of deregulation and...

in this paper, we present a genetic algorithm (ga) for optimization of a multi-mode resource constrained time cost trade off (mrctct) problem. the proposed ga, each activity has several operational modes and each mode identifies a possible executive time and cost of the activity. beyond earlier studies on time-cost trade-off problem, in mrctct problem, resource requirements of each execution mo...

this research provides an optimization tool for use by supply chain managers in the design and operation of manufacturing- distribution networks under uncertain demand conditions. the problem under consideration consists of determining the supply chain infrastructure; raw material purchases, shipments, and inventories; and finished product production quantities, inventories, and shipments neede...

in this paper, a fully informed particle swarm (fips) algorithm is proposed for solving the multi-mode resource-constrained project scheduling problem (mrcpsp) with minimization of project makespan as the objective subject to resource and precedence constraints. in the proposed fips, a random key and the related mode list (ml) representation scheme are used as encoding schemes and the multi-mod...

This paper deals with day-ahead programming under uncertainties in microgrids (MGs). A two-stage stochastic programming with the fixed recourse approach was adopted. The studied MG was considered in the grid-connected mode with the capability of power exchange with the upstream network. Uncertain electricity market prices, unpredictable load demand, and uncertain wind and solar power values, du...

This paper develops a decentralized leader-follower game for network design of a competitive supply chain problem in which a new chain as the leader enters a market with one existing supply chain as a follower. Both chains produce an identical product, customer demand is inelastic and customer utility function is based on Huff gravity-based model. The leader wants to shape his network and set a...

Local bus network is the most popular transit mode and the only available transit mode in the majority of cities of the world. Increasing the utility of this mode which increases its share from urban trips is an important goal for city planners. Timetable setting as the second component of bus network design problem (network route design timetable setting vehicle assignment crew assignment) hav...

Travel demand is well announced as a crucial component of transportation planning. This paper aims to develop a direct demand model, denoting a more acceptable abstraction of reality, for intercity passengers in daily work and leisure trips in Tehran province. The model utilizes combined estimation across the data source, collected in 2011, of travelers originating from ...
