Significant delays and resulting environmental impacts are commonly observed during departure operations at major US and European airports. One approach for mitigating airport congestion and delays is to exercise tactical operations planning and control with an objective to improve the efficiency of surface and terminal area operations. As a subtask of planning airport surface operations, this ...

ITE JOURNAL / SEPTEMBER 2005 INTRODUCTION METROPLAN ORLANDO is the metropolitan planning organization (MPO) for the Orlando, FL, USA, metropolitan area. Linking planning and operations came of age at the agency during the recent update of the Year 2025 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP). Measuring the benefits of using technology to manage and operate a transportation system enabled addition...

OBJECTIVES Continuity of operations planning focuses on an organization's ability to deliver essential services before, during and after an emergency. Public health leaders must make decisions based on information from many sources and their information needs are often facilitated or hindered by technology. The aim of this study is to provide a systematic review of studies of technology project...

A process-planning model (PP model) is proposed to convert the geometric features into manufacture machining operations and sequence the machining operations of the part in a feasible and effective order. The process-planning model (PP model) construct a feature framework that makes a mapping from geometric features into machining operations. A semantic net named the Precedence-Relations-Net is...

Disasters can cause many casualties and considerable destruction mainly because of ineffective preventive measures, incomplete preparedness, and weak relief logistics systems. After catastrophic events happen, quick and effective response is of great importance, so as to having an efficient logistic plan for distributing needed relief commodities efficiently and fairly among affected people. In...

tendency to optimization in last decades has resulted in creating multi-product manufacturing systems. production planning in such systems is difficult, because optimal production volume that is calculated must be consistent with limitation of production system. hence, integration has been proposed to decide about these problems concurrently. main problem in integration is how we can relate pro...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present a dynamic planning model for earth moving operations through capturing the operations context level (scope change, skill level, etc.). Method Uncertainties, scope, and changes in project condition call for dynamic modeling of earthmoving operations. Static planning and scheduling methods such as CPM and PERT neglect – and are incapable of – consid...
