Transport vehicles in the form of trucks are one important components supporting logistics system when collecting crops a plantation company. Fresh fruit bunches (FFB) produced by oil palm plantations must be sent to location crude (CPO) processing plant at predetermined time so that quality is maintained. Therefore, scheduling and arranging route truck trips plays an role. Constraints faced ab...

Background: Scheduling the arrival of external trucks in container terminals is a critical operational decision that faces both terminal managers and trucking companies. This issue crucial for stakeholders since random causes congestion extended delays trucks. The objective scheduling truck appointments not only to control workload inside costs resulting from excessive waiting times but also, r...

This paper introduces an approach for optimal scheduling of external trucks in container terminals. The proposed integrates the k-means clustering algorithm with a bi-objective optimization model. matches export and import containers into tuples, reducing number empty trips. model objectives are: minimizing deviation from trucking companies’ preferred arrival times total truck turnaround times,...

The Truck Factor designates the minimal number of developers that have to be hit by a truck (or quit) before a project is incapacitated. It can be seen as a measurement of the concentration of information in individual team members. We calculate the Truck Factor for 133 popular GitHub applications, in six languages. Results show that most systems have a small truck factor (46% have Truck Factor...

OBJECTIVE This study presents data from a large-scale anthropometric study of U.S. truck drivers and the multivariate anthropometric models developed for the design of next-generation truck cabs. BACKGROUND Up-to-date anthropometric information of the U.S. truck driver population is needed for the design of safe and ergonomically efficient truck cabs. METHOD We collected 35 anthropometric d...

Crew scheduling can be defined as the problem of assigning a group of workers (a crew) to a set of tasks. The crews are typically interchangeable , although in some cases different crews possess different characteristics that affect which subsets of tasks they can complete. Crew scheduling problems appear in a number of transportation contexts. Examples include bus and rail transit, truck and r...

This paper considers a problem in which orders are processed by either one of two parallel machines and delivered by a single delivery truck to one customer area. Coordination among production stage and distribution stage in the supply chain to achieve ideal overall system performance has become more practical and has received a lot of attention from both industry practitioners and academic res...
