Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Application of Combined Model for Tehran Metropolitan Area Incorporating Captive Travel BehaviorShahriar A. Zargari, Morteza Araghi, Kouros MohammadianTo overcome deficiencies of the sequential transportation planning approach, this research applies a Combined Trip Distribution and Assignment Model (CTDAM) for the simultaneous prediction. The proposed combined model can itself be reformulated as an Equivalent Minimization Problem (EMP). When applying the Evans algorithm to the EMP, the CTDAM is expected to be usable in a realistic application. The objective of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 7,855 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTwo Mathematical Modeling Approaches for Integrating Production and Transportation Decisions in the Process IndustryMohamed K. Omar, A. AjithaIn this study we focus on coordination of the production planning of finished products and intermediate products in the process industry. The problem consists of two manufacturing facilities with similar production environment, one producing the intermediates and the other producing end products that are separated by a distance. There is transportation between the facilities. The problem considered has been formulated … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 6,521 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Efficient Algorithm for Capacitated Multifacility Location ProblemsChansiri Singhtaun, Peerayuth CharnsethikulIn this paper, a squared-Euclidean distance multifacility location problem with inseparable demands under balanced transportation constraints is analyzed. Using calculus to project the problem onto the space of allocation variables, the problem becomes minimizing concave quadratic integer programming problem. The algorithm based on extreme point ranking method combining with logical techniques is developed. The numerical experiments are randomly generated to … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2007 · 6,441 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntegration of Genetic Algorithm with Tabu Search for Job Shop Scheduling with Unordered Subsequence Exchange CrossoverR. Thamilselvan, P. BalasubramanieProblem statement: The problem of scheduling n jobs on m machines with each job having specific machine route has been researched over the decade. The Job Shop Scheduling (JSS) is one of the hardest combinatorial optimization problems. Each resource can process at most one job at a time. Approach: This study proposes a new approach to solve a Job Shop … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 24 Feb 2012 · 6,650 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMechanical Strength and Durability Properties of High Performance Mortar Containing Densified Silica FumeCheah Chee Ban, Mahyuddin RamliProblem statement: Numerous data and information on pozzolanic reaction and microfiller properties of silica fume were derived from laboratory investigation on silica fume in undensified form. Currently, due to low bulk density of undensified silica fume which poses problem in transportation and handling of the material, silica fume are commercially supplied in densified form. Densification process used to increase bulk … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2011 · 7,956 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimizing the Newspaper Distribution Scenarios using Genetic Algorithm: A Case Study of IndiaSachin Suresh Kamble, Rakesh Raut, Shradha Ashok GawankarThis paper attempts to optimize the various newspaper distribution scenario as observed in India. It found from the literature that earlier research work carried out in optimizing the vehicle routing networks problem using time window and scope was limited to distribution from newspaper printing location to the vendor point of distribution. This paper focuses on the distribution of newspaper from … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 4 · 12 Apr 2017 · 8,187 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMunicipal Solid Waste Generation and its Management, a Growing Threat to Fragile Ecosystem in Kashmir HimalayaRouf Ahmad Bhat, Moonisa Aslam Dervash, Mohammad Aneesul Mehmood, Khalid Rehman HakeemThe Kashmir valley is facing tremendous pressure associated with problems of growing waste generation. Thus, the aim of the present research was to generate baseline data for adequate waste management and associated problems. For the collection of samples, 20 houses were randomly selected in the main town from each district and segregated into compostable, recyclable, combustible and inert categories.
