A Simulation Framework for Assessing the Performance of Cooperative Transportation Planning Algorithms
ثبت نشده
چکیده
In this paper, we suggest a framework that allows for the simulation-based performance assessment of algorithms for cooperative transportation planning. Therefore, we consider a coupling architecture that connects simulation models of the logistic system and the transportation planning algorithms. The center point of this architecture is a blackboard-type data layer between transportation planning system and the simulation engine. We provide detailed information on how the different subsystems communicate and how each system triggers events of the other systems. In a case study, we show how the suggested framework supports the required performance assessment.

Meta-heuristic Algorithms for an Integrated Production-Distribution Planning Problem in a Multi-Objective Supply Chain
In today's globalization, an effective integration of production and distribution plans into a unified framework is crucial for attaining competitive advantage. This paper addresses an integrated multi-product and multi-time period production/distribution planning problem for a two-echelon supply chain subject to the real-world variables and constraints. It is assumed that all transportations a...
متن کاملA decision support system for cooperative transportation planning: Design, implementation, and performance assessment
In this paper, we describe a decision support system for cooperative transportation planning in the German food industry where several manufacturing companies share their fleets to reduce transportation costs. Besides using vehicles of their fleets, there are different outsourcing options offered by logistics service providers, but these are muchmore expensive. The decision-making kernel of the...

In this paper, our objective is maximizing total sum-rate subject to power constraints on total relay transmit power or individual relay powers, for amplify-and-forward single-antenna relay-based wireless communication networks. We derive a closed-form solution for the total power constraint optimization problem and show that the individual relay power constraints optimization problem is a quad...
متن کاملElectromagnetism-like Algorithms for The Fuzzy Fixed Charge Transportation Problem
In this paper, we consider the fuzzy fixed-charge transportation problem (FFCTP). Both of fixed and transportation cost are fuzzy numbers. Contrary to previous works, Electromagnetism-like Algorithms (EM) is firstly proposed in this research area to solve the problem. Three types of EM; original EM, revised EM, and hybrid EM are firstly employed for the given problem. The latter is being firstl...
