The Household Activity Pattern Problem: General Formulation and Solution
نویسنده
چکیده
The household activity pattern problem of analyzing/predicting the optimal path of household members through time and space as they complete a prescribed agenda of out-of-home activities is posed as a variant of the pickup and delivery problem with time windows. The most general case of the model includes provision for vehicle transfer, selective activity participation, and ridesharing options. A series of examples are solved using generic algorithms. The model is purported to remove existing barriers to the operationalization of activity-based approaches in travel behavior analysis.

This study assessed the knowledge, attitudes and practices on food waste of selected households in the northern province of the Philippines. The results of the assessment were used as bases for formulation of a recycling system. A total of one hundred rural households were selected using stratified equal allocation sampling technique. Data were collected through the use of researcher-made quest...

In this paper, the conjugate gradient method coupled with adjoint problem is used in order to solve the inverse heat conduction problem and estimation of the strength of the time- dependent heat source using the temperature distribution at a point in a three layer system. Also, the effect of noisy data on final solution is studied. The numerical solution of the governing equations is obtained b...
متن کاملA mathematical programming formulation of the household activity rescheduling problem
The so-called activity-based approach to analysis of human interaction with the social and physical environments dates back to the original time–space geography works of Hägerstrand and his colleagues at the Lund School. Despite their obvious theoretical attractiveness, activity-based approaches to understanding and predicting travel behavior have suffered from the absence of an analytical fram...
متن کاملThe preemptive resource-constrained project scheduling problem subject to due dates and preemption penalties: An integer programming approach
Extensive research has been devoted to resource constrained project scheduling problem. However, little attention has been paid to problems where a certain time penalty must be incurred if activity preemption is allowed. In this paper, we consider the project scheduling problem of minimizing the total cost subject to resource constraints, earliness-tardiness penalties and preemption penalties, ...
