Cyclic Scheduling for Supply Chain Network
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper concerns the domain of Supply Chain Network Infrastructure (SCNI) usually observed in the multimodal transportation systems such as Multimodal Passenger Transport Systems supported by lines of buses, trains, etc., and focuses on the scheduling problems encountered in these systems. SCNI can be modeled as a network of lines providing cyclic routes for particular kinds of stream-like moving transportation means. Lines and using them passengers can be seen as a multi agent system where passengers expectations compete with lines capability. The main question regards of SCNI schedulability, e.g. the guarantee the same distances in assumed different directions will require similar amount of the travel time. The declarative model of SCNI enabling to formulate cyclic scheduling problem in terms of the constraint satisfaction is our contribution.
