A Heuristic for Time Constrained Arc Routing Problems
Arc routing problems arise, for example, when roads require treatment or customers must be served who are located along roads. So practical examples include the routing of people or vehicles for postal deliveries, meter reading and winter gritting, where the roads need to be treated with salt or some other agent to prevent the surface becoming icy. An arc routing problem is represented by a gra...
متن کاملEstimating sediment yield from a paved forest road (Asphalt) (Case study: Watershed Leyle, Ravansar)
Extended abstract 1- Introduction Forest roads are among the largest sediment transport sources to drainage network. So, estimating the sediments of the road network is an important factor in the evaluation of the impact of the road construction. One of the biggest problems caused by the road construction in the forest is the increase in various forms of erosion, such as Gully erosion and mas...
متن کاملSeas under Ice: Stability of Liquid-water Oceans within Icy Worlds
Introduction: The possible existence of internal oceans in some icy bodies of the outer Solar System has been suggested through the last years in a joint of observations that cover a wide range of evidences: magnetic fields in Europa and Callisto [1,2], and possibly Ganymede [3], induced by Jupiter’s plasma environment in an electricity-conducting layer near the surface of these satellites, lik...
متن کاملIntroduction to Special Issue on Hydrologic and Geomorphic Effects of Forest Roads
Roads have been a part of human landscapes for more than 40 centuries. During the 20th century, technological advances have increased our ability to construct new roads at unprecedented rates and into steeper terrain. In the last half of that century, an extensive network of roads has been constructed in forests and other wildlands to facilitate use and management of natural resources. They are...
متن کاملImpacts of Transportation Infrastructure on Stormwater and Surface Waters in Chittenden County, Vermont, USA
Transportation infrastructure is a major source of stormwater runoff that can alter hydrology and contribute significant loading of nutrients, sediment, and other pollutants to surface waters. These increased loads can contribute to impairment of streams in developed areas and ultimately to Lake Champlain. In this study we selected six watersheds that represent a range of road types (gravel and...
