conclusions the two key requirements of the first aid and transportation courses are practicality and managerial engagement. we developed and provided specific guidance of fat curriculum by using the study findings. this curriculum is recommended for educating fat staffs, paramedics, emergency technicians, and military nurses. results study participants’ experiences of wartime first aid and tra...

This article deals with the intermodal transportation problem for the commodities delivery between different locations. The time – dependent shortest path planning, in which the travel time along each arc is a known function of the departure time along the arc, is a very important problem and arises in many practical application such as a routing system of a container used in the time – depende...

The Multi-objective transportation problem (MOTSP) is a of linear type optimization problem which contains all equality type constraints and the multi variable objectives. Here we have presented an application of Evolutionary Algorithms to the multi-objective transportation problem (MOTSP). We consider the multi-objective transportation problem as linear optimization problem and use a special t...

Public transportation systems across the United States serve millions of riders every day, forming crucial links between people and their daily destinations. In this work, we develop a method for modeling public transportation systems as network graphs. We use the resultant graphs to study the properties of 18 public transportation systems from cities and counties in the United States and Canad...

In real world applications the supply, the demand and the transportation cost per unit of the quantities in a transportation problem are hardly specified precisely because of the changing economic and environmental conditions. It is also important that the time required for transportation should be minimum. In this paper a method has been proposed for the minimization of transportation cost as ...

The Transportation Research Forum, founded in 1958, is an independent, nonprofit organization of transportation professionals who conduct, use, and benefit from research. Its purpose is to provide an impartial meeting ground for carriers, shippers, government officials, consultants, university researchers, suppliers, and others seeking exchange of information and ideas related to both passenger...

The paper presents a novel Newton method for constructing canonical Wiener-Hopf factorizations of complex matrix polynomials and spectral factorizations of positive definite matrix polynomials. The factorizations are the ones needed for discrete-time linear systems and hence with respect to the unit circle. The Jacobi matrix is analyzed, and the convergence of the method is proved and tested nu...
