In this paper, it is shown that by exploiting the explicit parametric state feedback solution, it is feasible to obtain the ultimate solution to minimum sensitivity problem. A numerical algorithm for construction of a robust state feedback in eigenvalue assignment problem for a controllable linear system is presented. By using a generalized parametric vector companion form, the problem of eigen...

−− A key issue in logistics is the efficient management of a vehicle fleet servicing a set of customers with known demands. Every vehicle route must start and finish at the assigned depot, each customer is to be visited by a single vehicle and vehicle capacities must not be exceeded. These are the constraints for the capacitated vehicle routing problem (VRP) whose objective is usually the minim...

Tug fleet optimisation algorithms can be designed to solve the problem of dynamically positioning a fleet of tugs in order to mitigate the risk of oil tanker drifting accidents. In this paper, we define the tug fleet optimisation problem and present the details of a receding horizon genetic algorithm for solving it. The algorithm can be configured with a set of cost functions such that each con...

Traffic assignment algorithms are used to determine possible use of paths between origin-destination pairs and predict traffic flow in network links. One of the main deficiencies of ordinary traffic assignment methods is that in most of them one measure (mostly travel time) is usually included in objective function and other effective performance measures in traffic assignment are not considere...

Abstract This paper presents the development of a model how to assign LNG carriers from single source number scattered small-scale power plants in milk-run operation strategy. Typically, researchers assume that ports/terminals be visited are as given parameters. In this paper, specifications (infrastructures) considered consequence selected carriers. The objective is determine optimum size and ...

Regional air mobility refers to the transportation of passengers aboard small aircraft over short distances. These operations are challenging due low passenger volumes, competing modes, and high operating costs. Nevertheless, recent convergence new technologies for electric propulsion autonomy brings promise step-changes in both efficiency sustainability. The next challenge is define concepts t...

We consider the problem of assigning flights to baggage belts in reclaim area an airport. The is originated by a real-life application Copenhagen objective construct robust schedule taking passenger and airline preferences into account. number business fairness constraints, avoiding congestion, ensuring good flow. Robustness solutions achieved matching delivery time with expected arrival passen...
