Aging aircraft can be effectively managed by a combination of deterministic and probabilistic metrics. The deterministic metric provides a damage index for each aircraft relative to the full-scale test. This indexing method based on crack initiation or crack growth, may not be singly sufficient to support fleet management decisions at a time when the fleet is aging. To ensure safety of fleet, a...

With the increasing reliance on space systems for communications, the number of multi-satellite, multimission operators, in both the government and commercial sectors, is also increasing. To prevent the operations and maintenance costs from increasing linearly, or worse, with the number of satellites, operators are attempting to consolidate operations and maintenance across the satellite fleet....

Drones, or UAVs, are developed very intensively. There many effective applications of drones for problems monitoring, searching, detection, communication, delivery, and transportation cargo in various sectors the economy. The reliability resolution these should play a principal role. Therefore, studies encompassing analysis swarms (fleets) important. As shown this paper, drone its components is...

In this study, we present and discuss a variant of the classical vehicle routing problem (VRP), namely heterogeneous multitype fleet green automated guided (AGV) with time windows (HFGVRPTW) applied in workshops flexible manufacturing systems (FMS). Specifically, based on analysis AGV body structure motion state, transport distance energy consumption are selected as two optimization objectives....

In recent years, some phenomena such as the COVID-19 pandemic have caused autonomous vehicle (AV) to attract much attention in theoretical and applied research. This paper addresses optimization problem of a heterogeneous fleet that consists electric vehicles (AEVs) conventional (CVs) Business-to-Consumer (B2C) distribution system. The absence driver AEVs results necessity studying two factors ...

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>The Multi-Product Inventory-Location-Routing Problem with heterogeneous fleet considers a supply chain, which comprises multiple producers, potential distribution centers (DCs) opening capacity levels and geographically scattered retailers each of has deterministic demand over discrete planning horizon. The goal is determining set DCs their to open, assigning ...
