This comprehensive work explores the research performed inoptimization of the collection bin and in recycle bin location-allocation issues in solidwaste management. Although the collection phase of solid waste management accountsfor a significant proportion of the municipal budget, it has attracted only limitedattention of the researchers. Optimization of the collection bin and recycle bin loca...

In this paper, we define the online localized resource allocation problem, especially relevant for modeling transportation applications. The problem modeling takes into account simultaneously the geographical location of consumers and resources together with their online nondeterministic appearance. We use urban parking management as an illustration of this problem. In fact, urban parking manag...

This paper presents a new mathematical model for location-allocation problem considering uncertain parameter. In real-world cases, demand, distance, traveling time or any parameters in classical models may change over the period of time. So, considering uncertainty yields more flexibility for the results and its applications. In our study, environmental uncertainty is described by discrete scen...

In three experiments, we investigated the influence of two types of language on memory for object location: demonstratives (this, that) and possessives (my, your). Participants first read instructions containing demonstratives/possessives to place objects at different locations, and then had to recall those object locations (following object removal). Experiments 1 and 2 tested contrasting pred...

We studied a logistics network design model composed of plants, warehouses and customers. For designing this integrated model, we had to make two decisions simultaneously; the location of plants and warehouses, and the product distribution from plants to customers through warehouses. We provided a heuristic using the genetic algorithm. The chromosome presents the location of plants and the allo...

The integration of Distributed Energy Resources (DER) in the distribution network has plenty of advantages if their allocation and Penetration Level (PL) are done appropriately. Hence, the challenge of finding the best allocation and PL of DERs in large distribution networks is an important but intricate problem. This paper proposes a novel methodology to simultaneously determine the optimal lo...

This study is aimed at the fact that material allocation and construction progress cannot be intelligently controlled in of prestressed steel structures. An intelligent planning method a material-allocation path for steel-structure construction, based on digital twins (DTs), proposed. Firstly, characteristics process structural are analyzed, five-dimensional integrated DT framework path-plannin...
