Abstract Electric buses (eBuses) will be the mainstream in mass urban transportation near future. Thus, installing charging infrastructure convenient locations play a critical role transition to eBuses. Taking this into account, paper we propose an iterated local search algorithm optimize location of stations while satisfying certain properties system, e.g., demand and ensuring that limited dri...

  This paper deals with minimization of tardiness in single machine scheduling problem when each job has two different due-dates i.e. ordinary due-date and drop dead date. The drop dead date is the date in which jobs’ weights rise sharply or the customer cancels the order. A linear programming formulation is developed for the problem and since the problem is known to be NP-hard, three heuristic...

The strategy method is becoming an important tool in experimental methodology. This study examines how well this method works in an individual decision experiment. Subjects are faced with a sequential search problem. After extensive practice in solving the problem and formulating strategies, they play 20 periods for money. In each period the subjects ®rst make decisions by hand, after that thei...
