Data on mileage driven and loads delivered were collected from a log trucking firm hauling for 5 loggers to 9 consuming mills. Routes were assigned by a supervisory person and were not optimized. On average over the week of testing, the schedule achieved a loaded mileage proportion of 57%. A route optimization system was also used to assign delivery schedules and it achieved a loaded mileage pr...

This paper reviews the design and validation of a novel bearing test rig developed at the KU Leuven. The test rig allows multi-axial static and dynamic loading of a rolling element bearing. Different types and sizes of bearings can be mounted and loaded as if built into a real machine. The test rig will be used to analyse the effect of external dynamic loads on the lifetime of these bearings. T...

We consider the ship planning problem at maritime container terminals where containers are loaded onto and discharged from ships using quay cranes. The container transport between the ships and the yard positions in the terminal is carried out by a fleet of straddle carriers. Based on a stowage plan provided by the shipping company, the dispatcher assigns containers to specified bay positions. ...

The topological structure in vehicular communication networks presents challenges for sustaining network connectivity on the road. Highway dynamics, example, encourage need an adaptive and flexible to handle rapid events of vehicles joining leaving Such demand aligns with advancement made software-defined related dynamic re-orchestration. This paper discusses development a virtual model that re...

In this paper, we propose five data fusion schemes for the Internet of Things (IoT) scenario,which are Relief and Perceptron (Re-P), Relief and Genetic Algorithm Particle Swarm Optimization (Re-GAPSO), Genetic Algorithm and Artificial Neural Network (GA-ANN), Rough and Perceptron (Ro-P)and Rough and GAPSO (Ro-GAPSO). All the schemes consist of four stages, including preprocessingthe data set ba...

An output-based dynamic order re nement strategy is presented for unsteady simulations using the discontinuous Galerkin nite element method in space and time. A discrete unsteady adjoint solution provides scalar output error estimates and drives adaptive re nement of the space-time mesh. Space-time anisotropy is measured using projection of the adjoint onto semi-re ned spaces and is used to all...
