The determination of the optimal carrying capacity procurement of rail and shipping services in the automobile intermodal network with unique characteristics is essential to save automobile delivery cost. In this research we develop a two-stage stochastic programming model for the tactical-level decision problem arising in the special automobile intermodal network. Furthermore, we improve the s...

Today, planning and control of logistic processes on automobile terminals are generally executed by centralised logistics systems, which in many cases cannot cope with the high requirements for flexible order processing due to increasing dynamics and complexity. The main business processes on automobile terminals – notification of vehicles by automobile manufacturer, transport to automobile ter...

The Tricked-Out Virtual Body Shop is an extrapolation of engineering curriculum design activities that have successfully engaged African-American students. Declining enrollment among underrepresented African-American students in STEM may be related to negative perceptions of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). This concept is designed to directly engage students in constru...
