Introduction: Optimization of waste collection systems can reduce waste management costs. In this study, optimization of the waste collection system of district 3 of Yazd municipality of Iran has been investigated using underground containers. Materials and Methods: In this research, after collecting information and performing field inspections, the statistical and raster information obtained ...

Mobile Internet Protocol has been proposed by IETF to support portable IP addresses for mobile devices that often change their network access points to the Internet. In the basic mobile IP protocol, datagrams sent from wired or wireless hosts and destined for the mobile host that is away from home, have to be routed through the home agent. Nevertheless, datagrams sent from mobile hosts to wired...

This paper presents an original method that allows computation of the optimal route of a motor vessel by minimizing its fuel consumption. The proposed method is based on a new and efficient meshing procedure that is used to define a set of possible routes. A consumption prediction tool has been developed in order to estimate the fuel consumption along a given trajectory. The consumption model i...

This paper presents a mathematical methodology for transit route network optimization. The goal is to provide an effective computational tool for the optimization of large-scale transit route networks. The objectives are to minimize transfers and optimize route directness while maximizing service coverage. The formulation of the methodology consists of three parts: (1) representation of transit...

This document describes a home agent-assisted route optimization functionality for the IPv4 Network Mobility Protocol. The function is designed to facilitate optimal routing in cases where all nodes are connected to a single home agent; thus, the use case is route optimization within a single organization or similar entity. The functionality enables the discovery of eligible peer nodes (based o...

Nowadays, the development of „smart cities‟ with a high level of quality of life is becoming a prior challenge to be addressed. In this framework, promoting the model shift towards more reliable, greener and in general more sustainable transportation modes, namely towards a „smart mobility‟ could significantly contribute to achieve this goal. The aim of this paper is to provide users with more ...
