In this talk we introduce several new classes of rich vehicle routing problems which are motivated by a realworld problem arising in supply chain management. The problems are based on a specific 2-echelon distribution system where products come to the depot from different factories by semi-trailers and these semi-trailers are also used for short-haul distribution, i.e. the load from different f...

Semi-trailers have the advantage that maximum load capacity is large. However, there are some problems high driving skill required because it necessary to perform unique steering during turning or backward driving. This paper proposes a path planning and tracking algorithm for autonomous parking of semi-trailers. The planner determines target position in accordance with given environment includ...

The possibilities of creating cluster associations enterprises in the sub-branches Machine Building Industry Zaporizhzhia region by determining clustering potential are considered. engineering industry was assessed using localization coefficients, production per person and specialization industries. According to results assessment machine-building there such five sub-sectors were identified whi...

This paper considers the parcel hub scheduling problem (PHSP) with unequal batch size inbound trailers, which is a combinatorial optimization problem commonly found in a parcel consolidation terminal in the parcel delivery industry (PDI). The problem consists of processing a large number of inbound trailers at a much smaller number of unload docks. The parcels in the inbound trailers must be un...

Brazil is the world’s largest sugarcane producer destined for mills producing alcohol, sugar, and electricity cogeneration. Sugarcane transport to carried out by trucks with trailers tractors semi-trailers, which raw material harvested in field mill. The modal road system of uses this equipment meet continuous demand harveste draw material, punctuality execution generating a minimum cost. This ...
