Book Synopsis Computer-aided Scheduling and Dispatch in Demand-responsive Transit Services by : David S. Kessler
Download or read book Computer-aided Scheduling and Dispatch in Demand-responsive Transit Services written by David S. Kessler and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 2004 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The scope of this synthesis is to (1) search out useful information on the use of computer-aided scheduling and dispatch (CASD) in demand-responsive transit (DRT) services, (2) develop an amalgamation or compendium of the current knowledge and successful practices used in computerizing the functions necessary to efficiently and effectively operate such DRT services, and (3) report on measures used to resolve specific problems in planning and implementing CASD. The ultimate objective in compiling a considerable storehouse of information is to make this information available to the public transit community. Private and nonprofit organizations that are providing DRT services will similarly benefit from a review of these results.

Book Synopsis Container Terminals and Automated Transport Systems by : Hans-Otto Günther
Download or read book Container Terminals and Automated Transport Systems written by Hans-Otto Günther and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-07-08 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Container transportation is the predominant mode of inter-continental cargo traffic. Since container ships and port terminals involve a huge capital investment and significant daily operating costs, it is of crucial importance to efficiently utilize the internal resources of container terminals and transportation systems. Today there is an ongoing trend to use automated container handling and transportation technology, in particular, in countries with high labour costs. This in turn requires highly sophisticated control strategies in order to meet the desired performance measures. The primary objective of this book is to reflect these recent developments and to present new insights and successful solutions to operational problems of automated container terminals and transportation systems. It comprises reports on the state of the art, applications of quantitative methods, as well as case studies and simulation results. Its contributions are written by leading experts from academia and business. The book addresses practitioners as well as academic researchers in logistics, transportation, and management.
Book Synopsis Real-Time Scheduling Approaches for Vehicle-Based Internal Transport Systems by : T. Le-Anh
Download or read book Real-Time Scheduling Approaches for Vehicle-Based Internal Transport Systems written by T. Le-Anh and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper, we study the problem of scheduling and dispatching vehicles in vehicle-based internal transport systems within warehouses and production facilities. We develop and use two rolling horizon policies to solve real-time vehicle scheduling problems. To solve static instances of scheduling problems, we propose two new heuristics: combined and column-generation heuristics. We solve a real-time scheduling problem by applying a heuristic to dynamically solve a series of static instances under a rolling horizon policy. A rolling horizon can be seen either as a fixed-time interval in which advance information about loads' arrivals is available, or as a fixed number of loads which are known to become available in the near future. We also propose a new look-ahead dynamic assignment algorithm, a different dynamic vehicle-scheduling approach. We evaluate these dynamic scheduling strategies by comparing their performance with that of two of the best online vehicle dispatching rules mentioned in the literature. Experimental results show that the new look-ahead dynamic assignment algorithm and dynamic scheduling approaches consistently outperform vehicle dispatching rules.

Book Synopsis Computer-aided Scheduling and Dispatching System by : Anthony M. Pagano
Download or read book Computer-aided Scheduling and Dispatching System written by Anthony M. Pagano and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using the implementation of a computed-aided scheduling and dispatching (CASD) system in Peoria as a case study, the study documents the insights gained from the evaluation effort and provides recommendations regarding the statewide deployment of such systems. With respect to productivity, vehicle assignment limitations must be eliminated to allow the CASD system to optimize vehicle use. With respect to management: (a) Decision-makers must require well defined and pre-formatted training delivery schedules to be included in implementation; and (b) As CASD systems are implemented state-wide, a user group of managers should meet periodically to exchange information, explain innovations, and discuss issues arising as the systems are used in paratransit operations. With respect to training: (a) Each step of the preferred scheduling and dispatch process must be mapped and linked to the new CASD; (b) A pre-defined and formal training period must precede installation and "live" implementation of CASD; (c) Training and reference manuals must be distributed and prominently placed at each computer terminal; and (d) Managerial training in developing and interpreting report data is the most often cited failure of CASD at the manager's level. Vendor training for this extraordinarily important task should become part of any implementation effort. With respect to Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) and Mobile Data Terminals (MDT) systems: Concurrent implementation of AVL/MDT overcomes the problem of run-posting in that no new personnel need be hired, manifest entries are out of the control of the driver, and no interpretation or data-entry mistakes will be entered into the system; all providing more accuracy and timeliness. With respect to CASD technology in the long-term: (a) Contract administrators must implement fixes to ensure appropriate training is received by site managers to ensure management can access and understand CASD data; (b) Contract managers must ensure that project management support is provided to augment already busy paratransit managers; and (c) The best evaluation of CASD will follow from implementation of AVL and MDT systems. With respect to quality of service: Allowing unrestricted use of vehicles will impact passenger perceptions of on-time rates more favorably. With respect to cost effectiveness: Contract managers must enforce vendor accountability for training, report construction support and software documentation to ensure the potential CASD cost-effectiveness changes.
Book Synopsis Schedule-Based Modeling of Transportation Networks by : Nigel H. M. Wilson
Download or read book Schedule-Based Modeling of Transportation Networks written by Nigel H. M. Wilson and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-10-22 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Schedule-Based Modeling of Transportation Networks: Theory and Applications" follows the book Schedule-Based Dynamic Transit Modeling, published in this series in 2004, recognizing the critical role that schedules play in transportation systems. Conceived for the simulation of transit systems, in the last few years the schedule-based approach has been expanded and applied to operational planning of other transportation schedule services besides mass transit, e.g. freight transport. This innovative approach allows forecasting the evolution over time of the on-board loads on the services and their time-varying performance, using credible user behavioral hypotheses. It opens new frontiers in transportation modeling to support network design, timetable setting, and investigation of congestion effects, as well as the assessment of such new technologies, such as users system information (ITS technologies).
