Some of the real life applications are collection of municipal waste (Beltrami et al., 1974), delivery options of interlibrary loan items (Francis et al., 2006), pick-up of raw materials for a manufacturer of automobile
important characteristics of VANET is dynamic topology. In this nodes or vehicles move with high speed in respect to each other. No power constraints and adequate storage -In VANET, we are using vehicles as nodes instead of other devices so vehicles have sufficient amount of energy and power including both processing and storage; so the battery power and storage is not an issue in VANET. Frequent network disconnection-In VANET, vehicles move very frequently on the roads, in the network due to this the link
School bus routing is the process of assigning the buses to pick up the students into a sequences of stops ending with the school. School bus routing problems as a variant of the vehicle routing problems consists with the assignment of the students to bus stops and routing the buses to the bus stops. Also must be fair for each students and must have minimal operational costs. Furthermore, school bus routing must satisfy the demand for services. Examples of demand for services are capacity of school
2.1 Material Handling A material handling does not add to the value of the product as not a production process having a point in favor of materials handling is that it helps production. Therefore, it becomes unavoidable depending on the weight, volume and through put of materials. Nevertheless costs money, therefore a key task to eliminate or reduce it as much as possible. Herewith, some of anticipated mechanical/Mechatronics handling reduces the labor costs of manual handling of materials. Hence
Public Transportation Association (APTA), public transportation has define as a vehicle services that has be designed to transport customers on local and regional routes. The objective of a public transport is to provide good service and affordable to the public. There are various modes of public transportation available in Malaysia. Below are the available modes of public transport in Malaysia. Mode Type of vehicle Land Bus, Taxi, Train Sea Ferry, Cruise, RO-RO Air Aeroplane Table 2.1: Public transport
with walking to a bus stop, then taking a bus to a tram stop where a transit to a tram ride occurs. Subsequently tram travel is made to a location where subsequently walking is required to the final destination. With GIS applications, this type of routing analysis can be done fairly quickly and easily. Given a fair amount of assumptions, such as an average walk speed, it is possible to arrive at a fairly good estimate of travel time. The pedestrian road data informs the portion of the travel which

FedEx affirms the value of the system; “it is a relational database that coordinates FedEx logistics worldwide. In fact, Command and Control is the largest UNIX undertaking in the commercial world. The system uses satellite and computer communications technology to monitor routing and traffic information in real
of concerns that come with this advancement for it impacts our environment greatly in a negative form; the emissions of vehicles not to mention the making of them and the debris that comes off the tires and brake pads that travel into our nearby soil. On a good note, “[t]he industry has undertaken ‘joint efforts’, such as the United States Council for Automotive Research Vehicle Recycling Partnership to develop standards for
ensure an accurate collection, analysis, and relay of road network data. It is important to note that GIS systems can be applied in a variety of places within the road network. However, only three places are discussed in the paper: traffic density, vehicle emissions, and road capacity. GIS technology helps in the collection and dispersion of the necessary traffic information to optimize road usage. GIS is regarded as an advanced technology that integrates other kinds of know-how using geographical data
Manufacturing System is a complex system consisting components like machine equipment tool, material handling system (AGV), storage and retrieval system. Flexible Manufacturing System scheduling problems are more complex, since the jobs are highly interrelated and in addition have multiple job types and alternative routings. Accordingly, an FMS is designed to produce
requires a lot of advanced technology. Since being introduced to the public, the driverless car is always considered a new technology that helps driving vehicle safer. However, the driverless car is not as safe as we normally think. Driverless vehicles, known as artificial intelligence (AI) cars, using data from sensors and cameras around the vehicle to control the movement of the car on the road, depending on the circumstances so that the car can make many different decisions. In fact, driverless cars
Although Knoxville has many dangerous spots transportation wise, I have chosen an intersection in Alcoa in which I have much more knowledge of to discuss. This particular intersection is the US 129 bypass at Louisville Road. I mention that I have previous knowledge of this intersection because I am in fact an employee of this city, and have therefore compiled crash data as well as traffic counts for such. Not only is this intersection dangerous because of high speeds, but there is also a lack
CHAPTER 2 LITERATURE REVIEW This chapter discusses the examples of radiation particles that can be detected. This chapter also elaborates on some of the common radiation sensors that are possible to be used in this research as well as different types of kinematic models of mobile robot. The available developed path planning including the waypoints sweeping pattern and other applicable sensors for mobile robot are also discussed in this chapter. Overview of Ionizing Radiation Radiation is the process
The logistic function is very important for successful business activities. Without logistics the business will not be able to compete business world. The important components of logistics are Transportation, inventory management and warehouse management. The managers need to know the cost identity with the business logistics. To be a successful business and to compete in business market a good manager need to minimize the cost of every activity. The study of the Logistics is very interesting where
Why Is Managing Inbound Logistics Important To An Organization? Inbound logistics relates to the movement of goods or the materials from suppliers and vendors into manufacturing procedures or storeroom facilities. Inbound logistics basically comprises of two functions that are the purchase of materials and the logistics that are the procurement and planning. The management of inbound logistics is important to organizations for two major reasons, one that relates to the organization and the other

A Risk Assessment of FedEx Corporation Abstract Many organizations perform risk assessments to measure the amount of risks that could impact their organization, and identify ways in treating them before a major disaster occurs. Risks involve theoretical effectiveness of security measures, loss of impact, threats and vulnerabilities that are common in today's society. FedEx Corporation follows guidelines and policies that are governed by processes by which the company assesses and manages its
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) can be defined as the "economic, legal, ethical, and discretionary expectations that society has of organizations at a given point in time" (Buchholtz, 2014, p. 32) The basic principles of corporate social responsibility consists of organizations that has the moral, ethical, and philanthropic duties to not only to earn a profit for investors, but they must also comply with the laws and standards set for businesses as well. Today’s CSR requires organizations
networks, anything that communicates with another device (Casey, 7). The final type of computer system is an embedded system, which includes anything that has a computer or a computer chip embedded in it such as a GPS system, mobile devices, and vehicles (Casey, 8). These three different systems all provide different types of information that may be useful to digital investigators. For example, an open system stores data on the hard drive. The data stored can be anything from web searches to incriminating
