Download or read book Hybrid Simulation Analytic Models for Military Supply Chain Performance Analysis written by and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research is intended to extend the knowledge base concerning logistical network modeling and design. Basic research techniques were developed to begin to model logistical networks within a hybrid simulation/analytic framework. The first step in this process is to develop robust approximations for portions of large-scale simulation models. This research examined the novel idea of utilizing neural networks as a meta-modeling technique to replace specific aspects of a simulation. This work started with the replacement of queueing stations within a logistics network. Any logistics network can be formulated as a network of material flowing through processes requiring resources. A new methodology was developed for forming approximations and improved approximators for queueing stations within a logistics network. The motivation for developing this approximation is the integration of such approximation in hybrid simulation/analytic methods for evaluating logistic networks. Future work should investigate the performance of these approximations within the larger logistical network context.

Download or read book Approaches to Enhance the Performance of Simheuristic Methods in the Optimisation of Multi echelon Logistics Distribution Networks written by Majsa Ammouriova and published by Cuvillier Verlag. This book was released on 2021 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Management of logistics distribution networks is a challenging task. Decision-makers rely on logistics assistance systems that recommend actions to optimise the networks. These systems can be based on simheuristics to benefit from metaheuristics in exploring possible solutions and on simulation for modelling the networks. This book presents three approaches to recommend promising solutions to optimise the networks with fewer simulation runs. The first approach utilises information from the network to guide the search of metaheuristics. In this approach, domain-specific information is defined and assigned to actions. The metaheuristic algorithm utilises this domain-specific information to find more-promising solutions. The second approach is reducing the number of possible solutions by grouping actions with respect to their domain-specific attributes. Here, the smaller solution space decreases the number of required simulation runs. The last approach looks for equivalent solutions that cause the same changes in the network. This approach aims to skip unnecessary evaluations and, thus, simulation effort.

Download or read book Urban Freight Analytics written by Eiichi Taniguchi and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2023-09-14 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urban Freight Analytics examines the key concepts associated with the development and application of decision support tools for evaluating and implementing city logistics solutions. New analytical methods are required for effectively planning and operating emerging technologies including the Internet of Things (IoT), Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), and Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS). The book provides a comprehensive study of modelling and evaluation approaches to urban freight transport. It includes case studies from Japan, the US, Europe, and Australia that illustrate the experiences of cities that have already implemented city logistics, including analytical methods that address the complex issues associated with adopting advanced technologies such as autonomous vehicles and drones in urban freight transport. Also considered are future directions in urban freight analytics, including hyperconnected city logistics based on the Physical Internet (PI), digital twins, gamification, and emerging technologies such as connected and autonomous vehicles in urban areas. An integrated modelling platform is described that considers multiple stakeholders or agents, including emerging organisations such as PI companies and entities such as crowd-shippers as well as traditional stakeholders such as shippers, receivers, carriers, administrators, and residents. This book Presents procedures for evaluating city logistics technologies and policy measures Provides an overview of advanced modelling approaches, including agent-based model and machine learning Highlights the essential features of optimisation and simulation models applied to city logistics Discusses how models incorporating more uncertainty and dynamic data can be used to improve the sustainability and resilience of urban freight systems The book is ideal for graduate students in civil and environmental engineering and logistics management, urban planners, transport engineers, and logistics specialists.

Through detailed descriptions of various components of intelligent transport management systems, the book demonstrates how to develop the services needed in the right place and at the right time, and how to properly adapt to user needs, making necessary interventions to ensure the safety of the transportation process. Further, it describes the main ways to increase the autonomy and efficiency of user-vehicle interaction and shows how Information and Communications Technology (ICT) structural support for current and past situations in AI-based systems can help to anticipate future developments in freight transportation.

Download or read book Sustainable Logistics Systems Using AI based Meta Heuristics Approaches written by Jiuping Xu and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-12-22 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces and analyses recent trends and studies of sustainable logistics systems using AI-based meta-heuristics approaches, including AI-based meta-heuristics applied to supply chain network models, integrated multi-criteria decision-making approaches for green supply chain management, uncertain supply chain models etc. It emphasizes both theory and practice, providing methodological and theoretical basis as well as case references for sustainable logistics systems using AI based meta-heuristics. Most of multi-national enterprises today face the challenge of sustainable development for their logistics systems trying to meet or exceed customer expectations. Sustainable development attracts both researchers and industrial practitioners who are focused on the design and implementation of logistics system. AI-based meta-heuristics approaches has emerged as a capable method for quickly providing optimal or near-optimal solutions for the problems that exact optimization cannot solve. Recent advances in various AI-based meta-heuristics approaches can resolve various and complex logistics and supply chain problem types. This book mainly encompasses the most popular and frequently employed AI-based meta-heuristics approaches such as genetic algorithm, variable neighborhood search, multi-objective heuristic search and the hybrid of these approaches. The chapters in this book were originally published in the International Journal of Management Science and Engineering Management.
