NEW VERSION OF THE BBS METHOD AND ITS USAGE FOR DETERMINING AND SCHEDULING VEHICLE ROUTES
Journal Title: Archives of Transport - Year 2014, Vol 31, Issue 3
Abstract
The work presents a method of the vehicle routing and scheduling using the modified Branch and Bound Simulation method for vehicles simultaneously carrying loads from multiple orders. Limitations concerning vehicle loads and time windows in pickup and delivery points are taken into consideration. The developed algorithm appoints the shortest, the fastest and the cheapest routes with a certain known accuracy. A modification of the BBS method is described A sample of result using Google API is shown.<br/><br/>

INDIRECT OBSERVATION OF REROUTING PHENOMENA IN TRAFFIC NETWORKS – CASE STUDY OF WARSAW BRIDGES
In this paper we propose estimation procedure in which traffic flows resulting from rerouting model are matched with traffic flows observed during unexpected events. We show practical value of observing a entire cut-set...
Optimisation of polynomial railway transition curves of even degrees
This paper represents new results obtained by its authors while searching for the proper shape of polynomial railway transition curves (TCs). The search for the proper shape means the evaluation of the curve properties b...
