The need for airports to optimise space and the need for airlines to bring down their operating costs favours the use of self-service technologies in services provided to passengers and at check-in, specifically. Checking in online and at kiosks in the airport is gaining ground on the use of the airline check-in desk. The objective of this paper is to analyse the socio-demographic factors or flight characteristics that influence a passenger’s choice of check-in from the various options available. For this a multinomial logit is used and applied to an extensive sample of almost 20,000 passengers, of whom 43% were foreigners, at five Spanish airports. The factors that determine the choice of check-in mode include the passenger’s age and level of education, the reason for making the journey, waiting time and the type of airline. The universal use of the new technologies in airport management, and the broad cosmopolitan sample mean that the conclusions can be easily extrapolated to other airport systems. 相似文献

Proportionate progress: A notion of fairness in resource allocation 总被引:27,自引:0,他引:27
Given a set ofn tasks andm resources, where each taskx has a rational weightx.w=x.e/x.p,0<1, aperiodic schedule is one that allocates a resource to a taskx for exactlyx.e time units in each interval [x.p·k, x.p·(k+1)) for allkN. We define a notion of proportionate progress, called P-fairness, and use it to design an efficient algorithm which solves the periodic scheduling problem.This research was supported by NSF Research Initiation Award CCR-9111591, and the Texas Advanced Research Program under Grant No. 91-003658-480. 相似文献

In this paper, we extend job scheduling models to include aspects of history-dependent scheduling, where setup times for a job are affected by the aggregate activities of all predecessors of that job. Traditional approaches to machine scheduling typically address objectives and constraints that govern the relative sequence of jobs being executed using available resources. This paper optimises the operations of multiple unrelated resources to address sequential and history-dependent job scheduling constraints along with time window restrictions. We denote this consolidated problem as the general precedence scheduling problem (GPSP). We present several applications of the GPSP and show that many problems in the literature can be represented as special cases of history-dependent scheduling. We design new ways to model this class of problems and then proceed to formulate it as an integer program. We develop specialized algorithms to solve such problems. An extensive computational analysis over a diverse family of problem data instances demonstrates the efficacy of the novel approaches and algorithms introduced in this paper. 相似文献

Controller Area Network (CAN) schedulability analysis: Refuted,revisited and revised 总被引:1,自引:3,他引:1
Controller Area Network (CAN) is used extensively in automotive applications, with in excess of 400 million CAN enabled microcontrollers
manufactured each year. In 1994 schedulability analysis was developed for CAN, showing how worst-case response times of CAN
messages could be calculated and hence guarantees provided that message response times would not exceed their deadlines. This
seminal research has been cited in over 200 subsequent papers and transferred to industry in the form of commercial CAN schedulability
analysis tools. These tools have been used by a large number of major automotive manufacturers in the design of in-vehicle
networks for a wide range of cars, millions of which have been manufactured during the last decade.
This paper shows that the original schedulability analysis given for CAN messages is flawed. It may provide guarantees for
messages that will in fact miss their deadlines in the worst-case. This paper provides revised analysis resolving the problems
with the original approach. Further, it highlights that the priority assignment policy, previously claimed to be optimal for
CAN, is not in fact optimal and cites a method of obtaining an optimal priority ordering that is applicable to CAN. The paper
discusses the possible impact on commercial CAN systems designed and developed using flawed schedulability analysis and makes
recommendations for the revision of CAN schedulability analysis tools.

In many practical scheduling problems, the concerns of the decision-maker may not be all known in advance and therefore may not be included in the initial problem definition as an objective function and/or as constraints. In such a case, the usual techniques of multi-objective optimization become inapplicable. To cope with this problem and to facilitate handling the concerns of the decision-maker, which can be implicit or qualitative, a dedicated methodological framework is needed. In this paper we propose a new two-step framework. First, we aim at obtaining a set of schedules that can be considered efficient with respect to a performance measure and at the same time different enough from one another to enable flexibility in the final choice. We formalize this new problem and suggest to address it with a multimodal optimization approach. Niching considerations are discussed for common scheduling problems. Through the flexibility induced with this approach, the additional considerations can be taken into account in a second step, which allows decision-makers to select an appropriate schedule among a set of sound schedules (in contrast to common optimization approaches, where usually a single solution is obtained and it is final). The proposed two-step approach can be used to handle a wide range of underlying scheduling problems. To show its potential and benefits we illustrate the framework on a set of hybrid flow shop instances that have been previously studied in the literature. We develop a multimodal genetic algorithm that employs an adapted version of the restricted tournament selection for niching purposes in the first step. The second step takes into account additional concerns of the decision-maker related to the ability of the schedules to absorb the negative effects due to random machine breakdowns. Our computational experiments indicate that the proposed framework is capable of generating numerous high-performance (mostly optimal) schedules. Additionally, our computational results demonstrate that the proposed framework provides the decision-maker a high flexibility in dealing with subsequent side concerns, since there are drastic differences in the capabilities of the efficient solutions found in Step 1 to absorb the negative impacts of machine breakdowns. 相似文献

The research objective is to develop models and algorithms to provide quality solutions for large-scale service design problems. Service design problems arising at railroads, airlines, trucking firms, intermodal partnerships, etc. require the determination of the cost minimizing or profit maximizing set of services and their schedules, given limited resources and service requirements. The model is applied to a large express shipment transportation problem involving over 1.3 billion decision variables and 200,000 constraints. We develop a new model and solution approach — branch-and-price-and-cut. Computational results show that near optimal solution is achieved within a reasonable run time using novel problem reduction methods involving node consolidation, link consolidation, derived schedules and a branch-and-price-and-cut solution procedure. 相似文献

Air traffic congestions for processing relief cargos under post-disaster relief scenarios are common, due to high transport demands within a short time. To enhance the resilience of relief operations at airport, an optimization problem of relief air cargo transportations involving aircraft sequencing and loading/unloading within a designated hangar is studied in this paper. The objective is minimizing the tardiness in fulfilling inbound and outbound relief cargos. A mixed-integer linear programming model is formulated, which incorporates aircraft sequencing and hangar parking planning. To resolve the practical problem efficiently, we propose a two-stage optimization approach, which reduces complexity in solving the original model by coordinating the decisions of aircraft landing and take-off schedule and cargo hangar parking arrangement through iterations. The efficiency of the proposed method is examined through the computational results. High-quality solutions can be obtained by the two-stage optimization method within a reasonable time for practical implementation, which enhances the responsiveness and resource utilization of airport operations management under disaster relief situations. 相似文献

Cyclic routing algorithms in graphs: Performance analysis and applications to robot scheduling 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Vladimir Kats 《Computers & Industrial Engineering》2011,61(2):279-288
In this paper we revisit and extend the algorithm for the cyclic project scheduling problem which was originally proposed by Romanovskii (1967). While the algorithm has been derived for fixed numerical data, we show how it can be extended to handle the problems with interval data. We also propose a new algorithm for the cyclic scheduling problem with interval data that extends the parametric method developed by Megiddo (1979) and runs in strongly polynomial time. 相似文献

Several extensions of the two-machine flowshop model that arise in industrial applications are considered. These modifications of the classical case concern buffer capacities that vary with the size of the part, and processing times that are variable and increase in situations of overlapping and long waiting periods between the different operations. 相似文献

The term ‘agile manufacturing’ has referred to operational aspects of a manufacturing company concerning their ability to produce customized products at mass production prices and with short lead times. A core issue faced within agile manufacturing is the need for appropriate and supporting production and operations systems. Many design dimensions of agility and agile manufacturing exist. To help attain this goal for integrating the many design dimensions, operations infrastructure and capacity must be carefully planned to manage production flow, and thus production layout planning takes on an increasingly important role. Given the importance of these dimensions in response to agility, this paper seeks to make a contribution by providing insights into a decision aid for evaluating production flow layouts that support and enhance the agile manufacture of products. Layout design has a significant impact on the performance of a manufacturing or service industry system and has been an active research area for many decades. Strategic evaluation of production layouts requires consideration of both qualitative and quantitative factors (managerial, organizational, and technical). This paper makes use of the Analytical Network Process (ANP) which captures interdependencies among different criteria, sub-criteria and dimensions, an evident characteristic of production flow layouts in complex agile manufacturing environments. An application case study exemplifying the practical usefulness of this type of model describes how management, after implementation of the model, made a mid-course correction related to the production layout initially selected. 相似文献

The primary objective in a typical hierarchical facility location problem is to determine the location of facilities in a multi-level network in a way to serve the customers at the lowest level of hierarchy both efficiently (cost minimization objective) and effectively (service availability maximization objective). This paper presents a comprehensive review of over 40 years of hierarchical facility location modeling efforts. Published models are classified based on multiple characteristics including the type of flow pattern, service availability, spatial configuration, objective function, coverage, network levels, time element, parameters, facilities, capacity, and real world application. A second classification is also presented on the basis of solution methods adopted to solve various hierarchical facility location problems. The paper finally identifies the gaps in the current literature and suggests directions for future modeling efforts. 相似文献

High-speed rail (HSR) has become an essential mode of public transportation in China and is likely to remain so for the foreseeable future. To promote the development of the HSR industry, a high level of passenger satisfaction must be ensured, which means that passenger satisfaction must be assured. Focusing on HSR in-cabin factors that affect the travel experience of HSR passengers, this study aims to determine passenger demands (PDs) and to evaluate passenger satisfaction by using a combination of online review analysis and large-scale group decision-making (LSGDM). By using web crawler technology, online reviews related to HSR were harvested from a microblogging platform to extract PD data and information. The six PDs that reflect the most frequent concerns of passengers were identified by analyzing the online reviews. The level of satisfaction of passengers with respect to these PDs was analyzed based on the online responses from 100 HSR passengers and by adopting the interval-valued two-tuple linguistic representation model. The final degrees of satisfaction and rankings of the PDs were then determined by using the LSGDM approach with the k-means clustering method and a consensus-reaching process. This research thus constructs an index system of HSR passenger satisfaction evaluation based on online-review analysis and evaluates the process by using LSGDM approaches. The conclusions provide insights into the improvements desired by HSR passengers for in-cabin services and to improve passenger satisfaction. 相似文献
