A., Mendonça, C. F. X., Araujo, S. A., Landa-Silva, D., Calvi, R. and Santos, A. F.''' '''Abstract:''' The bus driver scheduling problem (BDSP) under study consists in finding a set of duties that covers the bus schedule from a Brazilian public transportation bus company with the objective of minimizing the total cost. A deterministic 2-phase heuristic algorithm is proposed using multiple assignment problems that arise from a model based on a we..." current

Tang''' Consumers around the world were disturbed by the video that showed a passenger was dragged off United’s flight 3411 by at least 3 security guards on April 10, 2017. Influenced by Confucius’ teachings on respect for elders, Asians were particularly upset because this passenger was a 69 year old Asian man. Due to an on-going lawsuit, I shall not comment on the incident that happened. Instead, I would like to propose a plan that can help U..." current

However, carpooling is difficult to promote. People do not carpool for schedule flexibility and trust concerns, and when addressing the first issue by bringing more people to the carpools to increase schedule options, one loses on the trust side because prior acquaint..." current

One of the most challenging RFID applications has to do with the improvement in reliability, scheduling and efficiency of large‐scale transportation infrastructure. As an example, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology in Ultra High Friency （UHF） frequencies (840‐845MHz and..." current

To tackle this particular shortcoming of usual methods, an..." current
