Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), or drones, are an emerging technology with significant market potential. UAVs may lead to substantial cost savings in, for instance, monitoring of difficult‐to‐access infrastructure, spraying fields and performing surveillance in precision agriculture, as well deliveries packages. In some applications, like disaster management, transport medical supplies, environmental monitoring, drones even help save lives. this article, we provide a literature survey on...
With Industry 4.0, a transition from automated and intelligent to digital has been coined.This covers both network plant levels.At the level, manufacturing is based on collaboration of machines, machines with products, humans machines.From application perspective, these features have materialized through additive manufacturing, robotics, twins, virtual augmented reality, tools in creating products services.At supply chain created utilizing Blockchain, Internet Things, e-commerce platforms,...
In spite of extraordinary support programs initiated by the European Union and other national authorities, percentage overall freight traffic moved train is in steady decline. This development has occurred because macroeconomic benefits rail traffic, such as relief overloaded road networks reduced environmental impacts, are counterbalanced severe disadvantages from perspective shipper, e.g., low average delivery speed general lack reliability. Attracting a higher share on requires handling...

This paper considers the problem of assigning flights to airport gates. We examine general case in which an aircraft serving a flight may be assigned different gates for arrival and departure processing optional intermediate parking. Restrictions this assignment include gate closures shadow restrictions, i.e., situation certain assignments cause blocking neighboring The objectives maximization total preference score, minimization number unassigned during overload periods, tows, as well...
Resource-constrained project scheduling with generalised precedence constraints is a very general model applications in areas such as make-to-order production planning. We describe time-oriented branch-and-bound algorithm that uses constraint-propagation techniques which actively exploit the temporal and resource of problem order to reduce search space. Extensive computational experiments systematically generated test problems show solves more optimality than other exact solution procedures...
