A low-cost test rig for impact experiments on a dummy head
( Elsevier Ltd , 2019 , Article)Anthropomorphic test dummies are commonly used to evaluate the potential harm to humans due to dangerous scenarios, such as that due to car accidents. Furthermore, they have been used in sports to evaluate the efficacy of ... -
A matheuristic for the asymmetric capacitated vehicle routing problem
( Elsevier B.V. , 2018 , Article)In this paper, we propose a novel matheuristic for the Asymmetric Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (ACVRP). This optimization-based approach combines some heuristic concepts with compact mixed-integer linear programming ... -
A matheuristic for the robust integrated airline fleet assignment, aircraft routing, and crew pairing problem
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)We address an integrated airline scheduling problem that combines three airline planning processes: fleet assignment, aircraft routing, and crew pairing. For a given daily flight schedule, the problem requires simultaneously ... -
A memetic algorithm for the bi-objective quadratic assignment problem
( Elsevier B.V. , 2019 , Conference Paper)Recently, multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) have been extensively used to solve multi-objective optimization problems (MOPs) since they have the ability to approximate a set of non-dominated solutions in ... -
A Method for 3-D Printing Patient-Specific Prosthetic Arms with High Accuracy Shape and Size
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2018 , Article)Limb amputation creates serious emotional and functional damage to the one who lost a limb. For some upper limb prosthesis users, comfort and appearance are among the desired features. The objective of this paper is to ... -
A Methodology for daylight optimisation of high-rise buildings in the dense urban district using overhang length and glazing type variables with surrogate modelling
( Institute of Physics Publishing , 2019 , Conference Paper)Urbanization and population growth lead to the construction of higher buildings in the 21st century. This causes an increment on energy consumption as the amount of constructed floor areas is rising steadily. Integrating ... -
A mixed model-based Johnson's relative weights for eco-efficiency assessment: The case for global food consumption
( Elsevier Inc. , 2021 , Article)Eco-efficiency composite indicators are widely accepted as the ratio of environmental impact to created economic value. These indicators are realistic measures for assessing sustainability performance considering the economy ... -
A model and optimization-based heuristic for the operational aircraft maintenance routing problem
( Elsevier Ltd , 2016 , Article)This paper investigates the Operational Aircraft Maintenance Routing Problem (OAMRP). Given a set of flights for a specific homogeneous fleet type, this short-term planning problem requires building feasible aircraft routes ... -
A model for capacitated green vehicle routing problem with the time-varying vehicle speed and soft time windows
( Elsevier Ltd , 2019 , Article)This paper investigates the capacitated green vehicle routing problem (GVRP) with time-varying vehicle speed and soft time windows. The GVRP is developed as a multi-objective mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) ... -
A model for enhancing robustness of aircraft and passenger connections
( Elsevier , 2013 , Article)Airlines schedules are often subject to various uncontrollable factors that cause disruptions and delays. These delays not only constitute, for many passengers, the painful part of air travel, but also represent for airlines ... -
A model for estimating the carbon footprint of maritime transportation of Liquefied Natural Gas under uncertainty
( Elsevier B.V. , 2021 , Article)The demand for Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) in the global markets has changed significantly. As a result, industries have been forced to consider investing significantly in supply chains to achieve an efficient distribution ... -
A model for planning locations of temporary distribution facilities for emergency response
( Elsevier , 2015 , Article)We propose a network flow model for dynamic selection of temporary distribution facilities and allocation of resources for emergency response planning. The model analyzes the transfer of excess resources between temporary ... -
A model to evaluate acquisition price and quantity of used products for remanufacturing
( Elsevier , 2012 , Article)In this paper, an analytical model is proposed to evaluate optimal acquisition price and quantity policy based on the quality of returned used products that are subsequently used for remanufacturing. The model is developed ... -
A Multi-echelon Network Distribution Model For Emergency Resource Planning
( Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press) , 2014 , Conference Paper)Resource planning in emergency management is a challenging task as it involves disaster situations where the demands are rapidly increasing and the resources are scarce. Conventional planning involves a centralized network ... -
