Abstract: This paper formulates the cordon pricing design problem with elastic demand as a mathematical program with complementarity constraints (MPCC) to simultaneously optimize the cordon locations and cordon-specific toll levels, ...

Abstract: The controlling path and controlling segment are the basis for repetitive project scheduling. In this paper the controlling path is defined as the longest path in duration that determines the minimum project duration, ...

Abstract: Accurate short-term traffic flow prediction is essential for real-time traffic control. A linear hybrid method and a nonlinear hybrid method for short-term traffic flow prediction are proposed with vehicle type as one ...

Abstract: Construction projects often face various uncertainties during their execution. Even if planned project schedules are optimal with respect to time or cost, their implementation may be affected by these uncertainties, resulting ...

Abstract: Repetitive projects represent a significant proportion of the construction industry. Effectively reducing carbon emissions from such projects plays an important role in mitigating climate change. This study employs the ...

Abstract: The discrete time-cost trade-off problem (DTCTP) is a multiobjective problem usually encountered in practical projects. Current optimization methods for this problem in repetitive construction projects often assume that ...

Abstract: Considering the learning effect while planning and scheduling repetitive construction projects can help provide a realistic forecast of their duration and resource requirements. This paper has developed an improved learning ...

Abstract: Although the repetitive scheduling method (RSM) is more visual and straightforward and is easier to use, the network model is more commonly accepted by both owners and contractors as a means for modeling repetitive projects. ...

Abstract: The discrete time-cost trade-off problem (DTCTP) is a multiobjective problem usually encountered in practical projects. Current optimization methods for this problem in repetitive construction projects often assume that ...

Abstract: This study investigates the deadline satisfaction problem in line-of-balance (LOB) scheduling, where each activity can be done concurrently in several units by hiring additional crews, and all employed crews are allocated ...
