Abstract: Optimal design of a multi-speed gearbox involves different types of decision variables and objectives. Due to lack of efficient classical optimization techniques, such problems are usually decomposed ...

Abstract: Scheduling of urban transit network can be formulated as an optimization problem of minimizing the overall transfer time (TT) of transferring passengers and initial waiting time (IWT) of the passengers waiting to board a ...

Abstract: The aim of the paper is to present two optimization methodologies applied to a real water distribution system. The first one involves model calibration, while the second addresses the problem of optimal leakage management. ...
