Route plan scheduling for automated guided vehicles at container terminals

Heavy competition between container terminals and the increasing volume of world-wide container shipment force container terminals to continuously increase productivity and reduce costs. An important condition for optimal operation of container terminals is that Quay Cranes (QCs) maximize their productive time, which requires a minimal lateness...

Robust scheduling in an uncertain environment

This thesis presents research on scheduling in an uncertain environment, which forms a part of the rolling stock life cycle logistics applied research and development program funded by Dutch railway industry companies. The focus therefore lies on scheduling of maintenance operations on rolling stock in the railway industry. The first chapter...

The challenges in scheduling multiple collaborative design projects in the front-end phases

In large engineering organizations, multiple projects run in parallel, and their progress is controlled through scheduling. Schedulers often go through the cycles of scheduling: making schedules, executing them, monitoring the status, receiving changes in decisions, and updating schedules again. The schedules easily mismatch with how the...

Maximizing operational readiness in defense aviation by optimization of flight and maintenance planning

The primary objective of a defense aviation operator or air force, is to maximize its continued readiness to successfully perform military flight operations, whenever and wherever the home state or international community calls for it. In order to maintain a satisfactory level of operational readiness, air forces need to ensure that sufficient...

A Scenario State Representation for Scheduling Deferrable Loads under Wind Uncertainty

Integration of renewable energy in power systems is a potential source of uncertainty, because renewable generation is variable and may depend on changing and highly uncertain weather conditions. In this paper we present and evaluate a new method to schedule power-demanding tasks with release times and deadlines under uncertainty, in order to...
