Splitting the Zones of Feasibility for a Given Schedule

Flexible manufacturing systems (FMS) such as large industrial printers can be modeled as re-entrant flow-shops with a set of constraints of processing times, setup times and relative due dates. This is a non-deterministic system in which the actual values for these constraints can be different from the ones originally estimated. Therefore, a way...

Evaluation of Time-window Trajectories with respect to Fuel Consumption and Arrival Time

The flight planning process is an extensive and long process to direct and maintain a high level of operations within the airspace. As air traffic demand grows year after year, it's worthwhile to optimise the European air traffic system further. One way of optimising the system, is by creating optimal flight schedules that solve for demand...
