The vehicle routing problem with time-varying speed(VRPTVS) is difficult to handle with regular problem solving approaches. An approach by partitioning the service zone into three sub-zones to reduce computing time and vehicle traveling distance is suggested in this paper. To develop a partitioning algorithm for VRPTVS, all customer locations are divided into two sections such as morning zone and evening zone, excluding daytime zone. And then each service zone is calculated to find a possible number of delivery points and chosen by time window having more number of possible delivery points by considering customer location and varying speeds. A temporary complete route that can serve all target points is developed by this procedure and a pairwise exchange method is applied to reduce the traveling time.

Vehicle routing problem with time windows is determined each vehicle route in order to minimize the transportation costs. All delivery points in geography have various time restriction in camparision with the basic vehicle routing problem. Vechicle routing problem with time windows is known to be NP-hard, and it needs a lot of computing time to get the optimal solution, so that heuristics are more frequently developed than optimal algorithms. This study aims to develop a heuristic method which combines guided local search with a tabu search in order to minimize the transportation costs for the vehicle routing assignment and uses ILOG programming library to solve. The computational tests were performed using the benchmark problems.

In order to determine home delivery service routes, conditions specified for each parcel such as customer-assigned delivery times and parcel contents should be considered, so the conventional route search algorithms have some limits to be applied for home delivery services. In this study, a multi-purpose route searching algorithm is suggested in order to deal with every requirement of deliveries that vary in delivery distances, contents and appointed times. A simulation study to verify the performances of the system with example data of Seoul and Kyungki provinces shows that it significantly improves the customer satisfaction and the productivity of delivery businesses.

교통혼잡 문제가 점점 심각해짐에 따라 대중교통의 중요성은 날로 부각되며, 대중교통을 지원하기 위한 정책들이 속속 입안되고 있어 대중교통을 심도 있게 분석할 수 있는 틀의 개발은 필연적이라 할 수 있다. 이에 본 연구는 대중교통 통행배정모형 개발과 대중교통 기종점통행량(OD) 추정을 목적으로 수행되었다. 대중교통 통행배정모형의 개발부분에서는 기존의 대중교통 통행배정모형이 개별차량과 다른 대중교통의 특성을 정확히 반영하고 있지 못하다는 한계를 극복하고자, 최적경로 탐색에는 유전자 알고리즘(Genetic Algorithm)을 통행량 배정에는 로짓모형을 기반으로 한 확률적 통행량 배정모형(Stochastic Network Loading Model)을 이용하여 TATSN 모형을 개발하였다. 그리고, 대중교통 기종점통행량의 추정은 전통적인 기종점통행량 추정 방법인 기종점조사 방법이 시간과 비용이 과대하게 소요된다는 단점을 인식하여 관측통행량을 이용하여 추정하는 방법을 제안하였다.

최근 지능형 교통 시스템 (ITS) 에 대한 관심이 증가함에 따라 ITS 응용을 지원해 줄 수 있는 차량 에드혹 네트워크 (VANET, Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network) 기술이 주요 이슈로 대두되고 있다. 특히 트랜스포트 계층에서는 종단간 신뢰성이 요구되는 ITS 응용들을 지원하기 위해 TCP를 적용할 필요가 있다. 하지만 VANET 환경에서 TCP는 혼잡 제어 기능의 오동작, 이동성에 의한 경로 재설정 오버헤드, 경쟁(contention) 등으로 인해 throughput을 불필요하게 감소시킬 수 있다. 따라서 VANET 환경에서 TCP 성능을 향상시킬 수 있는 다양한 기법들에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 기법들을 크게 혼잡 탐색 기법, cross-layer 기법으로 나누어 대표적인 두 가지 기법들을 각각 비교, 분석한다.

This paper suggests an algorithm that can shorten the complexity $O(n^2)$ of Dijkstra algorithm that is applied to the shortest path searching in real-time GPS Navigation System into an up-to-date O(n). Dijkstra algorithm manipulates the distance of the minimum length path by visiting all the nodes from the starting node. Hence, it has one disadvantage of not being able to provide the information on the shortest path every second, in a city that consists of sophisticated roads, since it has to execute number of node minus 1. The suggested algorithm, firstly, runs by means of organizing the set of out-neighbourhood nodes at each level of the tree, and root node for departure node. It also uses a method of manipulating the distance of the minimum path of all out-neighborhoods and interior of the out-neighborhoods. On applying the suggested algorithm to two sophisticated graphs consisted of bi-direction and uni-direction, we have succeeded to obtain the distance of the minimum length path, just as same as Dijkstra algorithm. In addition, it has an effect of shortening the time taken 4 times from number of node minus1 to number of level minus 1. The satisfaction of the drivers can be increased by providing the information on shortest path of detour, every second, when occurs any rush hour or any traffic congestion due to car accident, by applying this suggested algorithm to the real-time GPS system.

We consider a vehicle routing problem with time window and dock capacity constraints (VRPTD). In most traditional models of vehicle routing problems with time window (VRPTW), each customer must be assigned to only one vehicle route. However demand of a customer may exceed the capacity of one vehicle, hence at least two vehicles may need to visit the customer We assume that each customer has Its own dock capacity. Hence, the customer can be served by only a limited number of vehicles simultaneously. Given a depot, customers, their demands, their time windows and dock capacities, VRPTD is to get a set of feasible routes which pass the depot and some customers such that all demands of each customer are satisfied Since VRPTD is NP-hard, a meta-heuristic algorithm is developed. The algorithm consists of two Procedures : the route construction procedure and the route scheduling procedure. We tested the algorithm on a number of instances and computational results are reported.

In these days, public transportation has become important because of serious traffic congestion. But. there are few researches in public transportation compared with researches in auto. Accordingly, the purpose of paper is development of transit assignment model, which considers features of public transportation, time table, transfer capacity of vehicle, common line, etc. The transit assignment model developed in this paper is composed of two parts. One part is search for optimum path, the other part is network loading. A Genetic algorithm has been developed in order to search for alternative shortest path set. After the shortest paths have been obtained in the genetic algorithm, Logit-base stochastic loading model has been used to obtain the assigned volumes.

Recently unstable weather condition has been going on then the damage by heavy rains, typhoons and stream flooding has been increasing continuously. In particular, the urban damage by flooding of rivers or roads has been occurred frequently. It could block all the transportation facilities within cities for restricting traffic. In this study, we suggest the method of utilization of the information about event and accident on roads through the real-time traffic information to cope with dangerous situation of roads.

An efficient vehicle routing heuristic for different vehicle moving times for forward and backward between two points is studied in this research. Symmetric distance or moving times are assumed to move back and forth between two points in general, but it is not true in reality. Also, various moving speeds along time zones are considered such as the moving time differences between rush hours or not busy daytimes. To solve this type of extremely complicated combinatorial optimization problems, delivery zones are specified and delivery orders are determined for promising results on the first stage. Then delivery orders in each zone are determined to be connected with other zones for a tentative complete delivery route. Improvement steps are followed to get an effective delivery route for unsymmetric-time-varing vehicle moving speed problems. Performance evaluations are done to show the effectiveness of the suggested heuristic using computer programs specially designed and developed using C++.
