Purpose: Slotting is one of the main operations in warehouse management. It is based on the efficient allocation of slots for stock-keeping units (SKUs). Order picking and slotting represent a high percentage of total logistics costs; therefore, improving these activities leads to significant...

Purpose This study explores how auditors' emotions, specifically negative moods triggered by flight delays, impact auditing quality. Design/methodology/approach Utilizing flight delays during audit assignments as a mood indicator, weather conditions at departure airports serve as an instrumental...

During the recent past, passenger air transport has been recovering from its significant retraction during the Covid-19 pandemic. If the recent significant drop in air traffic due to the pandemic acted as an external mitigating factor to airport traffic congestion in several major airports...

Currently, flight delays are common and they propagate from an originating flight to connecting flights, leading to large disruptions in the overall schedule. These disruptions cause massive economic losses, affect airlines' reputations, waste passengers' time and money, and directly impact the...

In a high-speed railway (HSR) corridor, diverse train services are provided by railway companies. These different trains’ features own various attributes (e.g., departure time, running speed, and fare) being the basis and focus for passengers deciding their travel. Besides, passenger’s...

Since the mid-1980s, the UK’s aviation sector has undergone substantial liberalisation. This was a great success story as far as it went. But two major components have bucked that overall liberalisation trend: airport capacity, and the allocation of take-off and landing slots. These are the...

The role of network in transportation systems has gained significant and increasing relevance in the literature especially focusing on vulnerability and resilience.The structure of a transport system can positively or negatively influence the geographical areas it serves. A disruption of the...

Modern trams usually own passive transit signal priority (TSP) to avoid interruption from traffic signals along the route. The key to TSP depends on the strictly stick to the recommend travel time between intersections. However, the effectiveness of the TSP can be weakened by dwell time...

Planning in public transportation is traditionally done in a sequential process: After the network design process, the lines and their frequencies are planned. When these are fixed, a timetable is determined and based on the timetable, the vehicle and crew schedules are optimized. After each...

We propose a new mixed integer programming based heuristic for computing new benchmark primal solutions for instances of the PESPlib. The PESPlib is a collection of instances for the Periodic Event Scheduling Problem (PESP), comprising periodic timetabling problems inspired by real-world railway...

Der Beitrag zeigt anhand einer typischen Verspätungssituation an einem intermodalen Verkehrsknoten die verkehrlichen und ökonomischen Effekte dieser Verspätung für verschiedene Stakeholder auf (Störfallszenario). Weiterhin wird ein Szenario zur Verbesserung der Verspätungssituation, in dem...
