Rapid urbanisation results in the emergence of in-city villages in many developing countries. The lack of public transit access has been a long-standing problem for the residents in such villages. Here we develop a new mathematical model for adding stops onto the existing transit routes passing...

This paper analyses the mechanism of how development of producer services improves the productivity of manufacturing through mathematical model. We argue that as an advanced input of manufacturing, producer services not only improve their own efficiency, but also reduce the unit producer cost of...

This paper proposes a model which analyses the role of technological innovation in the competitiveness and efficiency of the payment system industry. The performance of this industry is described through the use of a mathematical model and the strategies of platforms are analysed considering the...

Logistics is no longer seen as tactical and cost-driven – it is strategic. Considering the driver-on-time rules and with the perishable nature of the products, the travel length/time is one of the critical constraints in distribution logistics. We consider a typical logistics problem with...
