Energy consumption is the key design criterion for routing data in wireless sensor network. However, some applications of wireless sensor network like disaster management, battlefield control etc. demand fast data delivery. In this paper, a data forwarding technique is proposed and its...

In recent years it is witnessed that the Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) are becoming the most promising technology as they offer low cost broadband wireless connectivity, larger coverage area, high flexibility and easy deployment. WMNs are an extension of existing wireless networks. WMN is an...

For attended home deliveries, customers expect narrow delivery time slots that fit their personal schedules. This severely limits the solution space for delivery planning and thereby makes attended home deliveries costly and complex for retailers. As one remedy, dynamic slotting lets the firm...

In research and practice, public transportation planning is executed in a series of steps, which are often divided into the strategic, the tactical, and the operational planning phase. Timetables are normally designed in the tactical phase, taking into account a given line plan, safety...

This paper estimates profit margins in the U.S. airline industry at the domestic route level. The dynamic estimation methodology used not only is robust to any simultaneity/endogeneity bias by construction but also results in profit margin estimates that are highly consistent with actual profit...

Presently, dispatch control successfully applies the supply of train traffic to technical stations, regulating the order of passing transit trains and trains to be checked and made up. This procedure is also used for the jogging sections, regulating the supply of trains to the banking...

In modern supply chains, customers expect a high level of service, which results in short delivery times and improved service offerings through retailers. The resulting pressure on supply chains requires a precisely coordinated scheduling of successive processes. Even though a multitude of...

This study investigates the viability of a ``courier friendly" crowd-shipping (CS) model to carry out express package deliveries in an urban area. Imposing almost no managerial control over the occasional couriers (OC), to maximize their willingness to participate, the envisioned model suggests...

Many investors rely on brokers to route their orders to exchanges. Exchanges charge fees to the broker who routes the order, rather than to the investor. Brokers have an incentive to route based on the fees, instead of the execution quality experienced by their clients. This conflict of interest...

Nowadays, with the rapid development of science and technology and the ever increasing demand in every field, wireless sensor networks are emerging as a necessary scientific achievement to meet the demand of human in modern society. The wireless sensor network (WSN) is designed to help us not...
