After a disaster, a huge number of homeless victims should be evacuated to temporary resettlement sites. However, because the number of temporary shelters is insufficient, as are shelter building capabilities, victims must be evacuated and resettled in batches. The perceived psychological...

In studies of parking policy, the role of parking pricing has been addressed. Most researches have focused on the determination of a proper price for city parking spaces that are open to the public and it is now evident that price is used by authorities as a tool to manage transport demand....

This study investigates the economic incentive-drivers used in various configurations in green supply chains. The configurations of competitive suppliers and integrated transportation are studied for recycled materials with low economic value but high environmental impact. Arguments are embodied...

This paper investigates an integrated freeway traffic management system, which coordinates both dynamic toll pricing and ramp control strategies for the purpose of dynamic freeway congestion management. The proposed integrated dynamic toll-ramp control methodology is built mainly on the...

This paper proposes a method for designing a seamless centralized emergency supply network by integrating three sub-networks (shelter network, medical network, and distribution network) to support emergency logistics operations in response to large-scale natural disasters. The proposed method...

This work investigates how bargaining power affects negotiations between manufacturers and reverse logistics providers in reverse supply chains under government intervention using a novel three-stage reverse supply chain model for two scenarios, a reverse logistics provider alliance and no...

This work proposes a post-disaster demand-oriented emergency logistics operational model that aims at disaster relief–service distribution to maximize survivor resilience. Rooted in survival psychology and cognition theories, this work proposes a conceptual model which hypothesizes...

In this paper, train scheduling problem (TSCP) is discussed for the case of single-track railway corridor, in which variable sensitivity on train delay are discussed in detailed for different types of trains. The mathematical model is a complicated nonlinear mixed-integer programming. The object...

This study presents a reference-dependent Hotelling model for analyzing airline competition in pricing and green transportation investment, as well as the resulting financial performance under the European Union emission trading scheme. One feature of the proposed methodology is that it embeds...
