Collaborative Multidepot Petrol Station Replenishment Problem with Multicompartments and Time Window Assignment by Guangcan Xu, Maozeng Xu, Yong Wang, Yong Liu, Qiguang Lv

“…To improve the system operational efficiency and reduce costs, we formulate and solve a collaborative multidepot petrol station replenishment problem with multicompartments and time window assignment by establishing a mixed-integer linear programming model. The hybrid heuristic algorithm composed of genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimization is used as a solution, and then the Shapley value method is applied to analyze the profit allocation of each petrol depot under different coalitions. …”

Recognizing Boundaries in Wireless Sensor Networks Based on Local Connectivity Information by Baoqi Huang, Wei Wu, Guanglai Gao, Tao Zhang

“…Specifically, given any node in a WSN, the proposed algorithm constructs its 2-hop isocontour and locally makes a rough decision on whether this node is suspected to be on boundaries of the WSN by examining the associated 2-hop isocontour. Then, a heuristic operation is performed to refine this decision, with the result that the suspected boundary node set is significantly shrunk. …”

Fare Design in Urban Transit Network considering Elastic Demand and Adverse Weather’s Impact by Jiantong Zhang, Biyu Lv, Guichao Tian, Wenchi Liu

“…Such transit fare design problem is described through bilevel programming, in which the upper level is the transportation authority’s transit fare structure decision aiming to minimize the transit network’s total travel and operation cost, while the lower level is a transit network assignment model considering supply and demand uncertainties that influence passengers’ travel choice decisions. A heuristic algorithm is developed to solve the problem, and a numerical example is presented to illustrate the application. …”
