Multimodal transportation is generally accepted as an efficient alternative to road transportation in terms of costs, fuel consumption, environmental externalities and road congestion. This work presents a novel optimization approach to the multimodal network design for freight transportation with applications to a case in Spain. Optimization is conducted in order to maximize the internal rate of...
Autocorrelation has been pointed out as one of the most challenging issues in manufacturing systems modeling. Numerical experimentation has shown that it may either enhance or harm performance. Furthermore, there is not yet a general agreement in what a realistic autocorrelation model is or whether it is actually relevant for practical applications. This paper provides a simulation analysis of the...
Project-based teaching is a widely acknowledged methodology for education in engineering. Realistic working experiences enhance students' motivation and develop skills for practice. However, case studies based on real industry problems are usually time consuming and often request a deeper knowledge of the circumstances than it is achievable within a standard course. This paper covers the design and...
