This work has the purpose to develop a computational tool based on the concepts of Non-linear Programming and Voronoi Diagrams to study and define the ideal bus-stop spacing in urban areas in order to minimize the total travel time of all passengers until a common destination. The idea is to help the cities to organize their traffic in the central areas. The main problem these cities are facing nowadays...
This article is characterized by approaching one of the problems encountered in port systems known as the berth allocation problem. As the operational activities require a high degree of time to be carried out and, in most cases they are done manually, it becomes necessary to use an optimization tool. To obtain a good solution with a small amount of computational effort, a heuristic model, based on...
