Online Traffic Signal Control Through Sample-Based Constrained Optimization, Srishti Dhamija, Alolika Gon, Pradeep Varakantham, William Yeoh

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Traffic congestion reduces productivity of individuals by increasing time spent in traffic and also increases pollution. To reduce traffic congestion by better handling dynamic traffic patterns, recent work has focused on online traffic signal control. Typically, the objective in traffic signal control is to minimize expected delay over all vehicles given the uncertainty associated with the vehicle turn movements at intersections. In order to ensure responsiveness in decision making, a typical approach is to compute a schedule that minimizes the delay for the expected scenario of vehicle movements instead of minimizing expected delay over the feasible vehicle movement scenarios. Such …


Review On Agv Scheduling Optimization, Jianlin Fu, Hengzhi Zhang, Zhang Jian, Liangkui Jiang Sep 2020

Review On Agv Scheduling Optimization, Jianlin Fu, Hengzhi Zhang, Zhang Jian, Liangkui Jiang

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: AGV scheduling plays an important role in improving the efficiency and reducing manufacturing cost, but it is also a very complex combinatorial optimization procedure. AGV scheduling optimization is divided into three types, AGV static scheduling, AGV dynamic scheduling and AGV simultaneous scheduling with other resources scheduling. Various methods are summarized and listed, including traditional analysis method, modeling and simulation method, intelligent optimization algorithm and hybrid optimization method, and the advantages and disadvantages of each method are also analyzed. The deficiencies of AGV scheduling research are pointed out and the research directions for future are presented.

Simulation And Optimization For Bulk Terminal Yard Scheduling, Dongbo Hu, Li Pan, Binbin Zhang, Guozhi Liang

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: Yard is the central part of the operation process of the whole terminal. In fact, the operation of lots of bulk terminal is unscientific, which severely restricts the turnover efficiency and the throughput of the terminal. Taking the coal terminal as an example and based on its operation process, the dispatching simulation model involving all parts of the operation was established and the rules of use of the yard grids was brought forward. By optimizing the operation strategy and related parameters, it is significant to improve the input quantity of bulk terminal and the turnover efficiency.

Research On Modeling And Scheduling Of Cluster Tools With Reentrant Process, Chunrong Pan, Li Liang

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: Cluster tools reconfigured are increasingly adopted in wafer fabrication. With single-wafer processing technology, the productivity and quality of semiconductor manufacturing have been improved. The configurations of cluster tools and constraints of operation processes were proposed. Due to the increase of processing requirements of wafer revisiting, the scheduling of cluster tools becomes more complicated.

Scheduling Problem Of Unidirectional Material Handling System With Short-Cut, Juntao Li, Kun Xia, Kise Hiroshi

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: Unidirectional circulation-type material handling system on a single loop with a shortcut is a typical and basic unit in a flexible manufacturing system or logistics system. It is widely used in semiconductor wafer fabrication system. Superposition efficiency of the basic unit often determines the one of the whole system. Different scheduling rules impact the interference between AGVs and then have an important effect on the efficiency of the whole system. To decrease the interference and improve performance of the system, a mathematical model of this system was made, analyzing this system by simulation and comparing the merits and …
