Containership Routing And Scheduling In Liner Shipping: Overview And Future Research Directions, Qiang Meng, Shuaian Wang, Henrik Andersson, Kristian Thun
Containership Routing And Scheduling In Liner Shipping: Overview And Future Research Directions, Qiang Meng, Shuaian Wang, Henrik Andersson, Kristian Thun
Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A
This paper reviews studies from the past 30 years that use operations research methods to tackle containership routing and scheduling problems at the strategic, tactical, and operational planning levels. These problems are first classified and summarized, with a focus on model formulations, assumptions, and algorithm design. The paper then gives an overview of studies on containership fleet size and mix, alliance strategy, and network design (at the strategic level); frequency determination, fleet deployment, speed optimization, and schedule design (at the tactical level); and container booking and routing and ship rescheduling (at the operational level). The paper further elaborates on the …

A review of the recent developments in soft soil improvement through consolidation or preloading is presented in this paper. The topics covered range from fundamental analysis to methods of implementation. Various methods and processes related to vertical drains, vacuum preloading or combined vacuum and fill surcharge, and dynamic consolidation with enhanced drainage or vacuum are compared and discussed. Factors affecting the design and analyses for the methods discussed are also elaborated.

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A
Hand gesture recognition has been applied to many fields in recent years, especially in man-machine interaction (MMI) area, which is regarded as a more natural and flexible input. In this paper, an overview of hand gesture recognition research up to date is presented, which includes common stages of hand gesture recognition, common methods and technique of each stage, the state of the recent research and summaries of some successful hand gesture recognition models. 2013 IEEE.
