Transport on-demand is an issue in the Vehicle Routing Problem which involves transporting a collection of goods from the source (depot) to their destination (customers) and inversely. This paper analyzes and forecasts the viability of using discrete event systems in a subset of this general problem known as pickup and delivery problems in the literature and projects on an automated manufacturing cell with an optimization approach for the vehicle’s energy consumption.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
