Model of the delivery routes forming process as a service provided by forwarding companies
(Procedia Engineering, 2017)In this paper, we propose an approach to model the processes freight forwarding servicing under stochastic demand through forming rational delivery routes. This study aims to develop a mathematical model of forwarding ... -
Simulation support of freight delivery schedule in urban areas
(Procedia Engineering, 2017)Determining of the delivery schedule in urban areas requires consideration of points of view of various players, such as suppliers, customers, but also (indirectly) inhabitants of city. Taking into account these interests ... -
The usage of cognitive maps in the comparison of marketing mix of railway passenger transport
(Procedia Engineering, 2017)The transport company that decides to enter the transport market in passenger transport usually has defined its business objectives. However, the objectives are flexibly changing under the influence of the development of ... -
Temperature effect on deformation and fracture mechanisms under impact loading of 17Mn1Si steel with explicit accounting structural heterogeneity
(Procedia Engineering, 2017)The effect of the microstructure parameters as well as the testing temperature on the impact toughness of 17Mn1Si steel has been studied. The interrelation between the testing temperature during impact bending and deformation ... -
Assessment of transport specialists’ competencies in transport/logistics companies
(Procedia Engineering, 2017)Constantly changing and globalized labour market is a new challenges for transport/logistics companies. Human resources become particularly important in organizations’ competitive battle. Employees’ knowledge and company's ... -
Railway rolling stock compressors capacity and main reservoirs volume calculation methods
(Procedia Engineering, 2017)Existing railway rolling stock compressors capacity and main reservoirs volume calculations methods were created in 1960−1970 and do not take into account the achievements of modern railway pneumatic technologies and the ... -
The multi-criteria decision support in choosing the efficient location of warehouses in the logistic network
(Procedia Engineering, 2017)The warehouse facilities location is a complex multi-objective decision problem. In order to determine this location one can use a different mathematical models that describe the location according to the accepted constraints ... -
Connected vehicles: an innovative transport technology
(Procedia Engineering, 2017)The emergence of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) has paved the way to new innovative prospects for improving the safety, operation, and environmental impact of transportation networks. Connected vehicle (CV), a ... -
Research of influence of dynamic characteristics for options controlled intersection
(Procedia Engineering, 2017)The paper analyzed the traffic flow on the regulated crossroads given the heterogeneity of the composition of the traffic flow. The influence of different modes of transport on the duration of a traffic signal, found that ... -
Evaluation of a security control lane with the application of fuzzy logic
(Procedia Engineering, 2017)The article presents a model for the evaluation of a security control lane at an airport with the application of fuzzy logic. The model allows for carrying out a multi-criteria evaluation of a security control system by ... -
Reflection on the possibilities for monitoring the aging bridge structures
(Procedia Engineering, 2017)The paper contains an analysis of the current state of road bridges in the territory of the Czech Republic. The basic types of defects and several usual faults of road bridge structures and their influence on bridge load ... -
Investigation of fiber concrete for road and bridge building
(Procedia Engineering, 2017)As is well known, fibrous concrete has an increased fracture toughness, impact strength, toughness, and abrasion resistance. Products made of this type of concrete can be manufactured without special reinforcement grids ... -
Operation of a spark-ignition engine on mixtures of petrol and n-butanol
(Procedia Engineering, 2017)The Article analyses the use of n-butanol (biobutanol) in mixtures with petrol in spark-ignition (SI) internal combustion engines (ICE). Analysis of the scientific literature allowed determining that n-butanol content had ... -
Annual assessment of noise generated by road traffic using measurements
(Procedia Engineering, 2017)The noise produced by road transport by the World Health Organization contributes basically to the environment noise pollution. The environmental noise impact by the DIRECTIVE 2002/49/EC is described using the one year ... -
Improvement of warehouse operations management by considering competencies of human resources
(Procedia Engineering, 2017)Clients generally require logistics services package from organizations engaged in the provision of warehouse logistics services. Successful performance of employees in organizations depend on their ability to adapt to ... -
Accident reconstruction and assessment of cyclist's injuries sustained in car-to-bicycle collision
(Procedia Engineering, 2017)Cyclists have the largest risk of severe injury when colliding with a motor vehicle. The difference in weight (mass) is huge and the collision energy is mainly absorbed by the lighter ‘object’. A cyclist simulation study ... -
Research of system vehicle-track when wheel is scaled
(Procedia Engineering, 2017)The interaction between wheel and rail is still a great problem of railway engineering. A mathematical model of the system Vehicle-Track, previously developed by the same authors and a newly developed model of vehicle wheel ... -
