We conclude that short-term, transportation objectives overrule longer-term, integrative objectives, which withholds strategic considerations required for aligning waterway interests.
Hydraulics is the major driver to address the design process throughout the several spatial scales involved, so the program requires an innovative approach in order to determine water quantity and quality standards under the updated perspective of landscape, recreational and transportation objectives of the program.
There are eight (8) main transportation planning objectives to be achieved in organising an active transport system, such as congestion reduction, road and parking cost reduction, consumer cost reduction, crash risk reduction, air and noise pollution reduction, energy conservation, economic development benefits and liveable communities.
A breadth level mixed integer linear programming model, named BioFeed, is proposed that simulates different feedstock production operations such as harvesting, packing, storage, handling and transportation, with the objective of determining the optimal system level configuration on a regional basis.
In 2014, Maity and Roy (2014) presented also multi-choice multi-objective transportation problem using utility function approach.
It can be used in various applications such as home automation, telemetry, energy management, and transportation, with the objectives of improving the efficiency and reducing the cost.
To effectively integrate explosives detection system machines into the air transportation operations, numerous objectives must be balanced, including equipment cost, passenger and baggage demand, screening capacity, and security effectiveness.
Tan et al. [27] discuss a simulation model for a state-wide intermodal freight transportation network, with the objective to demonstrate interactions between transport modes under various intermodal policy changes.
The upper model designs the network and allocates the transportation capacity with the objective of minimizing the total transportation cost, and the lower model calculates the link flows in user equilibrium.
This paper introduces an optimization model (COSDM) for a Container Ocean-transportation System with the objective of maximizing the revenue of a liner company while taking into account the seasonal fluctuation in transportation demand and the choice inertia of shippers.
