To meet the rising demands, automated transport and delivery processes are increasingly used. As part of the DLR (German Aerospace Center) research project Automated Low Altitude Delivery (ALAADy), a fully automated Unmanned Cargo Aircraft (UCA) with a payload of one ton under the precondition of the Minimum Risk Configuration is being developed. The theoretical and practical concepts of this topic were examined within the study under the premise that “No infrastructure exits at destination” in order to obtain the most automated process possible for future logistics. Our study shows that the interaction between an UCA and an automated robotic container-system solves both problems of the penultimate and the last mile within the logistics chain. Furthermore, the concepts of ground handling and the development of unmanned systems, including their present capabilities, were studied theoretically to design a model representing basic ground handling processes of Unmanned Aircraft Vehicles (UAVs). The intention was to create a base for further research on this matter by targeting the key requirements for ground handling processes of UCAs in the given concepts. We found out that our obtained findings, approaches for an automated turnaround of an UAV can therefore serve as a basis for future analyses in UCA ground handling and last miles logistics.","PeriodicalId":338998,"journal":{"name":"2018 8th International Conference on Logistics, Informatics and Service Sciences (LISS)","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131983100","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In real-world applications, a controllable method of the quality-efficiency trade-off might be more practical. The hierarchical algorithms usually perform better on the clustering quality but are much more computationally expensive than partitioning algorithms. In this paper, we proposed an efficient two-stage hierarchical algorithm for categorical data clustering (THUS) to improve the efficiency while maintaining acceptable quality. In the first stage, several efficient methods are used to generate intermediate clusters to reduce the complexity of the hierarchical stage two. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm reduces the computational time considerably, and the clustering quality can be equivalent to the original hierarchical algorithm. By manipulating the pre-clustering level, a controllable trade-off between clustering quality and efficiency can be conducted based on application purpose.","PeriodicalId":338998,"journal":{"name":"2018 8th International Conference on Logistics, Informatics and Service Sciences (LISS)","volume":"30 9","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120838042","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Motivated by this problem, we propose a novel data-driven method using Rough Set theory and Random Forest algorithm for constructing the predictive model from CAN-BUS data, bus maintenance system, bus daily schedule system and relevant weather data, which is able to reduce fault detection deviation resulting from excessive reliance on expert knowledge. More specifically, we utilize the Rough Set theory for extracting key attributes relevant to LNG bus faults. Then, Random Forest algorithm is applied for model construction of the fault prediction. This method provides the opportunity to predict bus faults during the bus operating. Moreover, the effectiveness of model constructed has been validated using real-world data showing very promising results with precision, recall and F1- score all above 0.8. In addition, key attributes extracted are useful for monitoring the bus fault. This predictive model is able to pre-identify LNG engine city buses with potential fault risks, which is important information for improving bus maintenance processes to avoid extra costs.","PeriodicalId":338998,"journal":{"name":"2018 8th International Conference on Logistics, Informatics and Service Sciences (LISS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129215943","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the witness software simulation platform used, it is found that the working hours are not high and the proportion of idle time is about 40%.

Based on the data from March 2015 to May 2017, this paper studies the correlation of interest rates between P2P and traditional financial markets by multiple regression analysis. Results show that P2P interest rate is mainly affected by its own previous levels; both traditional private lending interest rate and Shibor have positive influence on the P2P interest rate; bond yield has a minor negative impact on the P2P interest rate; and stock return has no effect on the P2P interest rate.","PeriodicalId":338998,"journal":{"name":"2018 8th International Conference on Logistics, Informatics and Service Sciences (LISS)","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124237287","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through analyzing the manufacturing characteristics, we further integrate the drum-buffer-rope (DBR) method to synchronize production to the constraint to achieve the following objects: First, the company can easily identify the bottleneck and allocate its valuable resources to the bottleneck. Second, in process management, the company can set the pace of other operation activities according to the drum of the bottleneck with the assistance of continuous information feed.
