The efficiency of EMS depends on its timely responsiveness to the demand and the integration of available real time travel/traffic data into the vehicle scheduling and routing model. This paper focuses on designing the routes for emergency vehicles by developing an optimization model based on the available knowledge of real time traffic information using the Google Maps Distance Matrix API. The heuristic approach involves formulation of the vehicle routing problem as an integer programming model and optimizing it by integrating with Google API. The main components of the model are incident location, vehicle tracking, shortest path finding and dispatch optimization. This simulation strategy is validated by various samples and a series of tests.","PeriodicalId":424115,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Service Operations and Logistics, and Informatics (SOLI)","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124362669","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}

The impact of various factors (traffic factor, cross route costs, production time constraints and demand time for product) on the total cost are analyzed in this paper. The procedure developed leads to considerable improvement in terms of supply route selection, allocation of customers to production facilities, location of production facilities and minimizing the total cost. An integer LP mathematical model for multi-product flow is formulated and test problems are solved to analyze the performance of the model when the network characteristics are changed. The results obtained show that the performance of the model is efficient for all test problems.","PeriodicalId":424115,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Service Operations and Logistics, and Informatics (SOLI)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126798478","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}

Public transportation, as one of the basic element in a Smart City, provides shared transport service, such as bus, light rail transit (LRT), and mass rapid transit (MRT), to save energy, reduce air pollution and relieve congestion. For transit operators, how to provide efficient and effective service in traffic networks with limited budget is an important issue. As more public transportation is deployed under the same budget, how to balance bus route and subsidy becomes a new issue. The research proposes a multi-objective formulation to design the optimal bus routes under three conflicting objectives, including travel cost, demand, and subsidy. The solution algorithm is constructed based on the ε-constraint method to solve the problem. Numerical experiments based on a realistic network in Chiayi (Taiwan) are conducted to illustrate the proposed algorithm.","PeriodicalId":424115,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Service Operations and Logistics, and Informatics (SOLI)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132295741","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}

Hence, the necessity of addressing social sustainability in different supply chains has been addressed by the scholars over the years. Meanwhile, the United Nations expect sustainable development across the globe by 2035 by introducing the Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) in 2015. As a result, the tremendous responsibility falls upon the shoulders of the actors of supply chains spread across the globe since businesses play a major role towards the development of the world. Hence, this research attempts at studying how the integration of UN SDGs and supply chain practices of the suppliers in the developing countries lead to better sustainable apparel supply chains. A systematic literature review followed by interviews with experts in the apparel supply chains were conducted to gather data in this study. As a result, 11 sub-topics were identified under the social sustainability dimension of sustainable supply chains followed by best practices of the Sri Lankan apparel manufacturers who also played a major role as suppliers in the ethical global apparel supply chain. Hence this study presents social sustainability practices in depth from the perspective of UN SDGs setting example for any other labor-intensive supply chains.","PeriodicalId":424115,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Service Operations and Logistics, and Informatics (SOLI)","volume":"308 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124391576","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}
