This is especially important and challenging during mass gatherings, such as large concerts. In this paper, we present the Emergency Exit Layout Problem (EELP) which is the problem of locating a given number of emergency exits and deciding their width such that the time it takes to evacuate the crowd from an arena is minimized. The EELP takes into account the geography of the arena and its surroundings, as well as the number of pedestrians in the crowd and the distribution of these within the arena. The EELP is formulated as a two-stage stochastic mixed integer linear program to handle the uncertainty related to the location of the possible incidents and the distribution of the pedestrians. Two cases are studied, a large concert planned at the Leangen trotting track in Trondheim and a smaller indoor arena. For each case, the EELP is solved for different scenarios, and the suggested layouts are evaluated using an agent-based simulation model. In particular, the potential of incorporating detailed assessment regarding the location and probability of specific incidents and the distribution of pedestrians are investigated. The computational study shows that making a more detailed risk assessment has little effect on the large concert, but a significant impact on the location of the emergency exits for the smaller indoor case. The results also indicate that it is more important to consider the location and probability of specific incidents rather than the pedestrian distribution.","PeriodicalId":46743,"journal":{"name":"Computational Management Science","volume":"32 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136104148","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 problem addresses a short sea inventory routing problem that aims to find the best route and distribution plan for multiple products with a heterogeneous fleet of vessels through a network including several producers and customers. Each port can be visited a given number of times during the planning horizon, and the stock level for each product should lie within the predefined bound limits. The problem was introduced by Hemmati et al. (Eur J Oper Res 252:775–788, 2016). They developed a mixed integer programming formulation and proposed a matheuristic algorithm to solve the problem. Although their proposed algorithm worked well in terms of running time, it suffers from disregarding a part of the solution space. In this study, we propose a new matheuristic algorithm to find better solutions by exploring the entire solution space for the same problem. In our solution methodology, we split the variables into routing and non-routing variables. Then in an iterative process, we determine the values of the routing variables with an adaptive large neighborhood search algorithm, and we pass them as input to a penalized model which is a relaxed and modified version of the mathematical model introduced in Hemmati et al. (2016). The information from solving the penalized model, including the values of the non-routing variables, is then passed to the adaptive large neighborhood search algorithm for the next iteration. Several problem-dependent operators are defined. The operators use the information they get from the penalized model and focus on decreasing the penalty values. Computational results show up to 26% improvement in the quality of the solutions for the group of instances with a large feasible solution space. We get the optimal value for the remaining instances matched with the reported results.","PeriodicalId":46743,"journal":{"name":"Computational Management Science","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136279937","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}

Traditionally, the goal of this problem is to find an assignment that minimizes or maximizes a measure of efficiency, such as maximization of utility or minimization of cost. Lately, the interest in incorporating a measure of fairness in addition to efficiency has gained importance. This paper studies how to incorporate these two criteria in an integer assignment, using the Jain’s index as a measure of fairness. The original formulation of the assignment problem with this index involves a non-concave function, which renders a non-linear non-convex problem, usually hard to solve. To this aim, we develop two reformulations, where one is based on a quadratic objective function and the other one is based on integer second-order cone programming. We explore the performance of these reformulations in instances of real-world data derived from an application of assigning personnel to projects, and also in instances of randomly generated data. In terms of solution quality, all formulations prove to be effective in finding solutions capturing both efficiency and fairness criteria, with some slight differences depending on the type of instance. In terms of solving time, however, the performances of the formulations differ considerably. In particular, the integer quadratic approach proves to be much faster in finding optimal solutions.","PeriodicalId":46743,"journal":{"name":"Computational Management Science","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136060071","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}
