Optimizing dead mileage in urban bus routes through a nondominated solution approach
Article Abstract:
An algorithm solution has been developed to address the problem of dead mileage and determine the best nondominated schedules for all bus units from the depots to the starting points of their routes. The aims of the new schedules is to shorten dead mileage to a minimum and maximize the productive mileage covered by the buses. The solution, which can be easily implemented, can also be adapted for other systems requiring the delivery of goods or services.

Parallel machine scheduling of machine-dependent jobs with unit-length
Article Abstract:
The parallel machine scheduling problem is studied with unit-length jobs in which each job j is only allowed to be processed on a specified subset M(sub j) of machines. The polynomial algorithms for the problem with general subset family {M(sub j)} are presented.
