• #### Computational methods for congestion toll pricing models ﻿

(IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems, 2001-08)
In earlier work a toll pricing framework for congestion pricing has been developed for both fixed and elastic demand traffic assignment models as an alternative to traditional marginal social cost pricing. Within the ...
• #### Data collection framework on energy consumption in manufacturing ﻿

(2006)
In this paper, we propose a framework to characterize the energy consumption of machines and their subcomponents (e.g., spindle, coolant pump, controller, heater, hydraulic system in injection molding machine, motors in ...
• #### Energy consumption of VA hospital CT scans ﻿

(IEEE, 2011-05)
• #### A framework to minimize total energy consumption and total tardiness on a single machine ﻿

(Wichita State University. Graduate School., 2008-04-25)
A great amount of energy is wasted in industry by machines which stay idle due to underutilization. A way to avoid consuming the wasted energy is to incorporate energy consumption into consideration while making the ...
• #### Genetic algorithm to solve a multi-objective scheduling problem ﻿

(Wichita State University. Graduate School., 2007-04-27)
Energy is expensive and a potential way to reduce energy consumption may be through using intelligent scheduling techniques. In this paper, we propose a genetic algorithm to solve a single machine scheduling problem where ...
• #### A global learning experience in supply chain logistics management ﻿

(2004)
Global competition created multinational supply chains where raw materials from different countries are manufactured in a country, marketed in another, and consumed by consumers in different countries so that cost ...
