<strong>Résumé</strong> Les Forêts Communautaires (FC) du Cameroun reposent sur une forte exploitation illicite et une absence de transparence. Ces irrégularités constituent des freins pour l’avancement de l’Accord de Partenariat Volontaire portant sur l’application de la réglementation forestière, la gouvernance et les échanges commerciaux (APV- FLEGT) et du processus de Réduction des Émissions dues à la Déforestation et à la Dégradation des forêts (REDD+), présentés comme des instruments de gestion durable des forêts.

En privilégiant la signature des Accords de Partenariat Volontaires (APV) individuels avec la plupart des pays producteurs de bois de l’Afrique centrale, l’Union européenne et les pays signataires affichent leur volonté de lancer une croisade contre l’exploitation illégale du bois et assurent, de manière à peine déguisée, la mainmise de l’Union sur le bois exploité dans ces pays.

The utilization of low-cost AGVs in the industry is increasing every day, but the efficiency of these systems is low due to the lack of a central management system. Low-cost AGVs’ main characteristic is navigation via magnetic sensors, which they follow via magnetic tape on the ground with a low-level automation system. The disadvantages of these systems are mainly due to only one circuit assignment and the lack of system intelligence. Therefore, in this study, AGV pools were employed to determine the required AGV number. This study begins by calculating the required AGV number for each AGV ci

Both internal combustion vehicles (ICV) and alternative fuel vehicles (AFV) are considered, dividing GVRP into two separate subclasses: ICV-based GVRP and AFV-based GVRP. In the ICV-based subclass, the environmental aspect comes from the objective function which aims to minimize GHG emissions or fuel usage of ICVs. On the other hand, the environmental aspect of AFV-based GVRP is implicit and comes from using AFVs in transport. Since GVRP

In material handling systems, estimating the required fleet size of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) is a significant task when designing processes to ensure efficient demand fulfillment. Analytic fleet size estimation methods typically assume that key input variables – such as AGV speed, loading / unloading times, material transportation demand between stations, efficiency and availability coefficients – are deterministic averages, overlooking the variability found inherent in real-world operational conditions. In contrast, we investigate the potential benefits of modeling key parameters as r

Abstract:

Armoured Fighting Vehicles (AFVs) also called as Tanks play a critical role in modern warfare, providing mobility, protection and firepower on the battlefield. However, maintaining these complex machines and ensuring their operational readiness is a significant challenge for military organizations. Traditional maintenance practices are often reactive, resulting in unexpected failures, increased downtime, and operational inefficiencies. This paper focuses on the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for predictive maintenance of Armoured Fighting Vehicles. By harnessing the power of AI al

Abstract:

This article explores an underrepresented aspect in historiography: the logistics of the 1944 Crimean offensive operation. Key logistical challenges included the coordination of rear services at the front and army levels, the timely allocation and maneuvering of reserves and resources to support the advancing troops, and the synchronization of supply systems with industrial enterprises. These responsibilities fell under the command of General A.V. Khrulev, who had led the Red Army’s logistics operations since 1 August 1941. The peninsula’s complex natural and geographic conditions significantl

Abstract:

In this modern era, studying Engineering is far more popular and prestigious than any other option. The demand for engineering students is increasing day by day and students are very eager to study engineering more than ever. To maintain the demand, Engineering institutes are enlarging their capacity as well as increasing their departments. Using this engineering knowledge, for a complete picture of vehicle locations, a vehicle tracking system combines the use of independent vehicle location in individual vehicles with software that gathers this fleet data.

Abstract:

Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGVs) are widely used in flexible manufacturing systems for material handling inside the factory. Traffic management strategies, required to guarantee a conflict-free operation of the overall fleet, discretize the workspace of the AGVs and use the resulting graph model for route planning and execution. In zone control approaches, AGVs move from node to node on a permit basis, with limitations on the allowed number of AGVs at a time in each area of the graph to prevent and/or resolve deadlocks and conflicts. Hence, for an optimal implementation of traffic controllers

Abstract:

Countries in the EU, as part of the Paris Agreement, committed to achieving EU climate neutrality by 2050. To meet this goal, the EU aims to reduce its net greenhouse gas emissions across the entire economy by at least 55 % by 2030 compared to 1990 levels, continuing the reduction of emissions until 2050. The transport sector, responsible for a quarter of EU greenhouse gas emissions, must transform, requiring a 90 % reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. It is crucial to enhance the efficiency of both personal and freight transport in the EU and reduce dependence on fossil fuels. Our p

Abstract:

ABSTRACTIn support of a recent surge in research to develop an accident tolerant reactor, accident tolerant fuels and cladding candidates are being investigated. Relative motion between the fuel rods and fuel assembly spacer grids can lead to excessive fuel rod wear and, in some cases, to fuel rod failure. Based on industry data, grid-to-rod-fretting (GTRF) has been the number one cause of fuel failures within the U.S. pressurized water reactor (PWR) fleet, accounting for more than 70% of all PWR leaking fuel assemblies. APMT, an Fe-Cr-Al steel alloy, is being examined for the I2S-LWR project

This publication focuses on the development of a regional system for monitoring and evaluating public bus delays in the Ústí nad Labem Region in the Czech Republic.The case study, through a questionnaire survey, addresses the issue of the value of time loss caused by delays in regional public bus transport in the Ústí nad Labem Region from both a societal and individual passenger perspective. The survey includes, in addition to opportunity costs, the necessity to use earlier buses due to uncertainty and the potential real financial loss of passengers, for instance, due to late arrival to work

Abstract:

Optimal service life is among the most crucial determinant factors in vehicle life-cycle planning and management. A multi-dimensional operational cost covering asset acquisition, operating, and maintenance until disposal requires a strategic analysis to ensure economic vehicle ownership. The economic service life issue is more prominent for transportation management with a high number of vehicle ownership capacity. Accordingly, twoyear fuel consumption data of a local authority passenger vehicle fleet that is mainly used for urban driving cycles was retrieved. Taking advantage of the actual fu
