Abstract:

In this thesis, we deal with the demand driven disassembly planning. The main aim of the study is to construct heuristic approaches according to the suggested improvements in the literature. These heuristic approaches are further improved by recognizing the key points of the disassembly planning problem. All of the solution approaches aim minimizing total cost related to relevant costs of disassembly operations. Another subject given attention in this thesis is the importance of the setup cost on the disassembly planning, which has not been studied yet in the literature to the best of our know

Abstract:

One of the largest challenges’ mankind is currently facing has been recognized to be climate change. Moving towards climate neutrality, decoupling economic growth from resource use, and at the same time ensuring long-term competitiveness becomes highly important. A possible path to decrease our impact on the environment is to switch from linear to circular material flows, which is today referred to as a circular economy. In a circular economy, assets that are being reused will induce a demand for transportation. Understanding how the transportation demand could be affected is important, since

Abstract:

The cost of a return journey to a soccer match can often be comparable to, or even exceed, the admission price. However, in spite of the importance of travel costs, previous studies on the demand for live soccer generally exclude travel costs from the analysis. The thesis explores the consequences of this omission and shows that the likely effect is to bias estimates of the ticket price elasticity downwards. The thesis also argues that the previous estimates of the ticket price and income elasticities are likely to be biased due to generic problems with the time series approach and methodologi

Abstract:

Information and communication technology has been identified as a key enabler to develop a resilient, low carbon, and secure future energy system, by creating a smart grid. Starting with the premise that technology can be used to effectively match demand to generation, we address three main questions; (i) can algorithms be used to coordinate demand? (ii) can policy influence market driven demand side solutions? and (iii) how does technology influence consumer behaviour? We find that demand management algorithms are sensitive to assumptions regarding consumer flexibility. Taking this into accou

Abstract:

The current airline practice is to assign aircraft capacity to scheduled flights well in advance of departure. At such an early stage in this process, the high uncertainty of demand poses a major impediment for airlines to best match the airplane capacities with the final demand. However, the accuracy of the demand forecast improves markedly over time, and revisions to the initial fleet assignment become naturally pertinent when the observed demand considerably differs from the assigned aircraft capacity.

Elasticities were computed and they were used to address simple tax issues.

Abstract:

Engine-triggered tasks are real-time tasks that are released when the crankshaft arrives at certain positions in its path of rotation. This makes the rate of release of these jobs a function of the crankshaft's angular speed and acceleration. In addition, several properties of the engine triggered tasks like the execution time and deadlines are dependent on the speed profile of the crankshaft. Such tasks are referred to as adaptive-variable rate (AVR) tasks. Existing methods to calculate the worst-case demand of AVR tasks are either inaccurate or computationally intractable.

In order to manage the growing demand for energy, there is a need for energy system optimization, which would require a realistic, high-resolution energy-demand model.

Abstract:

A smart grid is different from a traditional power system in that it allows incorporation of intelligent features and functions, e.g., meter reading, adaptive demand response, integration of distributed energy sources, substation automation, etc. All these intelligent features and functions are achieved by choosing appropriate communication technologies and network structures for the smart grid appropriately. The objective of this dissertation is to develop an AHP (analytic hierarchy process) - based strategy for demand curtailment allocation that is subject to communications and cyber securi

Abstract:

The demand for emergency ambulance services in Hong Kong is on the rise. Issues such as climate change, ageing population, constrained space, and limited resource capacity mean that the present way of meeting service demand by injecting more resources will reach its limit in the near future and unlikely to be sustainable. There is an urgent need to develop a more realistic forecast model to account for the anticipated demand for emergency ambulance services to enable better strategic planning of resources and more effective logistic arrangement. In this connection, the research objecti
