TL;DR
A method for performing an integrated routing/scheduling analysis is described, and estimates of the “value of information” for incorporation of this time-dependent data are constructed.
Abstract
Recognition of time-varying patterns of accident rates and exposure parameters can be used to improve routing and scheduling decisions for hazardous materials shipments. An integrated routing/scheduling approach can be used to reduce overall risk, and find preferred solutions in a multiobjective context. We describe a method for performing an integrated routing/scheduling analysis, and illustrate its use in a case study. We also construct estimates of the “value of information” for incorporation of this time-dependent data.

The more the authors study the information processing aspects of the mind, the more perplexed and impressed they become, and it will be a very long time before they understand these processes sufficiently to reproduce them.

The review traces the evolution of models from single-criterion optimizations to multiobjective analyses, and highlights the emerging direction of dealing explicitly with distributions of outcomes, rather than simply optimizing expected values.
NetworksMinimum weight paths in time‐dependent networks

It is demonstrated that, in general, there exist cases in which no finite path is optimal leading us to define an infinite path in such a way that the minimum weight problem always has a solution.

This paper considers the case where such an assumption is not acceptable, and presents an efficient algorithm for the solution of the shortest route problem in networks with time dependent lengths of edges and parking regulations at the nodes.
