This research introduces a cloud-based hybrid simulation model that combines discrete-event simulation (DES) and agent-based modeling (ABM) to enhance Amazon warehouse yard operations, which are crucial for efficient logistics. By leveraging cloud technology for scalability and real-time data integration, the model dynamically simulates sequential processes and the interactions of autonomous agents, such as trucks and yard staff.
Despite advances in clinical care for the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, population-wide interventions were vital to effectively manage the pandemic due to its rapid spread and the emergence of different variants. One of the most important interventions to control the spread of the disease is vaccination. In this study, an extended Susceptible-Infected Healed (SIR) model based on system dynamics was designed, considering the factors affecting the rate of spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The behavior of passengers in urban railway stations (i.e., metro stations) is dependent on environmental, cultural, and temporal factors. In this research, escalator infrastructures were studied to better understand the relationship between different conditions and passenger behaviors through a method based on video cameras, passenger detection techniques, and a simulation framework.
Cross-docking is a warehousing method that allows goods to move quickly from inbound suppliers directly to outbound customers, minimizing storage time. This study focuses on developing a real-time multi-agent truck scheduling model to optimize the process of cross-docking in warehouses, aiming for quick and efficient synchronization of incoming and outgoing freight.
