Companies are shifting from running everything on the most powerful AI model to matching each task to the right one, a practice called model routing. The pressure for efficiency comes as large ...

Abstract: This paper proposes an improved simulated annealing (ISA) algorithm embedded in column generation to solve the vehicle routing problem with multiple time windows (VRPMTW). Firstly, two ...

A new quantum-inspired algorithm has cracked a problem so massive that conventional supercomputers struggle to even approach it. Researchers used the method to simulate extraordinarily complex quantum ...

Simulated annealing is a probabilistic metaheuristic inspired by the physical process of annealing in metallurgy, where controlled cooling enables a metal to reach a low-energy crystalline state. In ...

It can be hard to let go of your current vehicle. Maybe you don't have the cash to get a new car, or you're sentimental and want to hold on to it. Or perhaps you think that there's no reason to get a ...

ABSTRACT: Effective household waste management in developing cities requires optimization approaches adapted to local constraints. This article proposes a methodological framework for bi-weekly ...

Researchers at Spain’s Technical University of Madrid (UPM) developed a model framework to simulate the performance of vehicle integrated photovoltaic (VIPV) modules under realistic dynamic shading ...

Abstract: Electric vehicle distribution has short mileage, strong time dependence, and is more vulnerable to road congestion in urban road networks. In order to solve the problem of high distribution ...
