Description
In Australia, the railway system plays a vital role in transporting the sugarcane crop from farms to mills. The sugarcane transport system is complex as it routines a daily schedule, which consists of a set of train runs to satisfy the requirements of the mills and harvesters. A constrain programming approach is used to formulate this complicated system. Metaheuristic techniques and constraint programming are hybridised as an efficient solution approach. Thus, a better sugarcane transport scheduling system is achieved to maximise the throughput of sugarcane transport. A numerical investigation is presented and demonstrates that high-quality solutions are obtainable for industry-scale applications in a reasonable time.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
