The school bus routing problem (SBRP) is a central issue in
transportation planning and optimization systems. SBRP seeks to
plan an efficient schedule for a fleet of school buses where each
bus picks up students from various bus stops and delivers them to
their designated schools while satisfying various constraints such
as the bus capacity. Due to its complexity, many heuristics have
been proposed to solve this combinatorial problem in an effective
way. In this book, geographic information systems (GIS)-based
decision-making framework that combines GIS, clustering techniques,
network cutting techniques, and a hybrid ant colony optimization
metaheuristic with the iterated Lin-Kernighan local improvement
heuristic is proposed for solving the SBRP as a split delivery
vehicle routing problem (SDVRP). Experiments were conducted for
evaluating the proposed framework by comparing the results from it
and Arc-GIS 9.2 Network Analyst which uses the greedy Dijkstra's
algorithm. The reported results of the proposed framework generally
outperform that of the ArcGIS. IIn addition, the proposed
decision-making framework was applied to solve a real life SBRP to
demonstrate its application.
Evaluation of web portals is an important topic in web engineering.
The satisfaction of users is a primary goal for actors involved
with the development and operation of a web portal. Different users
can not be treated as the same due to the diversity of people which
have different drives, abilities, and personalities. This book has
three aims the first one is to provide an integrated framework for
web portals evaluation criteria. The proposed web portals
evaluation criteria model is divided into eight criteria which were
not grouped together before which involves web portal content, web
portal design, web portal personalization, web portal community,
web portal business issue, web portal search engine, web portal
emotional issue, and web portal evaluation and development. The
second aim is to rank the different web portals quality criteria
based on the different types of personality. The third aim is to
discuss the relationship between web portals personalization and
the users' satisfaction.
