Dispatching emergency reserves
… presents the analysis of cost-effective dispatching of emergency reserves with a specific focus on supply and demand side options. On the demand side options the focus is the demand market participation product. On the supply side options the use of hydro and gas specifically the open …

Distributed dispatching for embedded generation
… well known that existing schemes for planning, dispatching and protection of central generators are not directly applicable to the new technology, and dispatching (scheduling) of small embedded generators is not currently feasible. In this work, a novel dispatching management system which may …

Trucking: novel spot-market dispatching models
… value of product it hauls, and the diversity of dispatching models it uses. One of these dispatching models is the spot dispatching. This form of dispatching went through a recent transformation as a result of the industry deregulation in the 80s and the emergence of the internet. The …

The Incident Dispatching and Tracking System
The Incident Dispatching and Tracking System (IDTS) was developed to facilitate the technical support of an organization. IDTS provides a means by which a user may submit their issue/problem to the system and receive a unique trouble ticket number. This number can then be used to view the status of …

Real time dispatching control in transit systems
… location and time of day of the disruption. The dispatching problem occurs around a terminal when a train is not expected to arrive at the terminal early enough to be dispatched on its next trip on schedule. This problem can be considered as a special case of minor disturbance. Its solution can …

Predicate dispatching in the Common Lisp Object
I have added support for predicate dispatching, a powerful generalization of other dispatching mechanisms, to the Common Lisp Object System (CLOS). To demonstrate its utility, I used predicate dispatching to enhance Weyl, a computer algebra system which doubles as a CLOS library. My result is …

Intermodal transit system coordination with dynamic vehicle dispatching
… transit system and another for dynamic dispatching of vehicles on coordinated routes, are presented. Schedule synchronization may significantly reduce transfer delays at transfer stations where various routes interconnect. Since vehicle arrivals are stochastic, slack time allowances in …

Irradiance forecasting and dispatching central station photovoltaic power plants
This dissertation introduces a new operational tool for integrating a photovoltaic (PV) system into the utility's generation mix. It is recognized at the outset, that much of the existing research concentrated on the central PV system and its operations have concluded that technical problems in PV …

Distributed method selection and dispatching of contingent, temporally flexible plans
Many applications of autonomous agents require groups to work in tight coordination. To be dependable, these groups must plan, carry out and adapt their activities in a way that is robust to failure and to uncertainty. Previous work developed contingent, temporally flexible plans. These plans …

Planning coordinated loads to facilitate centralized dispatching in the grocery industry
… should be recommended in pursuit of a central dispatching function to coordinate all movements within the transportation network. For this particular retailer, several areas were identified as potential stepping stones in its plan to begin a central dispatching operation. These areas of …

Study of truck allocation and truck dispatching problems in open pit mines
… performed by fixed truck allocation and by truck dispatching. Several operations research and simulation techniques, which can be used to solve problems concerning surface mining operations, are discussed. The types of problems addressed are: how to allocate trucks to loading equipment, how to …

Combined effect of job and AGV dispatching rules on a flexible manufacturing system
… of the AGVS is governed by two kinds of AGV dispatching rules: Workcenter Initiated Rules (WI), and Vehicle Initiated Rules (VI). At work-centers. jobs are prioritized for processing by Job Dispatching (JD) Rules. The objective of the study is to characterize system behavior when dispatching …

Joint Vehicle Dispatching and Redeployment for Emergency Medical Services with Multi-Critic Reinforcement Learning
… problem in both the combined sense (considering dispatching and redeployment as a single problem) or as two separate systems to optimize. Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) has been growing in popularity over the past half decade, and applications of these advances are still underutilized for this …

The impact of vehicle dispatching on the design of multiple-transporters material handling systems
… of vehicles, the routes used by vehicles, the dispatching rules, and the guide path layout. There are two basic categories of AGVS control: static and dynamic. A static control system requires the automated guided vehicle (AGV) to run the same route continuously with stops at each …
