The increase of greenhouse gases emission, global warming, and even climate change is an ongoing issue. Sustainable logistics and distribution management can help reduce greenhouse gases emission and lighten its influence against our living environment. Quantum computing has become more and more popular in recent years for advancing artificial intelligence into the next generation. Hence, we apply quantum random number generator to provide true random numbers for the genetic algorithm to solve the pollution-routing problems (PRPs) in sustainable logistics management in this paper. The objective of the PRPs is to minimize carbon dioxide emissions, following one of the seventeen sustainable development goals set by the United Nations. We developed a two-phase hybrid model combining a modified k-means algorithm as a clustering method and a genetic algorithm with quantum random number generator as an optimization engine to solve the PRPs aiming to minimize the pollution produced by trucks traveling along delivery routes. We also compared the computation performance with another hybrid model by using a different optimization engine, i.e., the tabu search algorithm. From the experimental results, we found that both hybrid models can provide good solution quality for CO2 emission minimization for 29 PRPs out of a total of 30 instances (30 runs each for all problems).

In this paper, we present two new dependent mixed sampling plans and a mixed repetitive sampling plan based on the process yield index for linear profiles. A mixed sampling plan includes two stages; the first stage is a combined test by variables and by attributes, and the second stage is tested by attributes only. The first plan is based on the traditional mixed sampling scheme without marginal quality, and the second plan is based on the modified mixed sampling scheme with marginal quality. If a lot is very bad, the probability it can be rejected with the small initial sample is higher for dependent mixed sampling with marginal quality. We compare dependent mixed plans with other types of double sampling plans; the former outperforms the others with respect to average sample number. Additionally, the number of profiles required in the first stage is much smaller than in the second stage. When the inspection is costly and destructive, a mixed repetitive sampling plan includes one stage that combines the inspection by attributes and by variables and allows resampling in some conditions. We compare the mixed repetitive sampling plan with the repetitive sampling plans by attributes and by variables. The probability of acceptance using the mixed repetitive sampling plan performs better than the repetitive sampling plans by attributes and by variables. Three examples are used to illustrate the proposed methods. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The multi-criteria supplier segmentation (MSS) has become one of the most important problems and plays a key role in every global company. It is vital for every company to successfully select suppliers, to undertake selection evaluation process for a long time, and to invest enormous of capital and effort to manage supply chain efficiently. This study aims to propose a new fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) method for the efficiency evaluation of suppliers with bell-shaped membership functions. Since the MSS is a multi-criteria decision-making problem, we decomposed the problem into two main clusters grouping criteria, including the criterion of capability and the criterion of willingness in the first phase. Then the modified FAHP method is applied to acquire a ranking of the candidate suppliers in the second phase with evaluation of different alternatives. A study from the case company was conducted to choose the best solution alternative(s) for the case company. From the experiments, we show that the proposed method is a very practical and efficient technique for the decision makers to select best options for the MSS in managing supply chain.

In this study, we focused on the bike replenishment strategies for the public bicycle system, YouBike System, in Taipei. YouBike System refers to the “rent-it-here, leave-it-there” bike sharing service provided by the Taipei City Government. Recently, the bicycle system has become popular and has been used by over one million riders. During the rush hours, when people go on or off duty, there would be: (1) no bicycle for renting at the particular rental stations; or (2) no space to park bicycles at the rental stations near schools or MRT stations. These problems can be troublesome to many users/members of the YouBike System. In order to mimic the YouBike System in Taipei, we used computer simulation software to simulate the movement of the bicycles from one bicycle station to other bicycle station. As a result, our goal is to build an on-line monitoring system to provide real-time usage of the bikes and parking space of all YouBike stations. Feasible solutions and optimal strategies were proposed in this study to move bicycles between bicycle rental stations to balance: (1) number of bicycles in the rental station; and (2) number of available parking space for the bicycles in the bicycle rental station.

In this study, we focused on the service quality for the public bicycle system, YouBike System, in Taipei, and used the station setting at the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology (NTUST) for the case study. YouBike System refers to the “rent-it-here, leave-it-there” bike sharing service provided by the Taipei City Government. We adopted the service quality models developed by Parasuraman, Zeithaml and Berry in 1970s to conduct the research. In the first stage before launching the station at the NTUST, a pre-using questionnaire was designed and distributed to the students at the NTUST to collect the opinions and their expectations about the YouBike System. Then, an after-using questionnaire was designed and distributed to the students at the NTUST to investigate whether the service quality of the YouBike System meet their expectations and what is the service level provided by the YouBike system. The after-using survey was conducted after one month of launching the station at the NTUST. The results analyzed from both sets of surveys would provide valuable information for the Taipei City Government to continuing improves their public transportation policy.

This paper proposes a zero-watermark scheme with geometrical invariants using support vector machine (SVM) classifier against geometrical attacks for image authentication. Here geometrical attacks merely address rotation, scale, and translation (RST) operations on images. The proposed scheme is called the SVM-based zero-watermark (SZW) scheme hereafter. The SZW method makes no changes to original images while embedding the owner signature of images so as to achieve high transparency. Moreover, in order to promote the robustness to RST operations, it integrates the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) with the log-polar mapping (LPM) for finding out RST invariants of images. The SZW method then generates the secret key for a host image via performing a logical operation exclusive disjunction, an exclusive-or (XOR) operation, on the original watermark and a set of the characteristics of the RST invariants of the host image. Subsequently, a trained SVM (TSVM) is regarded as a mapping so that it can memorize the relationships between the set of characteristics of RST invariants and the secret key. During the watermark-extraction process of the SZW method, the TSVM is first fed with the set of characteristics of RST invariants of the watermarked image to get the estimated secret key. The SZW method then extracts the estimated watermark by performing the XOR operation on the set of characteristics of RST invariants and the estimated secret key. Consequently, the SZW method requires no original image while retrieving watermarks. In the paper, the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is also employed to search for a set of nearly optimal parameters of the SVM. Finally, the experimental results show that, in average, the SZW method outperforms other existing methods against RST attacks under consideration here.

In this research, we aim to design real-time fuzzy bus holding system (FBHS) for the mass rapid transit (MRT) transfer system with real-time information for a terminal station with in a metropolitan area. We employ fuzzy logic to develop a model for the MRT-bus system to achieve the following goals pertaining to bus holding strategies used: to reduce the bus waiting time, to reduce the passenger waiting time, and to reduce passenger traveling time. In order to enhance the performance of the MRT-bus transfer system, we develop several fuzzy rules in the transfer models that are different functions of the travel time taken by buses during different time periods, such as rush hours and off-peak hours. Real-time traffic information acquired by the intelligent transportation systems through global positioning systems is used as input data for the FBHS. A performance index function is derived and served as the performance measure to compare our system with real data. The experimental results show that the FBHS significantly reduces the overall passenger waiting time and improves the performance of the MRT-bus transfer system.

This research aims at the bus holding strategies for the simulation of mass rapid transit (MRT) transferring system in a terminal station with platform constraints for bus in the metropolitan area. We developed and evaluated the transfer system through computer simulation models for MRT with bus system that the goals of bus holding strategies in the model were: reduce bus waiting time, reduce passengers waiting time for the bus, and reduce passengers traveling time. In order to enhance the performance of the MRT-Bus transfer system, we develop several bus holding strategies scenarios that use different traveling time functions of buses at different time intervals, such as rush hours and off-peak hours, with bus platform capacity constraints in the transfer models to construct proposed transfer models in the MRT transfer system. Real-time traffic information acquired by the intelligent transportation systems (ITS) through global positioning system (GPS) provided input data for the simulation models. Performance index function were derived and served as performance measure to compare different bus holding strategies.

A critical link in the overnight Express Package services is the on-time arrival of trucks at local airport terminals. Truck delays can delay the package sorting process, which can in turn delay aircraft departures from the local terminal, as well as aircraft departures from hub terminals that depend on timely aircraft arrivals. In this paper, the design of a real-time logistics information system (RLIS) for trucking industry was addressed, considering the effects of traffic congestion during rush hour. Two types of forecasting methods, time series models and nonlinear fuzzy reasoning, were created and embedded into the RLIS. The results from practical web services reveal a substantial improvement of the truck scheduling performance and help decision makers determine schedule coordination between ground transportation and aircraft departures at airport cargo terminals.
