Application Of Computational Methods In Industrial Transportation
The transport industry is very crucial for any economy, it being the backbone
under which all economies thrive. Industrial transportation involves a lot of
computational methods to reduce the workload and enhance accuracy. These
computational methods are widely applied for various purposes which could
include in making decisions on what order to follow when transporting various
materials as well as in the design of the vessels used in this subsector.
Industrial transportation is a very complicated sector; a lot of decisions
need to be made on a daily basis. How then do you ensure consistency given
the fact that the personnel making this decisions could change any time?
In delivery services, how do you decide on what to deliver first and how to
do it? Marine transportation for example is usually characterized by heavy
traffic especially at the docks where there are many vessels waiting at the
gate, how then can this be dealt with?
