    • A Co-Scheduling Problem of Ship Lift and Ship Lock at the Three Gorges Dam 

      Zhao, Xu; Lin, Qianjun; Yu, Hao (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-16)
      Due to the unprecedentedly increasing demands of waterway transportation on the Yangtze River during the latest years, traffic congestion at the Three Gorges Dam (TGD) has becoming a serious problem. In busiest seasons, a vessel may need to wait up to 3 days for passing the TGD via the ship lift or the five-stage ship lock. In order to improve the navigation efficiency and the utilization of passing ...

    • An Improved Mathematical Model for Green Lock Scheduling Problem of the Three Gorges Dam 

      Zhao, Xu; Lin, Qianjun; Yu, Hao (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-05-08)
      In recent years, the environmental pollutions at the Three Gorges Dam have become an increasingly concerning issue of the Chinese government. One of the most significant environmental problems is the carbon emissions from the lockage operations at the two ship locks of the Three Gorges Dam. Currently, due to the large amount of vessels passing through the dam, there is always a long queue of vessels ...

    • Modelling An Improved Ship Appointment System for Lockage Operations of Waterway Transport 

      Zhao, Xu; Liu, Shun; Gao, Pan; Yu, Hao (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-08-10)
      The traffic congestion problem has become a significant challenge for green shipping of inland waterway transport, resulting in long waiting times and high carbon emissions. Several studies have been conducted to optimize the use of the passing facilities and lockage efficiency, but the improvement of the ship appointment system has not been investigated. In this paper, we formulate new mathematical ...

    • Reverse Logistics Network Design for Effective Management of Medical Waste in Epidemic Outbreaks: Insights from the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Outbreak in Wuhan (China) 

      Yu, Hao; Sun, Xu; Solvang, Wei Deng; Zhao, Xu (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-09)
      The outbreak of an epidemic disease may pose significant treats to human beings and may further lead to a global crisis. In order to control the spread of an epidemic, the effective management of rapidly increased medical waste through establishing a temporary reverse logistics system is of vital importance. However, no research has been conducted with the focus on the design of an epidemic reverse ...

    • A Two-Stage Decision-Support System for Floating Debris Collection in Reservoir Areas 

      Gao, Pan; Du, Wangmiao; Yu, Hao; Zhao, Xu (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-14)
      The accumulation of floating debris is one of the main challenges of water conservancy projects, which may pollute the vulnerable ecosystem of the reservoir area and impose significant risks on waterway transportation and dam operations. Due to the dynamicity and uncertainty caused by water flow, the collection of floating debris is much more complicated than on-land waste collection. In this paper, ...
