  • Are stacker crane problems easy? 
    Srour, F. Jordan; Van De Velde, Steef (2015-10-21)
    Many full truckload pick-up and delivery problems in the intermodal freight container transport industry can be modeled as Asymmetric Traveling Salesman Problems (ATSPs). Several authors have noted that while ATSPs are ...
  • Assessing maritime customs process re-engineering using agent-based simulation 
    Srour, F. Jordan; Yorke-Smith, Neil (International Foundation for Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems, 2017-12-20)
    Case studies report that corruption is not easily combated by policy changes, and that reform policies can have unexpected side-effects in practice. Using agent-based simulation, this paper studies potential anti-corruption ...
  • A case study in model selection for policy engineering 
    Harb, Hassan; Srour, F. Jordan; Yorke-Smith, Neil (Springer, 2018-01-03)
    The progress of containers through customs is more often an exercise in negotiation rather than a structured queuing process. As soon as a regulatory process involves negotiation, corruption becomes a factor. Studies by ...
  • Construction workforce management strategies to reduce absenteeism 
    Lattouf, M. Ghayth; Srour, F. Jordan; Srour, Issam M. (American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018-01-19)
    Strategic workforce management decisions (e.g., hiring, training, and staffing) have a direct effect on the cost, schedule, and quality of work. This paper presents the preliminary findings of a survey of construction/site ...
  • Emergency management system design for accurate data: a cognitive analytics management approach 
    Tarhini, Abbas; Balozain, Puzant; Srour, F. Jordan (2023-05-17)
    Purpose This paper uses a cognitive analytics management approach to analyze, understand and solve the problems facing the implementation of information systems and help management do the needed changes to enhance such a ...
  • Exploring the system dynamics of COVID-19 and reconfiguration of emergency medical services 
    Ali, Muhammad K.; Srour, F. Jordan; Badr, Nabil Georges; Tarhini, Abbas (2023-05-29)
    Emergency Medical Services (EMS) are essential to the medical healthcare landscape. EMS play a crucial role in maximizing the overall expected survival probability of patients with various health emergencies. During the ...
  • Freight-specific data derived from intelligent transportation systems 
    Srour, F. Jordan; Newton, Diane (2015-10-20)
    Freight planning is an increasingly visible topic in the arena of transportation planning. Freight planning metrics and benchmarks can help state agencies select and assess the impact of improvement projects with respect ...
  • How much is location information worth? 
    Srour, F. Jordan; Zuidwijk, Rob (Erasmus Research Institute of Management, 2018-01-08)
    In this paper we derive the worst-case ratio of an online algorithm for the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) with two disclosure dates. This problem, a variant of the online TSP with release dates, is characterized by the ...
  • Incorporating expert knowledge in decision support for logistics 
    Mahr, Tamas; De Weerdt, Mathijs; Srour, F. Jordan; Zuidwijk, Rob (TRAIL Research School, 2017-12-21)
    Decision support within transport companies should not only use traditional objective functions, but also reason about qualitative effects on all involved actors. We propose a fuzzy logic rule base that can be used in ...
  • Integrating data collection optimization into pavement management systems 
    Bazi, Gabriel; El Khoury, John; Srour, F. Jordan (2017-10-12)
    This paper describes a method for using location data to optimize the routing of pavement data collection vehicles. In much of the developed world, pavement testing is performed on a regular basis; the pavement testing ...
  • Learning curves in construction 
    Srour, F. Jordan; Kiomjian, Daoud; Srour, Issam M. (2016-10-26)
    This paper brings forth from the literature a series of learning curve models and evaluates them through the lens of the construction industry. The review suggests that there is still no consensus on which model provides ...
  • MIPLIB truckload PDPTW instances derived from a real-world drayage case 
    Srour, F. Jordan; Mahr, Tamas; De Weerdt, Mathijs; Zuidwijk, Rob (Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM), 2018-01-10)
    This paper describes five sets of 33 Mixed Integer Problem instances each, for a total of 165 instances, derived from a real-world full-truckload pick-up and delivery problem with time windows at the Port of Rotterdam. ...
  • Multi agent systems in logistics 
    Lang, Niels; Moonen, Hans M.; Srour, F. Jordan; Zuidwijk, Rob A. (Erasmus Research Institute of Management, Erasmus University, 2018-01-04)
    Based on a literature survey, we aim to answer our main question: “How should we plan and execute logistics in supply chains that aim to meet today’s requirements, and how can we support such planning and execution using ...
  • New enumeration algorithm for regular boolean functions 
    Nasrallah, Walid F.; Srour, F. Jordan (2018-01-09)
    This paper introduces a new algorithm for enumerating regular Boolean functions. This algorithm exploits the equivalence between regular Boolean functions and positive threshold functions that can be used to represent ...
  • Optimal or agile?: Tradeoffs between optimization and agent-based methods 
    Ketter, Wolfgang; Srour, F. Jordan (2015-10-20)
  • Port community system implementation 
    Srour, F. Jordan; Van Oosterhout, Marcel; Van Baalen, Peter; Zuidwijk, Rob (Transportation Research Board, 2017-12-19)
    Port community systems (PCSs) can be defined as holistic, geographically bounded information hubs in global supply chains that primarily serve the interest of a heterogeneous collective of port related companies. These ...
  • A practical routing model for optimized pavement data collection 
    Bazi, Gabriel; El Khoury, John; Srour, F. Jordan (SSRN, 2017-07-07)
    Federal laws require regular condition reporting for portions of the national highway system. Most agencies use instrumented vehicles to collect data on and report the required information. The routing of these vehicles, ...
  • Pre-hospital care metrics as reflected in lebanese red cross ambulance response data, fourth quarter, 2016 
    Srour, F. Jordan; Jabr, Nabih (2018-01-19)
    This document reports data from the Lebanese red Cross regarding calls received for ambulance services in 2016. The primary aim of this report is to illustrate facets of the pre-hospital care system in Lebanon via data ...
  • Quality and learning 
    Kiomjian, Daoud; Srour, F. Jordan; Srour, Issam (American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018-01-02)
    Several studies recognize the existence of a relationship between learning and experience, on one hand, and productivity and quality of work, on the other hand. This paper examines, through the use of a case study, the ...
  • Strategies for handling temporal uncertainty in pickup and delivery problems with time windows 
    Srour, F. Jordan; Agatz, Niels; Oppen, Johan (2016-10-26)
    In many real-life routing problems there is more uncertainty with respect to the required timing of the service than with respect to the service locations. We focus on a pickup and delivery problem with time windows in ...
