    • Cost-effective pallet management strategies 

      Roy, Debjit; Carrano, Andres L.; Pazour, Jennifer A.; Gupta, Akash (Elsevier Ltd, 2016)
      The existing industry strategies for managing pallets, (single-use expendable pallets, buy/sell programs, and leased pallet pooling programs), are analyzed and compared using push and pull inventory control policies. A ...
    • Improving service system performance using estimates of waiting time probabilities 

      Roy, Debjit; Gupta, Akash; Pazour, Jennifer A. (International. Journal. of Automation and Logistics, 2014)
      Queue length distributions provide insight into the impact of service system design changes that go beyond simple performance measure averages; however, such distributions are difficult to estimate when service times are ...
    • A non-linear traffic flow-based queuing model to estimate container terminal throughput with AGVs 

      Roy, Debjit; Gupta, Akash; Koster, Rene B.M, De (Taylor & Francis, 2016)
      Efficient handling of containers at a terminal can reduce the overall vessel sojourn times and minimise operational costs. The internal transport of containers in these terminals is performed by vehicles that share a common ...
    • Optimal stack layout in a sea container terminal with automated lifting vehicles 

      Roy, Debjit; Parhi, Sampanna; Gupta, Akash; Parhi, Sampanna (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2017)
      Container terminal performance is largely determined by its design decisions, which include the number and type of quay cranes, stack cranes, transport vehicles, vehicle travel path and stack layout. We investigate the ...
