Abstract: A computer implemented method for agent scheduling using a Mixed Integer Programming (MILP) model, and a Mixed Integer Programming and Search Heuristic (MILP&SH) algorithm. The MILP model of the invention comprises of an objective function, decision variables, and constraints expressing tour group and shift template rules and required staffing levels as equations and inequalities. The MILP&SH algorithm comprises of an MILP solution algorithm and a search heuristic. The MILP solution algorithm applied to the MILP model to generate a plurality of solutions. If a solution generated by the MILP solution algorithm is an integer feasible solution, the search heuristic generates agent schedules. If a solution is not an integer feasible solution, the steps of the search heuristic are executed to find an integer feasible solution. The search heuristic compares the objective function value for an integer feasible solution found with the objective value for the best solution.

Abstract: A method and system of simulating a cost of shipment are provided. A request for quote (RFQ) is received by a computing device from a shipper having a plurality of trade lanes. A revenue generated from each trade lane is estimated and ranked based on the estimated revenue. An original time limit is assigned to each trade lane. A trade lane with a highest ranking that has not yet been selected is selected. For the selected trade lane, graphs for space and time granularity analysis are generated. Space and time granularities that maximize accuracy within the assigned time limit based on the generated graphs are calculated. Cost simulation analysis is performed using the calculated space and time granularities. Upon determining that there are trade lanes not yet selected, there is a return to the act of selecting a trade lane.

Abstract: A method and system to assist people traveling together through a transport hub. Access to personal data is provided for members of a group of people traveling together through the transport hub for a trip. A preferred route is mapped, from a current location of the group, for each person to travel through the transport hub. A group route, which is route to be commonly used by each person of the group, is selected. Sub-groups of members are selected to travel through the transport hub together in response to matching personal data. The personal data, travel data for the group, and transport hub data corresponding to the transport hub are monitored. Each person is alerted, in response to the monitored values, to begin moving from the current location towards a departure location along the selected group route to arrive at the departure location at a desired arrival time.
