The optimization of the whole supply chain passes inevitably by better mastery of flow, especially the couple physical-informational flows. To do this, in this paper we present an approach for tracking and tracing flows of supply chain. Thus, we propose a data modeling for product traceability in the context of overall supply chain. Then, we present our approach to the integration of our traceability data based on the concept of semantic web services. Results are presented in the form of new ontologies for the description of traceability web services as well as for the actors of supply chain.

This paper deals with a developed digital control procedure used to regulate a halogen lamp. The digital process allowing the extraction of spectral irradiance characteristics was presented. Power consumption progress was given to determine the spectral intensity of 250W halogen lamp. To obtain these proprieties we use PIC18F family's microcontroller as a manager to operate the lamp in the appropriate conditions. The regulation of irradiance intensity was given in optimized procedure of current or voltage developed in embedded system.

Reverse logistics concept in the global scale has been already existing for about two decades. However, in Poland it is quite new one, not very popular and widespread. During the constant economy development and increasing market competition Polish enterprises are forced to seek for some modern solutions to improve their business activity and reverse logistics might be the answer for these aspirations for better performance. But the decision about reverse logistics processes implementation into practice of the company is not the easy one. During this kind of investment and after it, while maintenance, there might occur many barriers and obstacles hard to force and effective in preventing the good reverse logistics.

Query analysis is an important phase in image retrieval process especially for ambiguous queries. This paper describes a query analysis process that manages textual and visual queries. The main idea is to select the most appropriate concepts. For the textual part, we extract keywords. Then, we deduce the most relevant concepts related to such keyword by performing a semantic similarity computing based on ontology structure. A similar process is carried out on the visual part based on the associated annotation. The concept set deduced from each part are then merged. Finally, based on a semantic inter-concept graph, we attempt to refine the query by expanding or reweighting the concepts list. Our approach is evaluated in ImagCLEF2012 benchmark. The experiments show encouraging results.

The human resources represent the key performance of each component of the supply chain. In this context and in order to optimize these resources, this work deals with a problem of seafaring staff scheduling through the proposal of a mathematic formulation of this problem and an interactive decision support that is based on two approximate methods. It should be noted that the results was approved through a real data case collected from a maritime company called SONOTRAK.

In recent years, research in Supply Chain Management has experienced rapid progress and diversity in tools used by researchers. Due to lack of literature on SCM strategies in Morocco, we seek to study Moroccan firm's strategies in SCM using qualitative approach. This paper aims to offer understanding of the role of logistics in Moroccan companies. Thus, we have carried out a survey targeting several sectors considered as the most representative in Moroccan economy, in order to analyze their logistics function and to specify the degree of its importance in their strategic plans.

The government has identified road safety as an issue of vital importance, and recent research programs, such as those that have been launched by the PREDIT Task Group in France or those supported by the ANR (French National Research Agency), seek to develop "new knowledge for safety". Their objective is to take into account the sociotechnical system composed of "risks associated with transportation” on a larger scale. Given this context, it is necessary to go beyond the specific analysis of black dots and run a broader geographical analysis of traffic accidents, in connection with the development of the city. The objective here is to identify a combination of factors that produce dangerous situations and, in particular, to seek the structural causes of these accidents (infrastructure, urban environments, the distribution of functional areas that control the flow, etc.). The research presented here aims specifically to analyze traffic accidents linked to the characteristics of the daily mobility of people across the Urban Community of Lille (LMCU). Household Commute Surveys (EMD) conducted within local authorities provide valuable information on the mobility of people, but the accurate mapping of mobility alongside traffic accidents is hard to achieve. The approach seeks, first and foremost, to describe and map the areas of mobility in order to highlight the areas supporting many flows, and those that send or receive those flows, in accordance with the means and reasons for travel so as to examine the resulting accidents. Secondly, modeling flows on road networks must include the characteristics of the patterns of activity/travel of the households involved. Enquiries on accidents meeting various criteria can then be carried out within the qualified networks.

This paper presents a new mathematical model for the vehicle routing problem in the context of e-commerce, considering multiple types of products, vehicles, transport conditions and time windows. The main new idea is to assure the compatibility between product type and vehicle in order to satisfy transport conditions required. This problem can be defined as a Load-Specific problem. The main objective is to gain customer satisfaction by providing the right demand on time and on a good stat. To solve this model, new instances are generated and solved using Cplex 12.2.

The present study investigates the influence of hybridisation on energy consumption. Computer micro simulation modeling is used to determine the performance and fuel consumption of Toyota Prius vehicle. In this work, we have developed a micro-simulation tool which integrates microscopic models of energy consumption. First, we start by modeling microscopic behavior of vehicles where we use two microscopic models: the linear model for longitudinal moving and MOBIL (Minimizing Overall Braking Induced by Lane Changes) for lateral displacement in order to generate a real driving cycle which respects microscopic models rules. Then we implement two energy-consumption models which calculate energy consumption of the REV (hybrid electric vehicle) Toyota Prius vehicle and classical vehicle. The principal purposes are studying the hybridization's effects on fuel consumption for a real driving cycle.

The higher concentration of households and activities leads to increase the urban mobility and their associated negative externalities especially with a more use of private vehicles. In Tunisia, households tend to migrate from rural to urban areas and the motorization has known an important rise. The aim of this article is to examine the sustainability of road transport systems in Tunisian mega cities where the urban density is higher and negative externalities have become a serious problem for the population. To this end we examined the relationship between income and several environmental and social negative externalities of road traffic in Tunisia during the 1989-2008 periods by using the Environmental Kuznets Curve. Moreover, we examined the same relationship for the modal choices (private vehicles and public transportation) to study the impact of the urban mobility. Results indicated an inverted U-shape relationship for tow air pollutants: sulfur dioxide and suspended particulate matter. However, we found a monotonically rising carbon dioxide-income relationship and a downward curve with L-shaped for Nitrogen dioxide. For the rest of negative externalities, we detected a monotonically rising energy consumption-income relationship and an inverted U-shape relationship for accidents. Finally, we detected a monotonically rising for the income-use of private vehicles relationship. Some measures should be decided for the variables which EKC is not exist.
