We consider the scheduling of the annual maintenance for the Hunter Valley Coal Chain.
The coal chain is a system comprising load points, railway track and different types of …

We consider a problem that marries network flows and scheduling, motivated by the need to
schedule maintenance activities in infrastructure networks, such as rail or general logistics …

Maintenance activities are inevitable and costly in integrated mining operations. Conducting
maintenance may require the whole system, or sub-units of the system, to be shut down …

We study the problem of scheduling maintenance on arcs of a capacitated network so as to
maximize the total flow from a source node to a sink node over a set of time periods …

We investigate a novel scheduling problem which is motivated by an application in the
Australian railway industry. Given a set of maintenance jobs and a set of train paths over a …

Preventive maintenance is the main cause of interruptions of many real-world systems, such
as communication, energy and logistics networks. Proper maintenance scheduling can …

The network maintenance problem is motivated by the need to maintain infrastructure
networks over time. We consider networks in which a commodity is transported between …

Many real world complex systems such as telecommunication systems, production systems
and water supply networks can often be modelled as capacitated flow networks. Such …

In this thesis, we describe an optimisation problem motivated by the need to maintain
infrastructure networks over time. We consider infrastructure networks in which a product is …

We present a hybrid tabu search and integer linear programming method for the maximum
total flow with flexible arc outages (MaxTFFAO). The MaxTFFAO problem is motivated from …
