Transportation and Distribution
================================

PARIS, November 23, 1994 


Presenting applications at: 
 o Scandinavian Airlines System 
 o London Underground 
 o British Airways 
 o British Telecom 
 o Electrowatt Engineering 
 o Asea Brown Boveri 
 o British Rail 
 o IC-PARC 
 o EDF

This seminar will focus on the use of Prolog
technology in transportation and distribution,
including air, sea and road transportation. Key
application areas such as gate allocation, crew
scheduling, and maintenance activities, whereas
operations management systems are geared at
enabling companies to handle the
decision-making arising from disruptions to
schedules.

Air transportation companies have been using
Prolog technology for gate allocation, flight
scheduling, route planning, crew rostering,
maintenance, and yield and capacity planning.

Road haulage companies are also exploiting the
technology. For years the shipping industry has
been using the technology to schedule
everything from crew rostering to the loading
of freight at Hong Kong's main shipping
terminal.
