Disruption : a new component in the track inspection schedule (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Osman, M., Kaewunruen, S., An, M., & Dindar, S. (2016, August). Disruption : a new component in the track inspection schedule. Presented at 2016 IEEE International Conference on Intelligent Rail Transportation (ICIRT), Birmingham, UK

Disruptions can occur during the execution of any schedule or plan. Both minor and major disruptions must be handled properly, because they have the potential to cause deviation from the original schedule's main goals. In rail track inspection schedu...

Disruption management of resource schedule in transportation sector : understanding the concept and strategy (2016)
Journal Article
Osman, M., Kaewunruen, S., An, M., & Dindar, S. (2016). Disruption management of resource schedule in transportation sector : understanding the concept and strategy. Procedia Engineering, 161(2016), 1295-1299. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.proeng.2016.08.592

Disruption in a schedule (or plan) can be managed but not all factors are visible. A study of disruption management is performed specifically to minimize the differences between the expected and actual context of execution. The purpose of this paper...
