Real-time optimisation, scheduling and logistics
Pioneering optimisation solutions for remote engineering
Intelligent automation technologies are critical for remote engineering projects. They route vehicles, control storage, schedule labour and resources, organise maintenance and respond to unforeseen events.
This group’s research develops optimisation, scheduling and control solutions for the mining and offshore extraction sectors and associated operations, such as transport, energy supply and the servicing of remote communities.
With a strong focus on real-time optimisation, this group devises new ways for work plans and models to be rapidly adapted as needed.

Project description:
Real-time optimisation and scheduling is a challenging task in developing intelligent automation technologies. Its implementation can be in the shape of routing vehicles, controlling storage, scheduling labour, organising maintenance, allocating resources and responding to unforeseen events.
The major Western Australian industries collaborate with The University of Western Australia in this area are in following sectors: transport, energy supply, servicing remote communities, mining and offshore extraction.
The focus of research in this area is to devise new state of the art strategies for work plans and models to be rapidly adapted as needed.
PhD Applicant Eligibility Criteria:
Applicants are required to meet the standard admissions requirements as determined by the Graduate Research School.
