To share
- NextBUZZ, a scheme by which buses spontaneously
coördinate themselves on a route to equalize headways. This now controls all the bus
routes on the Georgia Tech campus.
- The global network
of container shipping
- Warehouse & Distribution Science, a free textbook and more.
- Bucket brigades, a self-organizing protocol for sharing
work on an assembly-line. (This has been especially successful in organizing order-pickers
in warehouses.)
- Software to visualize, analyze, optimize, warehouse operations.
- A routing system you can build in a day on two Rolodex card files. It
is based on spacefilling curves and is in use commercially.
