Dataset for the electric capacitated traveling salesman problem

The data are used for the Electric Capacitated Travelling Salesman Problem (EC-TSP) as they are described in the article entitled Dataset for the electric capacitated traveling salesman problem. This dataset has been used for the assessment of e-cargo bikes versus typical delivery vans in terms of operational efficiency and CO2e emissions. The excel (.xlsx) files include 18 realistic datasets (9 datasets for goods’ delivery via vans and 9 datasets for e-cargo bikes deliveries) which reflect the distribution process of retail products. All the data regarding delivery demands, e-cargo capacities, travel and service times have been generated by using real-life data from a retail company that owns physical stores in the city centers of Athens, Thessaloniki, Patra and Larisa in Greece and provides cargo-bike deliveries for e-commerce clients. Finally, the word (.doc) file is the explanation memo for the excel files.THIS DATASET IS ARCHIVED AT DANS/EASY, BUT NOT ACCESSIBLE HERE.

An innovative approach to entrepreneurship in higher and secondary education: Cultural routes and economy of experience - A case study

The aim of the present study is to present how social entrepreneurship can find its place in higher and secondary education by involving students, through experiential learning, in the creative development of solutions for sustainable development of an area with rich cultural heritage. To this end, the present study followed the qualitative research method and constitutes a case-study of the town of Orchomenus in Boeotia, Greece. This case-study is based on field-research at the important historical monuments of the area organised by the DIAZOMA Association and the Teacher Education Program of Athens University of Economics and Business. Proposals made by groups of the student-teachers were formed through the research method and aimed at exploiting the rich heritage of the area in favour of its financial and cultural development, and showed that students' ideas were diverse, following objective and realistic criteria that responded to the needs and prospects of Orchomenus town. The study is the first of its kind in Greece and abroad, as it introduces for the first time the way students can learn the notions of social entrepreneurship and cultural sustainability through field-research and the project method.
