A traffic bottleneck is a localized disruption of vehicular traffic on a street, road, or highway. As opposed to a traffic jam, a bottleneck is a result of a specific physical condition, often the design of the road, badly timed traffic lights, or sharp curves. They can also be caused by temporary situations, such as vehicular accidents.
In graph algorithms, the widest path problem is the problem of finding a path between two designated vertices in a weighted graph, maximizing the weight of the minimum-weight edge in the path. The widest path problem is also known as the maximum capacity path problem. It is possible to adapt most shortest path algorithms to compute widest paths ...
In combinatorial optimization, a field within mathematics, the linear bottleneck assignment problem ( LBAP) is similar to the linear assignment problem. [1] In plain words the problem is stated as follows: There are a number of agents and a number of tasks. Any agent can be assigned to perform any task, incurring some cost that may vary ...
A bottleneck is the narrowed portion (neck) of a bottle near its opening, which limits the rate of outflow, or any object of a similar shape. The literal neck of a bottle was originally used to play what is now known as slide guitar. Metaphorically, the term may also be used as an analogy for any of the following implications of rate limitation ...
e. Throughput accounting (TA) is a principle-based and simplified management accounting approach that provides managers with decision support information for enterprise profitability improvement. TA is relatively new in management accounting. It is an approach that identifies factors that limit an organization from reaching its goal, and then ...
The Bottleneck traveling salesman problem ( bottleneck TSP) is a problem in discrete or combinatorial optimization. The problem is to find the Hamiltonian cycle (visiting each node exactly once) in a weighted graph which minimizes the weight of the highest-weight edge of the cycle. [1] It was first formulated by Gilmore & Gomory (1964) with ...
In production and project management, a bottleneck is a process in a chain of processes, such that its limited capacity reduces the capacity of the whole chain. The result of having a bottleneck are stalls in production, supply overstock, pressure from customers, and low employee morale. [1] There are both short and long-term bottlenecks.
Bottleneck (software) In software engineering, a bottleneck occurs when the capacity of an application or a computer system is limited by a single component, like the neck of a bottle slowing down the overall water flow. The bottleneck has the lowest throughput of all parts of the transaction path. System designers try to avoid bottlenecks ...
