Motivated by distribution problems arising in the supply chain of Haleon, we investigate a discrete optimization problem that we call the "container delivery scheduling problem". The problem models a supplier dispatching ordered products…
Truck platooning is a promising transportation mode in which several trucks drive together and thus save fuel consumption by suffering less air resistance. In this paper, we consider a truck platooning system for which we jointly optimize…
Motion planning for multi-jointed robots is challenging. Due to the inherent complexity of the problem, most existing works decompose motion planning as easier subproblems. However, because of the inconsistent performance metrics, only…
The notion of 'resource' plays an important role in the overall efficiency and performance of most cross-docks. The processing time can often be described in terms of the resources allocated to different trucks. Conversely, for a given…
We present methods that generate cooperative strategies for multi-vehicle control problems using a decomposition approach. By introducing a set of tasks to be completed by the team of vehicles and a task execution method for each vehicle,…
Platooning of vehicles is a promising approach for reducing fuel consumption, increasing vehicle safety, and using road space more efficiently. We consider the important but difficult problem of assigning optimal routes and departure…
With the advent of self-driving cars, experts envision autonomous mobility-on-demand services in the near future to cope with overloaded transportation systems in cities worldwide. Efficient operations are imperative to unlock such a…
For solving problems from the domain of Mobility-on-Demand (MoD), we often need to connect vehicle plans into plans spanning longer time, a process we call plan chaining. As we show in this work, chaining of the plans can be used to reduce…
This paper presents a scalable solution with adjustable computation time for the joint problem of scheduling and assigning machines and transporters for missions that must be completed in a fixed order of operations across multiple stages.…
This paper investigates the scheduling problem of a fleet of electric vehicles, providing mobility as a service to a set of time-specified customers, where the operator needs to solve the routing and charging problem jointly for each EV.…
In this paper, we propose a model to schedule the next 24 hours of operations in a bulk cargo port to unload bulk cargo trains onto stockpiles. It is a problem that includes multiple parts such as splitting long trains into shorter ones and…

The railway timetables are designed in an optimal manner to maximize the capacity usage of the infrastructure concerning different objectives besides avoiding conflicts. The real-time railway traffic management problem occurs when the…
The Container Relocation Problem (CRP) is concerned with finding a sequence of moves of containers that minimizes the number of relocations needed to retrieve all containers respecting a given order of retrieval. While the problem is known…
This article presents an overview of a research study of a crucial optimization problem in the Computer Science/Operations research field: The Job-shop Scheduling Problem (JSP). The JSP is a challenging task in which a set of operations…
Real-time end-to-end task scheduling in networked control systems (NCSs) requires the joint consideration of both network and computing resources to guarantee the desired quality of service (QoS). This paper introduces a new model for…
We consider robust tactical crew scheduling for a large passenger railway operator, who aims to inform crew early on about their work schedules while also maintaining the ability to respond to changes in the daily timetables. To resolve…
The intelligent upgrading of metropolitan rail transit systems has made it feasible to implement demand-side management policies that integrate multiple operational strategies in practical operations. However, the tight interdependence…
This paper addresses the problem of planning successive Space Debris Collecting missions so that they can be achieved at minimal cost by a generic vehicle. The problem mixes combinatorial optimization to select and order the debris among a…
Periodic timetables are widely adopted in passenger railway operations due to their regular service patterns and well-coordinated train connections. However, fluctuations in passenger demand require varying train services across different…
