The combined increase of energy demand and environmental pollution at a global scale is entailing a rethinking of the production models in sustainable terms. As a consequence, energy suppliers are starting to adopt strategies that flatten…
Motivated by ride-sharing platforms' efforts to reduce their riders' wait times for a vehicle, this paper introduces a novel problem of placing vehicles to fulfill real-time pickup requests in a spatially and temporally changing…
This study focuses on order dispatch decisions within two-echelon supply chains, where order dispatch creates economic shipments to reduce delivery costs. Dispatching orders is often constrained by delivery windows, leading to penalty costs…
We consider a real-world cargo assembly planning problem arising in a coal supply chain. The cargoes are built on the stockyard at a port terminal from coal delivered by trains. Then the cargoes are loaded onto vessels. Only a limited…
During the loading phase of a vessel, only the containers that are on top of their stack are directly accessible. If the container that needs to be loaded next is not the top container, extra moves have to be performed, resulting in an…
We consider a project that consists of a set of activities performed in parallel under constraints on their start and finish times, including start-finish precedence relationships, release start times, release end times, and deadlines. The…
The considered problem is how to optimally allocate a set of jobs to technicians of different skills such that the number of technicians of each skill does not exceed the number of persons with that skill designation. The key motivation is…
Motivated by modern parallel computing applications, we consider the problem of scheduling parallel-task jobs with heterogeneous resource requirements in a cluster of machines. Each job consists of a set of tasks that can be processed in…
This thesis addressed the HHCRSP, which is a class of workforce scheduling problems. The HHCRSP is an extension of the VRPTW to which the constraints related to the HHC context are added. It aims to provide care services to patients at…
Optimizing schedules in real-world settings often requires considering workload constraints, specially for human resources, to ensure regulatory compliance, impose rest periods, or level the workload over the working horizon. This paper…
This paper approaches the application of the waiting model with Poisson inputs and priorities in the port activity. The arrival of ships in the maritime terminal is numerically modelled, and specific parameters for the distribution…
Ride-pooling has become an important service option offered by ride-hailing platforms as it serves multiple trip requests in a single ride. By leveraging customer data, connected vehicles, and efficient assignment algorithms, ride-pooling…
Efficient truck platooning is a key strategy for reducing freight costs, lowering fuel consumption, and mitigating emissions. Deadlines are critical in this context, as trucks must depart within specific time windows to meet delivery…
The Multiple-Depot Vehicle Scheduling Problem (MDVSP) is very important in the planning process of transport systems. It consists in assigning a set of trips to a set of vehicles in order to minimize a certain total cost. We introduce three…
The multi-vehicle covering tour problem with time windows (MCTPTW) aims to construct a set of maximal coverage routes for a fleet of vehicles that serve (observe) a secondary set of sites given a fixed time schedule, coverage requirements,…
In this study, a novel coordinative scheduling optimization approach is proposed to enhance port efficiency by reducing weighted average turnaround time. The proposed approach is developed as a heuristic algorithm applied and investigated…
Ride-sharing is a modern urban-mobility paradigm with tremendous potential in reducing congestion and pollution. Demand-aware design is a promising avenue for addressing a critical challenge in ride-sharing systems, namely joint…
Accurate travel time estimation is essential for navigation and itinerary planning. While existing research employs probabilistic modeling to assess travel time uncertainty and account for correlations between multiple trips, modeling the…
This paper addresses the challenge of planning a sequence of tasks to be performed by multiple robots while minimizing the overall completion time subject to timing and precedence constraints. Our approach uses the Timed Partial Orders…
This study presents optimization problems to jointly determine long-term network design, mid-term fleet sizing strategy, and short-term routing and ridesharing matching in shared autonomous vehicle (SAV) systems with pre-booked and…
