This paper focuses on automatic guided vehicle (AGV) trajectory planning in the presence of moving obstacles with known but complicated trajectories. In order to achieve good solution precision, optimality and unification, the concerned…
Public transport networks(PTNs)are difficult to use when the user is unfamiliar with the area they are traveling to.This is true for both infrequent users(including visitors)and regular users who need to travel to areas with which they are…
It is well established that the performance of reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-assisted systems critically depends on the optimal placement of the RIS. Previous works consider either simple coverage maximization or simultaneous…
In this paper, we study a variant of the dynamic ridesharing problem with a specific focus on peak hours: Given a set of drivers and rider requests, we aim to match drivers to each rider request by achieving two objectives: maximizing the…
We consider the classic facility location problem in fully dynamic data streams, where elements can be both inserted and deleted. In this problem, one is interested in maintaining a stable and high quality solution throughout the data…
This paper addresses the minmax regret 1-sink location problem on dynamic flow path networks with parametric weights. We are given a dynamic flow network consisting of an undirected path with positive edge lengths, positive edge capacities,…
Location Routing is a fundamental planning problem in logistics, in which strategic location decisions on the placement of facilities (depots, distribution centers, warehouses etc.) are taken based on accurate estimates of operational…
This paper considers the problem of designing the user trajectory in a device-to-device communications setting. We consider a pair of pedestrians connected through a D2D link. The pedestrians seek to reach their respective destinations…
We consider emergent situations that require transporting individuals from their locations to a facility using a single capacitated vehicle, where transportation duration has a negative impact on the individuals. A dispatcher determines…
One of the key issues in mobile communication is to find the current location of mobile terminal (MT) to deliver the services, which is called as location management (LM). Increasing users and diverse services demand for a high-quality…
This paper studies a stochastic congested location problem in the network of a service system that consists of facilities to be established in a finite number of candidate locations. Population zones allocated to each open service facility…
Motivated by emerging urban applications in commercial, public sector, and humanitarian logistics, we revisit continuous $p$-hub location problems in which several facilities must be located in a continuous space such that the expected…
We revisit the discrete heterogeneous two-facility location problem, in which there is a set of agents that occupy nodes of a line graph, and have private approval preferences over two facilities. When the facilities are located at some…
5G networks are going to support a variety of vertical services, with a diverse set of key performance indicators (KPIs), by using enabling technologies such as software-defined networking and network function virtualization. It is the…
While motion planning approaches for automated driving often focus on safety and mathematical optimality with respect to technical parameters, they barely consider convenience, perceived safety for the passenger and comprehensibility for…
Navigating mobile robots through environments shared with humans is challenging. From the perspective of the robot, humans are dynamic obstacles that must be avoided. These obstacles make the collision-free space nonconvex, which leads to…
In this paper, a novel transport planning model system (TPMS) is formulated which is built on the concepts of supernetworks, multi-modality, integrity and calibration. In the proposed formulation, activity travel pattern (ATP) choice facets…
Shifting travel from private cars to public transport is critical for meeting climate and related mobility goals, yet passengers will only choose transit if it offers a consistently positive experience. Previous studies of passenger…
Optimal path planning is prone to convergence to local, rather than global, optima. This is often the case for mobile manipulators due to nonconvexities induced by obstacles, robot kinematics and constraints. This paper focuses on planning…
A new approach to the static route planning problem, based on a multi-staging concept and a \emph{scope} notion, is presented. The main goal (besides implied efficiency of planning) of our approach is to address---with a solid theoretical…
