Effective placement of charging stations plays a key role in Electric Vehicle (EV) adoption. In the placement problem, given a set of candidate sites, an optimal subset needs to be selected with respect to the concerns of both (a) the…
In many countries, a rail network consists of single lines with sidings where interactions between trains occur (meet, pass). In this paper, we study two issues of these networks: first, the scheduling of freight trains in a single line…
Railway networks have become increasingly important in recent times, especially in moving freight and public transportation from road traffic and planes to more environmentally friendly trains. Since expanding the global railway network is…
A massive use of electric vehicles is nowadays considered to be a key element of a sustainable transportation policy and the availability of charging stations is a crucial issue for their extensive use. Charging stations in an urban area…
Resource management and scheduling plays a crucial role in achieving high utilization of resources in grid computing environments. Due to heterogeneity of resources, scheduling an application is significantly complicated and challenging…
In the classical facility location problem we consider a graph $G$ with fixed weights on the edges of $G$. The goal is then to find an optimal positioning for a set of facilities on the graph with respect to some objective function. We…
Subway systems span most large cities, and railway networks most countries in the world. These networks are fundamental in the development of countries and their cities, and it is therefore crucial to understand their formation and…
In a carsharing system, a fleet of cars is distributed at stations in an urban area, customers can take and return cars at any time and station. For operating such a system in a satisfactory way, the stations have to keep a good ratio…
Renewable charging stations (RCSs) that co-locate electric-vehicle (EV) charging with distributed generation (DG) can raise renewable utilization and improve distribution-network (DN) efficiency, yet their variability and the…
A major barrier to wide adoption of Electric Vehicles (EVs) is the absence of reliable and equitable charging infrastructure. Poorly located charging stations create coverage gaps and slow down EV adoption, especially in underserved…
Battery electric freight trains are crucial for decarbonization by providing zero-emission transportation alternatives. The proper adoption of battery electric freight trains depends on an efficient battery electrification strategy,…
The resource recharging station location routing problem is a generalization of the location routing problem with sophisticated and critical resource consumption and recharging constraints. Based on a representation of discretized acyclic…
Ride-hailing is a sustainable transportation paradigm where riders access door-to-door traveling services through a mobile phone application, which has attracted a colossal amount of usage. There are two major planning tasks in a…
Routing algorithms for wireless sensor networks can be broadly divided into two classes - proactive and reactive. Proactive routing is suitable for a network with a fixed topology. On the other hand, reactive routing is more suitable for a…
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…
Rail is a cost-effective and relatively low-emission mode for transporting intermodal containers over long distances. This paper addresses tactical planning of intermodal railroad operations by introducing a new problem that simultaneously…
We consider some classical optimization problems in path planning and network transport, and we introduce new auction-based algorithms for their optimal and suboptimal solution. The algorithms are based on mathematical ideas that are…
In this paper, we study a facility location problem within a competitive market context, where customer demand is predicted by a random utility choice model. Unlike prior research, which primarily focuses on simple constraints such as a…
Fare planning is one among several steps in public transport planning. Fares are relevant for the covering of costs of the public transport operator, but also affect the ridership and the passenger satisfaction. A fare structure is the…
Because of the long planning periods and their long life cycle, railway infrastructure has to be outlined long ahead. At the present, the infrastructure is designed while only little about the intended operation is known. Hence, the…
