Public charging infrastructure plays a crucial role in the context of electrifying the private mobility sector in particular for urban regions. Against this background, we develop a new mathematical model for the optimal placement of public…

We study the strategic decision-making problem of assigning time windows to customers in the context of vehicle routing applications that are affected by operational uncertainty. This problem, known as the Time Window Assignment Vehicle…

With the widespread use of shared-nothing clusters of servers, there has been a proliferation of distributed object stores that offer high availability, reliability and enhanced performance for MapReduce-style workloads. However, relational…

Efficient cargo packing and transport unit stacking play a vital role in enhancing logistics efficiency and reducing costs in the field of logistics. This article focuses on the challenging problem of loading transport units onto pallets,…

Some large freight railroads ship a number of shipments over the rail network annually. To reduce unnecessary reclassifications of shipments on their routes, each railroad is willing to operate the entire train for an individual shipment.…

Background: The development of public transit network can enhance the efficiency of the system as well as raise interest to use the system. Feeder bus service fills the area that is far from the railway system; therefore, designing a feeder…

While much of network design focuses mostly on cost (number or weight of edges), node degrees have also played an important role. They have traditionally either appeared as an objective, to minimize the maximum degree (e.g., the Minimum…

This paper addresses the single-assignment, uncapacitated, multi-level facility location (MFL) problem, a strategic decision-making process critical to the design of long-term supply chain networks. Specifically, we examine four- and…

Mobility-on-Demand (MoD) systems have become a fixture in urban transportation networks, with the rapid growth of ride-hailing services such as Uber and Lyft. Ride-hailing is typically complemented with ridepooling options, which can reduce…

Multi-label classification is a type of supervised machine learning that can simultaneously assign multiple labels to an instance. To solve this task, some methods divide the original problem into several sub-problems (local approach),…

In this paper, we propose a novel, computational efficient, dynamic ridesharing algorithm. The beneficial computational properties of the algorithm arise from casting the ridesharing problem as a linear assignment problem between fleet…

We consider the following two deterministic inventory optimization problems over a finite planning horizon $T$ with non-stationary demands. (a) Submodular Joint Replenishment Problem: This involves multiple item types and a single retailer…

Finding an optimal alignment connecting two end-points in a specified corridor is a complex problem that requires solving three interrelated sub-problems, namely the horizontal alignment, vertical alignment and earthwork optimization…
