A methodology is proposed for freight traffic assignment in large-scale road-rail intermodal networks. To obtain the user-equilibrium freight flows, a path-based assignment algorithm (gradient projection) was proposed. The developed…
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…
An essential issue that a freight transportation system faced is how to deliver shipments (OD pairs) on a capacitated physical network optimally; that is, to determine the best physical path for each OD pair and assign each OD pair into the…
This paper presents a methodology for freight traffic assignment in a large-scale road-rail intermodal network under uncertainty. Network uncertainties caused by natural disasters have dramatically increased in recent years. Several of…
The Integer Multicommodity Flow problem has been studied extensively in the literature. However, from a parameterised perspective, mostly special cases, such as the Disjoint Paths problem, have been considered. Therefore, we investigate the…
Flow maps are thematic maps that visualize object movements across space with a tree layout, in which the underlying tree structure is similar to a natural river system. In this paper, we present a novel and automated approach named RFDA-FM…
In unsplittable network flow problems, certain nodes must satisfy a combinatorial requirement that the incoming arc flows cannot be split or merged when routed through outgoing arcs. This so-called "no-split no-merge" requirement arises in…
Packet routing is a fundamental problem in communication networks that decides how the packets are directed from their source nodes to their destination nodes through some intermediate nodes. With the increasing complexity of network…
Random Forests (RF) is a popular machine learning method for classification and regression problems. It involves a bagging application to decision tree models. One of the primary advantages of the Random Forests model is the reduction in…
The traditional multi-commodity flow problem assumes a given flow network in which multiple commodities are to be maximally routed in response to given demands. This paper considers the multi-commodity flow network-design problem: given a…
This paper studies the problem of optimizing the train formation plan and traffic routing (TFP&TR) simultaneously. Based on the previous research of TFP&TR with determinate parameters, we consider the fluctuation of flows and associate the…
We consider network design problems for information networks where routers can replicate data but cannot alter it. This functionality allows the network to eliminate data-redundancy in traffic, thereby saving on routing costs. We consider…
Classification yards are crucial nodes of railway freight transportation network, which plays a vital role in car flow reclassification and new train formation. Generally, a modern yard covers an expanse of several square kilometers and…
Transport networks are crucial to the functioning of natural and technological systems. Nature features transport networks that are adaptive over a vast range of parameters, thus providing an impressive level of robustness in supply.…
Freight train services in a railway network system are generally divided into two categories: one is the unscheduled train, whose operating frequency fluctuates with origin-destination (OD) demands; the other is the scheduled train, which…
Various modifications of decision trees have been extensively used during the past years due to their high efficiency and interpretability. Tree node splitting based on relevant feature selection is a key step of decision tree learning, at…
Scheduling is an important task allowing parallel systems to perform efficiently and reliably. For modern computation systems, divisible load is a special type of data which can be divided into arbitrary sizes and independently processed in…
Material flow analyses (MFAs) provide insight into supply chain level opportunities for resource efficiency. MFAs can be represented as networks with nodes that represent materials, processes, sectors or locations. MFA network structure…
Distribution systems hold a very significant position in the power system since it is the main point of link between bulk power and consumers. A planned and effective distribution network is the key to cope up with the ever increasing…
Flow Matching is typically built from Gaussian sources and Euclidean probability paths. For heavy-tailed or anisotropic data, however, a Gaussian source induces a structural mismatch already at the level of the radial distribution. We…
