We study a routing and appointment scheduling problem with uncertain service and travel times arising from home service practice. Specifically, given a set of customers within a service region that an operator needs to serve, we seek to…
Hydrogen is an energy vector, and one possible way to reduce CO 2 emissions. This paper focuses on a hydrogen transport problem where mobile storage units are moved by trucks between sources to be refilled and destinations to meet demands,…
Scheduling and managing queues with bounded buffers are among the most fundamental problems in computer networking. Traditionally, it is often assumed that all the properties of each packet are known immediately upon arrival. However, as…
Human awareness in robot motion planning is crucial for seamless interaction with humans. Many existing techniques slow down, stop, or change the robot's trajectory locally to avoid collisions with humans. Although using the information on…
Flow-based methods for sampling and generative modeling use continuous-time dynamical systems to represent a {transport map} that pushes forward a source measure to a target measure. The introduction of a time axis provides considerable…
The problem of maximizing the probability of two trucks being coordinated to merge into a platoon on a highway is considered. Truck platooning is a promising technology that allows heavy vehicles to save fuel by driving with small…
The NP-hard scheduling problem P||C_max encompasses a set of tasks with known execution time which must be mapped to a set of identical machines such that the overall completion time is minimized. In this work, we improve existing…
Paper cutting is a simple process of slicing large rolls of paper, jumbo-reels, into various sub-rolls with variable widths based on demands risen by customers. Since the variability is high due to collected various orders into a pool, the…
We consider algorithms to schedule packets with values and deadlines in a size-bounded buffer. At any time, the buffer can store at most B packets. Packets arrive over time. Each packet has a non-negative value and an integer deadline. In…
In this work, we consider a scheduling problem faced by production companies with large electricity consumption. Due to the contract with the electric utility, the production companies are obligated to comply with the total energy…
Optimization of on-demand transportation systems and ride-sharing services involves solving a class of complex vehicle routing problems with pickup and delivery with time windows (VRPPDTW). This paper first proposes a new time-discretized…
This paper addresses a production scheduling problem derived from an industrial use case, focusing on unrelated parallel machine scheduling with the personnel availability constraint. The proposed model optimizes the production plan over a…
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…
This paper introduces the School Bus Routing Problem with Open Offer Policy (SBRP-OOP) that seeks to improve capacity usage and minimize the bus fleet by openly offering a monetary incentive to students willing to opt out of using a bus. We…
Bus bunching is a natural-occurring phenomenon that undermines the efficiency and stability of the public transportation system. The mainstream solutions control the bus to intentionally stay longer at certain stations. Existing control…
This paper presents a centralized recursive optimal scheduling method for a battery system that consists of parallel connected battery modules with different open circuit voltages and battery impedance characteristics. Examples of such a…
Bus bunching is a curse of transportation systems such as buses in a loop. Here we present an analytical method to find the number of revolutions before two buses bunch in an idealised system, as a function of the initial distance and the…
The global transition to battery electric buses (EBs) presents an opportunity to reduce air and noise pollution in urban areas. However, the adoption of EBs introduces challenges related to limited driving range, extended charging times,…
Industrial manipulators have extensively collaborated with human operators to execute tasks, e.g., disassembly of end-of-use products, in intelligent remanufacturing. A safety task execution requires real-time path planning for the…
In this paper, we address the Bounded Cardinality Hub Location Routing with Route Capacity wherein each hub acts as a transshipment node for one directed route. The number of hubs lies between a minimum and a maximum and the hub-level…
