Some of today's most significant challenges in urban environments concern individual mobility and rapid parcel delivery. With the surge of e-commerce and the ever-increasing volume of goods to be handled, new logistic solutions are in high…
In the school bus scheduling problem, the main contributing factor to the cost is the number of buses needed for the operations. However, in the case of subcontracting the transportation of pupils, unbalanced tours can increase the costs…
We study the Joint Routing-Assignment (JRA) problem in which items must be assigned one-to-one to placeholders while simultaneously determining a Hamiltonian cycle visiting all nodes exactly once. Extending previous exact MIP solvers with…
One-way car-sharing systems are transportation systems that allow customers to rent cars at stations scattered around the city, use them for a short journey, and return them at any station. The maximum customers' satisfaction problem…
Meal delivery services provided by platforms with integrated delivery systems are becoming increasingly popular. This paper adopts a rolling horizon approach to solve the meal delivery routing problem (MDRP). To improve delivery efficiency…
The static bike rebalancing problem (SBRP) concerns the task of repositioning bikes among stations in self-service bike-sharing systems. This problem can be seen as a variant of the one-commodity pickup and delivery vehicle routing problem,…
The rapid proliferation of omnichannel retail strategies has fundamentally transformed store replenishment operations in uncertain supply chain environments. With retail stores increasingly acting as hybrid fulfillment centers, pooled…
We propose an ML-based model that automates and expedites the solution of MIPs by predicting the values of variables. Our approach is motivated by the observation that many problem instances share salient features and solution structures…
We consider a single-echelon inventory system under periodic review with two suppliers facing stochastic demand, where excess demand is backlogged. The expedited supplier has a shorter lead time than the regular supplier but charges a…
Finding a feasible and prompt solution to the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) is a prerequisite for efficient freight transportation, seamless logistics, and sustainable mobility. Traditional optimization methods reach their limits when…
The Trigger Arc Traveling Salesman Problem (TA-TSP) extends the classical TSP by introducing dynamic arc costs that change when specific "trigger" arcs are traversed, modeling scenarios such as warehouse operations with compactable storage…
Recent studies and industry advancements indicate that modular vehicles (MVs) have the potential to enhance transportation systems through their ability to dock and split during a trip. Although various applications of MVs have been…
The increasing use of electric vehicles (EVs) requires efficient route planning solutions that take into account the limited range of EVs and the associated charging times, as well as the different types of charging stations. In this work,…
This research investigates a multi-product capacitated lot-sizing and scheduling problem incorporating a novel learning effect, namely the period-based learning effect. This is inspired by a real case in a core analysis laboratory under a…
We study the shipper-side design of large-scale inbound transportation networks, motivated by the global supply chain of the carmaker Renault. We formalize the Shipper Transportation Planning Problem (STPP), which integrates discrete flow…
Modular vehicles (MV) possess the ability to physically connect/disconnect with each other and travel in platoon with less energy consumption. A fleet of demand-responsive transit vehicles with such technology can serve passengers door to…
This paper introduces a novel control strategy to optimize urban network traffic in mixed autonomy settings, featuring Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs) alongside Human-Driven Vehicles (HDVs). Unlike previous control strategies, where…
Ridepooling services play an increasingly important role in modern transportation systems. With soaring demand and growing fleet sizes, the underlying route planning problems become increasingly challenging. In this context, we consider the…
Autonomous exploration in dynamic environments necessitates a planner that can proactively respond to changes and make efficient and safe decisions for robots. Although plenty of sampling-based works have shown success in exploring static…
We consider a problem in which a single repairer is responsible for the maintenance and repair of a collection of machines, positioned at different locations on a network of nodes and edges. Machines deteriorate according to stochastic…
