With the rapid development of airlines, airports today become much busier and more complicated than previous days. During airlines daily operations, assigning the available gates to the arriving aircrafts based on the fixed schedule is a…
Airport gate assignment is of great importance in airport operations. In this paper, we study the Airport Gate Assignment Problem (AGAP), propose a new model and implement the model with Optimization Programming language (OPL). With the…
An important passenger service area that has an impact on passenger satisfaction and airport revenue is the check-in counters. The check-in counter allocation problem consists of allocating adjacent counters to airlines at an airport and…
This study introduces the Box Allocation Problem (BAP), a novel optimization challenge in the $1.4 billion UK meal kit delivery market. BAP involves assigning orders across multiple production facilities to minimize daily recipe variations…
In this paper, we investigate a special case of the static aircraft landing problem (ALP) with the objective to optimize landing sequences and landing times for a set of air planes. The problem is to land the planes on one or multiple…
In airport operations, optimally using dedicated personnel for baggage handling tasks plays a crucial role in the design of resource-efficient processes. Teams of workers with different qualifications must be formed, and loading or…
Disruptions are inevitable during airline operations, and disruptions cost airlines and the traveling public. Disruption recovery decisions are often made in a sequential process that includes flight rescheduling, aircraft rerouting, crew…
In this paper, we study a problem that integrates the vessel scheduling problem with the berth allocation into a collaborative problem denoted as the multi-port continuous berth allocation problem (MCBAP). This problem optimizes the berth…
On-time performance is a critical challenge in the airline industry, leading to large operational and customer dissatisfaction costs. The tail assignment problem builds the sequences of flights or routes followed by individual airplanes.…
The distribution of relief supplies to shelters is a critical aspect of post-disaster humanitarian logistics. In major disasters, prepositioned supplies often fall short of meeting all demands. We address the problem of planning vehicle…
Highly populated cities face several challenges, one of them being the intense traffic congestion. In recent years, the concept of Urban Air Mobility has been put forward by large companies and organizations as a way to address this…
In this paper, we provide a column generation-based approach for solving the airport flight-to-gate assignment problem, where the goal is to minimize the on-ground portion of arrival delays by optimally assigning each scheduled flight to a…
We propose exact solution approaches for a lateral transhipment problem which, given a pre-specified sequence of customers, seeks an optimal inventory redistribution plan considering travel costs and profits dependent on inventory levels.…
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…
The bilinear assignment problem (BAP) is a generalization of the well-known quadratic assignment problem (QAP). In this paper, we study the problem from the computational analysis point of view. Several classes of neigborhood structures are…
Aircraft and crew are two major resources that ensure the smooth operations of airlines. However, with the anticipated growth in the aviation industry, the crew resource is predicted to be insufficient worldwide and has been one of the…
Robust charging schedules in a growing market of battery electric bus (BEB) fleets are a critical component to successful adoption. In this paper, a BEB charging scheduling framework that considers spatiotemporal schedule constraints, route…
In a co-design environment changes need to be integrated quickly and in an automated manner. This paper considers the challenge of creating and optimizing a global logistics system for the construction of a passenger aircraft within a…
This paper introduces the Packing While Traveling problem as a new non-linear knapsack problem. Given are a set of cities that have a set of items of distinct profits and weights and a vehicle that may collect the items when visiting all…
We introduce and study a novel generalization of the classical Bin Packing Problem (BPP), called the Bin Packing Problem with Setups (BPPS). In this problem, which has many practical applications in production planning and logistics, the…
