Hub location Problems seek to find hub facilities and assign non-hub nodes to them in such a way that the flow between origin and destination should be effectively established according to the desired goal. In general, in the literature of…
This work studies the effect of hub congestion and time-sensitive demand on a hub-and-spoke location/allocation system. The Hub Location with Congestion and Time-sensitive Demand Problem is introduced, which combines these two main…
Last-mile delivery in the logistics chain contributes to emissions and increased congestion. Crowd-shipping is a sustainable and low-cost alternative to traditional delivery, but relies heavily on the availability of occasional couriers. In…
We propose a joint model that links the strategic level location and capacity decisions with the operational level routing and hub assignment decisions to solve hub network design problem with congestion and heterogeneous economics of…
Many vehicles spend a significant amount of time in urban traffic congestion. Due to the evolution of autonomous cars, driver assistance systems, and in-vehicle entertainment, many vehicles have plentiful computational and communication…
In this study, we propose a three-stage framework for the planning and scheduling of high-capacity mobility-on-demand services (e.g., micro transit and flexible transit) at urban activity hubs. The proposed framework consists of (1) the…
Interest in the analysis of networks has grown rapidly in the new millennium. Consequently, we promote renewed attention to a certain methodological approach introduced in 1974. Over the succeeding decade, this…
Supply chain network is critical to serving customers, so the most common practices are to determine the number, location, and capacity of facilities. But at the same time, uncertainties and risks must be taken into account in order to…
Numerous networks, such as transportation, distribution and delivery networks optimize their designs in order to increase efficiency and lower costs, improving the stability of its intended functions, etc. Networks that distribute goods,…
This paper introduces a new formulation and solution framework for hub location problems. The formulation is based on 2-index aggregated flow variables and incorporates a set of aggregated demand constraints, which are novel in hub…
This study focuses on the design and development of methods for generating cargo distribution plans for large-scale logistics networks. It uses data from three large logistics operators while focusing on cross border logistics operations…
In this paper we propose an extension of the Uncapacitated Hub Location Problem where the potential positions of the hubs are not fixed in advance. Instead, they are allowed to belong to a region around an initial discrete set of nodes. We…
Last-mile logistics is regarded as an essential yet highly expensive component of parcel logistics. In dense urban environments, this is partially caused by inherent inefficiencies due to traffic congestion and the disparity and…
This paper deals with an extension of the hub line location problem considering demand elasticity with respect to travel times. The proposed model aims to capture the impact the hub network topology has on demand. The objective is to…
Logistic hubs play a pivotal role in the last-mile delivery distance; even a slight increment in distance negatively impacts the business of the e-commerce industry while also increasing its carbon footprint. The growth of this industry,…
One of the most vital activities to reduce energy consumption in wireless sensor networks is clustering. In clustering, one node from a group of nodes is selected to be a cluster head, which handles majority of the computation and…
Modern logistics systems worldwide are facing unprecedented challenges due to the explosive growth of e-commerce, driving the need for resilient systems to tackle problems such as vulnerable supplies, volatile demands, and fragile…
This study focuses on relay transport carriers (RTCs) that contract with hub providers to lease hub capacity and employ relay transportation via hubs. It enables long-haul freight shipments to be transported by multiple short-haul drivers…
Technologies and lifestyles have been increasingly geared toward consumerism in recent years. Accordingly, it is both the price and the delivery time that matter most to the ultimate customers of commercial enterprises. Consequently, the…
Express companies are deploying more robotic sorting systems, where mobile robots are used to sort incoming parcels by destination. In this study, we propose an integrated assignment and path-finding method for robots in such sorting…
