This work considers the path planning problem for a team of identical robots evolving in a known environment. The robots should satisfy a global specification given as a Linear Temporal Logic (LTL) formula over a set of regions of interest.…
The Flow Refueling Location Problem (FRLP) is a stylized model for determining the optimal placement of refueling stations for vehicles with limited travel ranges, such as hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and electric vehicles. A notable…
This paper presents an optimization procedure to choose a parking facility according to different criteria: total travel time including transfers, parking fee and a factor depending on the risk of not having an available spot in the parking…
This paper proposes an effective and novel multiagent deep reinforcement learning (MADRL)-based method for solving the joint virtual network function (VNF) placement and routing (P&R), where multiple service requests with differentiated…
Optimizing the assortment of products to display to customers is a key to increasing revenue for both offline and online retailers. To trade-off between exploring customers' preference and exploiting customers' choices learned from data, in…
In urban environments, supply resources have to be constantly matched to the "right" locations (where customer demand is present) so as to improve quality of life. For instance, ambulances have to be matched to base stations regularly so as…
The capacitated p-center problem requires to select p facilities from a set of candidates to service a number of customers, subject to facility capacity constraints, with the aim of minimizing the maximum distance between a customer and its…
Public road authorities and private mobility service providers need information derived from the current and predicted traffic states to act upon the daily urban system and its spatial and temporal dynamics. In this research, a real-time…
We attack the 4-level facility location problem (4L-FLP), a critical component in supply chains. Foundational tasks here involve selecting markets, plants, warehouses, and distribution centers to maximize profits while considering related…
A key challenge in transportation planning is that the collective preferences of heterogeneous travelers often diverge from the policies produced by model-driven decision tools. This misalignment frequently results in implementation delays…
We study the problem of optimal location querying for location based services in road networks, which aims to find locations for new servers or facilities. The existing optimal solutions on this problem consider only the cases with one new…
We consider the dynamic assortment optimization problem under the multinomial logit model (MNL) with unknown utility parameters. The main question investigated in this paper is model mis-specification under the $\varepsilon$-contamination…
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…
Shared mobility systems (e.g., shared cars and ride-hailing services) generate persistent spatial imbalances as vehicles concentrate at popular destinations, leaving trip origins depleted of supply. Operators incur substantial costs in…
Ride-pooling, which accommodates multiple passenger requests in a single trip, has the potential to significantly increase fleet utilization in shared mobility platforms. The ride-pooling assignment problem finds optimal co-riders to…
In this paper we consider the problem of locating $k$ obnoxious facilities (congruent disks of maximum radius) amidst $n$ demand points (existing repulsive facility sites) ordered from left to right in the plane so that none of the existing…
We study the routing problem for vehicles with limited energy through a network of inhomogeneous charging nodes. This is substantially more complicated than the homogeneous node case studied in [1]. We seek to minimize the total elapsed…
The unrestricted block relocation problem is an important optimization problem encountered at terminals, where containers are stored in stacks. It consists in determining the minimum number of container moves so as to empty the considered…
The latency location routing problem integrates the facility location problem and the multi-depot cumulative capacitated vehicle routing problem. This problem involves making simultaneous decisions about depot locations and vehicle routes…
In unstructured environments like parking lots or construction sites, due to the large search-space and kinodynamic constraints of the vehicle, it is challenging to achieve real-time planning. Several state-of-the-art planners utilize…
