A significant cause of air pollution in urban areas worldwide is the high volume of road traffic. Long-term exposure to severe pollution can cause serious health issues. One approach towards tackling this problem is to design a…
In this paper, an uncertain Multi-objective Multi-item Solid Transportation Problem (MMSTP) based on uncertainty theory is presented. In the model, transportation costs, supplies, demands and conveyances parameters are taken to be uncertain…
Recent road trials have shown that guaranteeing the safety of driving decisions is essential for the wider adoption of autonomous vehicle technology. One promising direction is to pose safety requirements as planning constraints in…
This paper addresses the problem of planning successive Space Debris Collecting missions so that they can be achieved at minimal cost by a generic vehicle. The problem mixes combinatorial optimization to select and order the debris among a…
Multi-product pipelines are a highly efficient means of transporting liquids. Traditionally used to transport petroleum, its products and derivatives, they are now being repurposed to transport liquified natural gas admixed with hydrogen of…
Inventory management, vehicle routing, and delivery scheduling decisions are simultaneously considered in the context of the inventory routing problem. This paper focuses on the continuous-time version of this problem where, unlike its more…
Truck platooning is a promising technology that enables trucks to travel in formations with small inter-vehicle distances for improved aerodynamics and fuel economy. The real-world transportation system includes a vast number of trucks…
This paper addresses the problem of planning time-optimal trajectories for multiple cooperative agents along specified paths through a static road network. Vehicle interactions at intersections create non-trivial decisions, with complex…
Hub location problems are central to optimizing logistics, telecommunications, and transportation networks by consolidating flows through strategically placed hubs. While existing models assume symmetric allocation, where hubs handle…
Microtransit and other flexible transit fleet services can reduce costs by incorporating transfers. However, transfers are costly to users if they must get off a vehicle and wait at a stop for another pickup. A mixed integer linear…
Shared Mobility Services (SMSs) are transforming urban transportation systems by offering flexible travel options. These services, which help reduce the number of cars on the roads, have the potential to enhance the transportation system's…
This paper introduces a new optimization model that integrates the multi-port stowage planning problem with the container relocation problem. This problem is formulated as a binary mathematical programming model that must find the…
Municipal solid waste management is a paramount activity in modern cities due to the environmental, social and economic problems that can arise when mishandled. In this work, the sequencing of micro-routes in the Argentine city of Bah\'ia…
Real-time multi-robot coordination in hazardous and adversarial environments requires fast, reliable adaptation to dynamic threats. While Large Language Models (LLMs) offer strong high-level reasoning capabilities, the lack of safety…
This paper studies the problem of steering a linear time-invariant system subject to state and input constraints towards a goal location that may be inferred only through partial observations. We assume mixed-observable settings, where the…
The increase in non-renewable energy consumption and CO2 emissions, especially in the manufacturing sector, is moving radical shifts in energy supply policies and production models. Renewable energy integration and regulated pricing…
More than 10 billion tons of construction and demolition waste (CW) are generated globally each year, exerting a significant impact on the environment. In the CW recycling process, the government and the carrier are the two primary…
Hybrid fuel Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), through their combination of multiple energy sources, offer several advantages over the standard single fuel source configuration, the primary one being increased range and efficiency. Multiple…
This paper addresses the challenges of high-impact low-probability (HILP) events by proposing a novel capacity reserve event market for mobile generation assets, aimed at supporting the transmission network during such incidents. Despite…
In an act of sabotage or terrorism, hazardous material might be released deliberately into the atmosphere to threaten individuals, e.g., those operating critical infrastructure. Hazardous materials in such a scenario include toxic…
