Car sharing is one the pillars of a smart transportation infrastructure, as it is expected to reduce traffic congestion, parking demands and pollution in our cities. From the point of view of demand modelling, car sharing is a weak signal…
Public charging infrastructure plays a crucial role in the context of electrifying the private mobility sector in particular for urban regions. Against this background, we develop a new mathematical model for the optimal placement of public…
In optimization of a shared autonomous electric vehicle (SAEV) system, idle vehicle relocation strategies are important to reduce operation costs and customers' wait time. However, for an on-demand service, continuous optimization for idle…
Transportation services play a crucial part in the development of modern smart cities. In particular, on-demand ridesharing services, which group together passengers with similar itineraries, are already operating in several metropolitan…
Meeting-point-based feeder services using EVs have good potential to achieve an efficient and clean on-demand mobility service. However, customer-to-meeting-point, vehicle routing, and charging scheduling need to be jointly optimized to…
This paper investigates the downlink scheduling for relay-aided high-mobility vehicular networks, where the vehicles with good vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) links are employed as cooperative relay nodes to help the ones with poor V2I…
We consider the online versions of two fundamental routing problems, traveling salesman (TSP) and dial-a-ride (DARP), which have a variety of relevant applications in logistics and robotics. The online versions of these problems concern…
The advent of vehicle autonomy, connectivity and electric powertrains is expected to enable the deployment of Autonomous Mobility-on-Demand systems. Crucially, the routing and charging activities of these fleets are impacted by the design…
Carsharing is a model of renting vehicles for short periods of time, where the payment is made according to the time and distance effectively traveled. Carsharing offers a simple, economical and smart alternative to urban mobility, that is…
Internet access is essential for economic development and helping to deliver the Sustainable Development Goals, especially as even basic broadband can revolutionize available economic opportunities. Yet, more than one billion people still…
Cities around the world are expanding dramatically, with urban population growth reaching nearly 2.5 billion people in urban areas and road traffic growth exceeding 1.2 billion cars by 2050. The economic contribution of the transport sector…
Improving health in the most disadvantaged populations requires reliable estimates of health and demographic indicators to inform policy and interventions. Low- and middle-income countries with the largest burden of disease and disability…
The recent promotion of sustainable urban planning combined with a growing need for public interventions to improve well-being and health have led to an increased collective interest for green spaces in and around cities. In particular,…
Urban demand forecasting plays a critical role in optimizing routing, dispatching, and congestion management within Intelligent Transportation Systems. By leveraging data fusion and analytics techniques, traffic demand forecasting serves as…
Battery electric vehicles are rapidly entering the market. Their success offers great opportunities for the decarbonization of the transport sector, but also pose new challenges to energy infrastructures. Public charging stations must be…
Vehicle (bike or car) sharing represents an emerging transportation scheme which may comprise an important link in the green mobility chain of smart city environments. This chapter offers a comprehensive review of algorithmic approaches for…
The significance of transportation efficiency, safety, and related services is increasing in urban vehicular networks. Within such networks, roadside units (RSUs) serve as intermediates in facilitating communication. Therefore, 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…
Facility location problems aim to identify the best locations to set up new services. Majority of the existing works typically assume that the users are static. However, there exists a wide array of services such as fuel stations, ATMs,…
After a decade of on-demand mobility services that change spatial behaviors in metropolitan areas, the Shared Autonomous Vehicle (SAV) service is expected to increase traffic congestion and unequal access to transport services. A paradigm…
