Electric Location-Routing models (ELRP) can contribute to the effective planning of electric vehicles (EVs) fleets and charging infrastructure within EV logistic networks because it simultaneously combines routing and location decisions to…
This study addresses the urban transit pattern design problem, optimizing stop sequences, headways, and fleet sizes across multiple routes and periods simultaneously to minimize user costs (composed of riding, waiting, and transfer times)…
We develop a probability-based multi-path location model for an optimal deployment of alternative fueling stations (AFSs) on a transportation network. Distinct from prior research efforts in AFS problems, in which all demands are deemed as…
The rapid proliferation of Internet-of-things (IoT) as well as mobile devices such as Electric Vehicles (EVs), has led to unpredictable load at the grid. The demand to supply ratio is particularly exacerbated at a few grid aggregators…
We consider a distribution logistics scenario where a shipping operator, managing a limited amount of resources, receives a stream of collection requests, issued by a set of customers along a booking time-horizon, that are referred to a…
The problem of optimizing social welfare objectives on multi sided ride hailing platforms such as Uber, Lyft, etc., is challenging, due to misalignment of objectives between drivers, passengers, and the platform itself. An ideal solution…
Model-based computational elasticity imaging of tissues can be posed as solving an inverse problem over finite elements spanning the displacement image. As most existing quasi-static elastography methods count on deterministic formulations…
This paper extends the single-item single-stocking location non-stationary stochastic inventory problem to relax the assumption of independent demand. We present a mathematical programming-based solution method that relaxes the assumption…
The shift from private vehicles to public and shared transport is crucial to reducing emissions and meeting climate targets. Consequently, there is an urgent need to develop a multimodal transport trip planning approach that integrates…
A massive use of electric vehicles is nowadays considered to be a key element of a sustainable transportation policy and the availability of charging stations is a crucial issue for their extensive use. Charging stations in an urban area…
This paper studies strategies to optimize the lane configuration of a transportation network for a given set of Origin-Destination demands using a planning macroscopic network flow model. The lane reversal problem is, in general, NP-hard…
We study a class of robust network design problems motivated by the need to scale core networks to meet increasingly dynamic capacity demands. Past work has focused on designing the network to support all hose matrices (all matrices not…
Using strategic timetables as input for railway network design has become increasingly popular among western European railway infrastructure operators. Although both railway timetabling and railway network design on their own are well…
We introduce a new formulation for the multiple allocation hub location problem that exploits supermodular properties and uses 1- and 2-index variables only. We show that the new formulation produces the same Linear Programming bound as the…
To solve a real-world problem, the modeler usually needs to make a trade-off between model complexity and usefulness. This is also true for robust optimization, where a wide range of models for uncertainty, so-called uncertainty sets, have…
Metropolitan scale vehicular traffic modeling is used by a variety of private and public sector urban mobility stakeholders to inform the design and operations of road networks. High-resolution stochastic traffic simulators are increasingly…
As many public transportation systems around the world transition to electric buses, the planning and operation of fleets can be improved via tailored decision-support tools. In this work, we study the impact of jointly locating charging…
Railway scheduling and timetabling are common stages in the classical hierarchical railway planning process and they perhaps represent the step with major influence on user's perception about quality of service. This aspect, in conjunction…
Corporate mobility is often based on a fixed assignment of vehicles to employees. Relaxing this fixation and including alternatives such as public transportation or taxis for business and private trips could increase fleet utilization and…
Bringing together nonlinear optimization with polyhedral and integrality constraints enables versatile modeling, but poses significant computational challenges. We investigate a method to address these problems based on sequential…
