The Traveling Thief Problem (TTP) is a multi-component optimization problem that captures the interplay between routing and packing decisions by combining the classical Traveling Salesperson Problem (TSP) and the Knapsack Problem (KP). The…

Determination of the most economic strategies for supply and transmission of electricity is a daunting computational challenge. Due to theoretical barriers, so-called NP-hardness, the amount of effort to optimize the schedule of generating…
This paper addresses the issues concerning the rescheduling of a static timetable in case of a disaster encountered in a large and complex railway network system. The proposed approach tries to modify the schedule so as to minimise the…
This paper proposes the Spatio-Temporal Crowdedness Inference Model (STCIM), a framework to infer the passenger distribution inside the whole urban rail transit (URT) system in real-time. Our model is practical since the model is designed…
We study daily rolling stock circulation planning for electric multiple units (EMUs) on a regional passenger network, focusing on services where identical EMUs may be coupled in pairs on selected routes. Motivated by the operational needs…
Unbalanced optimal transport (UOT) has recently gained much attention due to its flexible framework for handling un-normalized measures and its robustness properties. In this work, we explore learning (structured) sparse transport plans in…
Trajectory planning and control have historically been separated into two modules in automated driving stacks. Trajectory planning focuses on higher-level tasks like avoiding obstacles and staying on the road surface, whereas the controller…
This paper proposes multiple extensions to the popular bicriterion transit routing approach -- Trip-Based Transit Routing (TBTR). Specifically, building on the premise of the HypRAPTOR algorithm, we first extend TBTR to its partitioning…
In this paper, we consider the problem of allocating human operator assistance in a system with multiple autonomous robots. Each robot is required to complete independent missions, each defined as a sequence of tasks. While executing a…
In this paper we propose a Deep Reinforcement Learning approach to solve a multimodal transportation planning problem, in which containers must be assigned to a truck or to trains that will transport them to their destination. While…
Every day, railways experience disturbances and disruptions, both on the network and the fleet side, that affect the stability of rail traffic. Induced delays propagate through the network, which leads to a mismatch in demand and offer for…
In bike sharing systems the quality of the service to the users strongly depends on the strategy adopted to reposition the bikes. The bike repositioning problem is in general very complex as it involves different interrelated decisions: the…

We study the problem of learning the preferences of drivers and planners in the context of last mile delivery. Given a data set containing historical decisions and delivery locations, the goal is to capture the implicit preferences of the…
The last few years have seen the massive deployment of electric buses in many existing transit networks. However, the planning and operation of an electric bus system differ from that of a bus system with conventional vehicles, and some key…
