Accurately modeling and verifying the correct operation of systems interacting in dynamic environments is challenging. By leveraging parametric uncertainty within the model description, one can relax the requirement to describe exactly the…
Restructuring route networks (i.e., modifying the graph of origin-destination pairs) remains a promising alternative for reducing the airline industry's environmental impact. However, there exists a fundamental trade-off between emissions…
The regulations regarding the Paris Agreement are planned to be adapted soon to keep the global temperature rise within 2 0C. Additionally, integrating renewable energy-based equipment and adopting new ways of producing energy resources,…
Overpopulation and environmental degradation due to inadequate resource-use are outcomes of human's ecosystem engineering that has profoundly modified the world's landscape. Despite the age-old concern that unchecked population and economic…
The Tourist Trip Design Problem aims to prescribe a sightseeing plan that maximizes tourist satisfaction while taking into account a multitude of parameters and constraints, such as the distances among points of interest, the expected…
Social media platforms provide valuable opportunities for users to gather information, interact with friends, and enjoy entertainment. However, their addictive potential poses significant challenges, including overuse and negative…
Trip recommendation is a significant and engaging location-based service that can help new tourists make more customized travel plans. It often attempts to suggest a sequence of point of interests (POIs) for a user who requests a…
Increasing urbanization and exacerbation of sustainability goals threaten the operational efficiency of current transportation systems and confront cities with complex choices with huge impact on future generations. At the same time, the…
Understanding how climate and innovation policies perform during socio-technical transitions remains a central challenge in innovation studies. Empirical analyses of the relationship between economic growth and carbon emissions continue to…
Managing coastal flood risks involves choosing among portfolios of different options. Analyzing these choices typically requires a model. State-of-the-art coastal risk models provide detailed regional information, but can be difficult to…
Drilling investment is pivotal to operational planning in oil and gas (O\&G) exploration. Conventional deployment relies heavily on fragmented expert assessments of geological and economic factors, with limited integration ability of…
Offshore wind farms have emerged as a popular renewable energy source that can generate substantial electric power with a low environmental impact. However, integrating these farms into the grid poses significant complexities. To address…
This paper presents a model addressing welfare optimal policies of demand responsive transportation service, where passengers cause external travel time costs for other passengers due to the route changes. Optimal pricing and trip…
A mechanism is described that addresses the fundamental trade off between media producers who want to increase reach and consumers who provide attention based on the rate of utility received, and where overreach negatively impacts that…
Real-world decision and optimization problems, often involve constraints and conflicting criteria. For example, choosing a travel method must balance speed, cost, environmental footprint, and convenience. Similarly, designing an industrial…
The term nature-based solutions has often been used to refer to adequate green infrastructure, which is cost-effective and simultaneously provides environmental, social and economic benefits, through the delivery of ecosystem services, and…
We consider the situation where multiple transportation service providers cooperate to offer an integrated multi-modal platform to enhance the convenience to the passengers through ease in multi-modal journey planning, payment, and first…
The climate is a non-equilibrium system undergoing the continuous action of forcing and dissipation. Under the effect of a spatially inhomogeneous absorption of solar energy, all the climate components dynamically respond until an…
Accurate, scalable traffic monitoring is critical for real-time and long-term transportation management, particularly during disruptions such as natural disasters, large construction projects, or major policy changes like New York City's…
Today mobile users are intensively interconnected thanks to the emerging mobile social networks, where they share location-based information with each other when traveling on different routes and visit different areas of the city. In our…
