Fair access to healthcare facilities is fundamental to achieving social equity. Traditional travel time-based accessibility measures often overlook the dynamic nature of travel times resulting from different departure times, which…
Connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) are expected to yield significant improvements in safety, energy efficiency, and time utilization. However, their net effect on energy and environmental outcomes is unclear. Higher fuel economy…
It can be profitable for vehicle service providers to set service prices based on users' travel demand on different origin-destination pairs. The prior studies on the spatial pricing of vehicle service rely on the assumption that providers…
The unavoidable travel time variability in transportation networks, resulted from the widespread supply side and demand side uncertainties, makes travel time reliability (TTR) be a common and core interest of all the stakeholders in…
Transportation planning is strongly influenced by the assumption that every individual has for his daily mobility a constant daily budget of ~1 hour. However, recent experimental results are proving this assumption as wrong. Here, we study…
For most wireless services with variable rate transmission, both average rate and rate oscillation are important performance metrics. The traditional performance criterion, utility of average transmission rate, boosts the average rate but…
Travel time is a fundamental component of accessibility measurement, yet most accessibility analyses rely on static timetable data that assume public transport services operate exactly as scheduled. Such representations overlook the…
This paper formulates a model of utility for a continuous time framework that captures the decision-maker's concern with ambiguity about both the drift and volatility of the driving process. At a technical level, the analysis requires a…
As a measure of the long-term contribution produced by customers in a service or product relationship, life-time value, or LTV, can more comprehensively find the optimal strategy for service delivery. However, it is challenging to…
Control of systems of automated guided vehicles involves action planning at many levels. For efficient control of these systems, accurate estimation of cost parameters (speed, energy, task completion performance, \textit{et~cetera} is…
Consumer preference elicitation is critical to devise effective policies for the diffusion of electric vehicles (EVs) in India. This study contributes to the EV demand literature in the Indian context by (a) analysing the EV attributes and…
In this paper, we consider electric vehicle charging facilities that offer various levels of service for varying prices such that rational users choose a level of service that minimizes the total cost to themselves including an opportunity…
We study the vehicle routing problem with time windows (VRPTW) and stochastic travel times, in which the decision-maker observes related contextual information, represented as feature variables, before making routing decisions. Despite the…
We consider "time-of-use" pricing as a technique for matching supply and demand of temporal resources with the goal of maximizing social welfare. Relevant examples include energy, computing resources on a cloud computing platform, and…
Real-world electric vehicle (EV) energy consumption can deviate by 20-40% from rated values, driven by ambient temperature, traffic congestion, and route characteristics. Existing studies treat these factors in isolation or as static loads,…
We consider an increasingly popular demand-response scenario where a user schedules the flexible electric vehicle (EV) charging load in response to real-time electricity prices. The objective is to minimize the total charging cost with user…
In this article, we examine the Location Management costs in mobile communication networks utilizing the timer-based method. From the study of the probabilities that a mobile terminal changes a number of Location Areas between two calls, we…
This paper provides an insight to the time-varying dynamics of the shape of the distribution of financial return series by proposing an exponential weighted moving average model that jointly estimates volatility, skewness and kurtosis over…
Time-varying electricity pricing better reflects the varying cost of electricity compared to flat-rate pricing. Variations between peak and off-peak costs are increasing due to weather variation, renewable intermittency, and increasing…
Estimating customer lifetime value (CLV or LTV) is extremely important for making better business decisions. The proposed flexible proportional hazards model allows an estimation of lifetime value in contractual settings. This approach…
