Efficient workload assignment to the workforce is critical in last-mile package delivery systems. In this context, traditional methods of assigning package deliveries to workers based on geographical proximity can be inefficient and surely…

This paper proposes a set of technological solutions to transform existing transport systems into more intelligent, interactive systems by utilizing optimization and control methods that can be implemented in the near future. This will…

Connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) provide the most intriguing opportunity for enabling users to significantly improve safety and transportation efficiency by monitoring network conditions and making better operating decisions. CAVs,…

We present here a cost effective framework for a robust scalable and distributed job processing system that adapts to the dynamic computing needs easily with efficient load balancing for heterogeneous systems. The design is such that each…

Railroad transportation plays a vital role in the future of sustainable mobility. Besides building new infrastructure, capacity can be improved by modern train control systems, e.g., based on moving blocks. At the same time, there is only…

Human awareness in robot motion planning is crucial for seamless interaction with humans. Many existing techniques slow down, stop, or change the robot's trajectory locally to avoid collisions with humans. Although using the information on…

Transportation problems of large urban conurbations inspire search for new transportation systems, that meet high environmental standards, are relatively cheap and user friendly. The latter element also includes the needs of disabled and…

In this paper, we investigate the problem of a last-mile delivery service that selects up to $N$ available vehicles to deliver $M$ packages from a centralized depot to $M$ delivery locations. The objective of the last-mile delivery service…

Swarm robotics utilises decentralised self-organising systems to form complex collective behaviours built from the bottom-up using individuals that have limited capabilities. Previous work has shown that simple occlusion-based strategies…

In this paper, we introduce a semi-decentralized control technique for a swarm of robots transporting a fragile object to a destination in an uncertain occluded environment.The proposed approach has been split into two parts. The initial…

This paper outlines the ideas behind developing a graph-based heuristic-driven routing algorithm designed for a particular instance of a goods transportation problem with a single good type. The proposed algorithm solves the optimization…

This paper proposes a lightweight systematic solution for multi-robot coordinated navigation with decentralized cooperative perception. An information flow is first created to facilitate real-time observation sharing over unreliable ad-hoc…

Swarms of aerial drones have recently been considered for last-mile deliveries in urban logistics or automated construction. At the same time, collaborative transportation of payloads by multiple drones is another important area of recent…

Swarm Robotics is an emerging field of adapting the phenomenon of natural swarms to robotics. It is a study of robots that are aimed to mimic natural swarms, like ants and birds, to form a system that is scalable, flexible, and robust.…

As labor shortages and productivity stagnation increasingly challenge the construction industry, automation has become essential for sustainable infrastructure development. This paper presents an autonomous payload transportation system as…

Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) allow vehicles to exchange warning messages with each other. These specific kinds of networks help reduce hazardous traffic situations and improve safety, which are two of the main objectives in developing…

The fast demographic growth, together with the concentration of the population in cities and the increasing amount of daily waste, are factors that push to the limit the ability of waste assimilation by Nature. Therefore, we need…

Intelligent transportation systems (ITSs) and other smart-city technologies are increasingly advancing in capability and complexity. While simulation environments continue to improve, their fidelity and ease of use can quickly degrade as…

The simplest model of a smart spatial redistribution of individuals is proposed. A single-species population is considered, to be composed of two discrete subpopulations inhabiting two stations; migration is a transfer between them. The…

Robotic systems are routinely used in the logistics industry to enhance operational efficiency, but the design of robot workspaces remains a complex and manual task, which limits the system's flexibility to changing demands. This paper aims…
