In this study, two mathematical models have been developed for assigning emergency vehicles, namely ambulances, to geographical areas. The first model, which is based on the assignment problem, the ambulance transfer (moving ambulances)…

The area coverage problem is the task of efficiently servicing a given two-dimensional surface using sensors mounted on robots such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs). We present a novel formulation for…

Aircraft and crew are two major resources that ensure the smooth operations of airlines. However, with the anticipated growth in the aviation industry, the crew resource is predicted to be insufficient worldwide and has been one of the…

The notion of 'resource' plays an important role in the overall efficiency and performance of most cross-docks. The processing time can often be described in terms of the resources allocated to different trucks. Conversely, for a given…

As an emerging mode of urban transportation, Autonomous Mobility-on-Demand (AMoD) systems show the potential in improving mobility in cities through timely and door-to-door services. However, the spatiotemporal imbalances between mobility…

The problem of coverage control, i.e., of coordinating multiple agents to optimally cover an area, arises in various applications. However, coverage applications face two major challenges: (1) dealing with nonlinear dynamics while…

Effective agent shift scheduling is crucial for businesses, especially in the Contact Center as a Service (CCaaS) industry, to ensure seamless operations and fulfill employee needs. Most studies utilizing mathematical model-based solutions…

An assignment problem arises when there exists a set of tasks that must be allocated to a set of agents. The bottleneck assignment problem (BAP) has the objective of minimising the most costly allocation of a task to an agent. Under certain…

We formulate and solve two resource allocation problems motivated by a preparedness question of emergency response services. First, we consider the assignment of vehicles to stations, and, in a second step, assign crews to vehicles. In both…

Across infrastructure domains, physical damage caused by storms and other weather events often requires costly and time-sensitive repairs to restore services as quickly as possible. While recent studies have used agent-based models to…

Most consumer-level low-cost unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have limited battery power and long charging time. Due to these energy constraints, they cannot accomplish many practical tasks, such as monitoring a sport or political event for…

This paper considers deployment problems where a mobile robotic network must optimize its configuration in a distributed way in order to minimize a steady-state cost function that depends on the spatial distribution of certain probabilistic…

This paper introduces a new generic problem to the literature of Workforce Scheduling and Routing Problem. In this problem, multiple workers are assigned to a shared vehicle based on their qualifications and customer demands, and then the…

This paper addresses the sweep coverage problem of multi-agent systems in uncertain regions. A new formulation of distributed sweep coverage is proposed to cooperatively complete the workload in the uncertain region. Specifically, each…

This paper considers a patrol inspection scenario where multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are adopted to traverse multiple predetermined cruise points for data collection. The UAVs are connected to cellular networks and they would…

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are becoming increasingly useful for tasks which require the acquisition of data over large areas. The coverage problem, i.e., the problem of periodically visiting all subregions of an area at a desired…

We address a dynamic repair shop scheduling problem in the context of military aircraft fleet management where the goal is to maintain a full complement of aircraft over the long-term. A number of flights, each with a requirement for a…

Resource allocation in integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) systems needs to be optimized to balance the requirements of the communication and sensing modules considering complicated cross-layer data traffic and queue status in…

Achieving safety is a critical aspect of attaining autonomy in a platoon of autonomous vehicles. In this paper, we propose a distributionally robust risk framework to investigate cascading failures in platoons. To examine the impact of…

One of the major challenges in the coordination of large, open, collaborative, and commercial vehicle fleets is dynamic task allocation. Self-concerned individually rational vehicle drivers have both local and global objectives, which…
