The residual queue during a given study period (e.g., peak hour) is an important feature that should be considered when solving a traffic assignment problem under equilibrium for strategic traffic planning. Although studies have focused…

We consider the problem of defining a strategy consisting of a set of facilities taking into account also the location where they have to be assigned and the time in which they have to be activated. The facilities are evaluated with respect…

There is a rise in the need for efficient battery charging methods due to the high penetration of electromobility solutions. Battery swapping, a technique in which fully or partially depleted batteries are exchanged and then transported to…

Traffic congestion caused by non-recurring incidents such as vehicle crashes and debris is a key issue for Traffic Management Centers (TMCs). Clearing incidents in a timely manner is essential for improving safety and reducing delays and…

This research offers a novel framework for dynamic task assignment for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in cooperative search settings. Notably, it incorporates post-fault UAV capabilities into job assignment techniques, assuring operational…

We consider scheduling problems for unit jobs with release times, where the number or size of the gaps in the schedule is taken into consideration, either in the objective function or as a constraint. Except for a few papers on energy…

We introduce in this paper a new variant of a location routing problem, to decide, the number and location of drop-off points to install based on the demands of a set of pick-up points, according to a given set-up budget for installing…

The next generation of radar systems will include advanced digital front-end technology in the apertures allowing for spatially subdividing radar tasks over the array, the so-called split-aperture phased array (SAPA) concept. The goal of…

Load balancing, operator instance collocations and horizontal scaling are critical issues in Parallel Stream Processing Engines to achieve low data processing latency, optimized cluster utilization and minimized communication cost…

In task allocation for real-time domains, such as disaster response, a limited number of agents is deployed across a large area to carry out numerous tasks, each with its prerequisites, profit, time window and workload. To maximize profits…

The idle computers on a local area, campus area, or even wide area network represent a significant computational resource---one that is, however, also unreliable, heterogeneous, and opportunistic. This type of resource has been used…

Network design problems have been studied from the 1950s, as they can be used in a wide range of real-world applications, e.g., design of communication and transportation networks. In classical network design problems, the objective is to…

The multi Vehicle Routing Problem with Pickup and Delivery with Time Windows is a challenging version of the Vehicle Routing Problem. In this paper, by embedding many complex assignment routing constraints through constructing a multi…

We present a simultaneous sensor-based inspection and footprint coverage (SIFC) planning and control design with applications to autonomous robotic crack mapping and filling. The main challenge of the SIFC problem lies in the coupling of…

The "avoid - shift - improve" framework and the European Clean Vehicles Directive set the path for improving the efficiency and ultimately decarbonizing the transport sector. While electric buses have already been adopted in several cities,…

This paper is concerned with optimization of distributed broadband wireless communication (BWC) systems. BWC systems contain a distributed antenna system (DAS) connected to a base station with optical fiber. Distributed BWC systems have…

This paper investigates the scheduling problem of a fleet of electric vehicles, providing mobility as a service to a set of time-specified customers, where the operator needs to solve the routing and charging problem jointly for each EV.…

Electric airplanes are expected to take to the skies soon, finding first use cases in small networks within hardly accessible areas, such as island communities. In this context, the environmental footprint of such airplanes will be strongly…

It is always a challenging task for multi-agent systems to achieve efficient and robust coverage in uncertain environments. The absence of global positioning information on the uncertain environment introduces significant complexity to the…

Optimal scheduling of deferrable electrical loads can reshape the aggregated load profile to achieve higher operational efficiency and reliability. This paper studies deferrable load scheduling under demand charge that imposes a penalty on…
