Municipal solid waste management is a paramount activity in modern cities due to the environmental, social and economic problems that can arise when mishandled. In this work, the sequencing of micro-routes in the Argentine city of Bah\'ia…
Municipal Solid Waste systems have important economic, social, and environmental impacts for society. Within the diverse stages of the Municipal Solid Waste reverse logistic chain, the waste bin location problem consists in properly…
Municipal solid waste management is a major challenge for nowadays urban societies, because it accounts for a large proportion of public budget and, when mishandled, it can lead to environmental and social problems. This work focuses on the…
An efficient Municipal solid waste (MSW) system is critical to modern cities in order to enhance sustainability and livability of urban life. With this aim, the planning phase of the MSW system should be carefully addressed by decision…
This article describes the application of soft computing methods for solving the problem of locating garbage accumulation points in urban scenarios. This is a relevant problem in modern smart cities, in order to reduce negative…
The compactness of routes in distribution plans is a criterion that has not been sufficiently explored in the literature related to logistics distribution but has shown to have a significant impact on the practical implementation of routing…
The growth in online shopping and third party logistics has caused a revival of interest in finding optimal solutions to the large scale in-transit freight consolidation problem. Given the shipment date, size, origin, destination, and due…
The rapid and constant increase in urban population has led to a drastic rise in urban solid waste production with worrying consequences for the environment and society. In many cities, an efficient waste management combined with a suitable…
The BusPlus project aims at improving the off-peak hours public transit service in Canberra, Australia. To address the difficulty of covering a large geographic area, BusPlus proposes a hub and shuttle model consisting of a combination of a…
Few activities are as crucial in urban environments as waste management. Mismanagement of waste can cause significant economic, social, and environmental damage. However, waste management is often a complex system to manage and therefore…
The Two-dimensional Bin Packing Problem calls for packing a set of rectangular items into a minimal set of larger rectangular bins. Items must be packed with their edges parallel to the borders of the bins, cannot be rotated and cannot…
Energy systems planning models identify least-cost strategies for expansion and operation of energy systems and provide decision support for investment, planning, regulation, and policy. Most are formulated as linear programming (LP) or…
The increase in congestion in surface traffic, airborne pollution, and other environmental issues have motivated the transit authorities to promote public transit worldwide. In big cities and large metropolitan areas, adding new rapid…
To meet sustainability goals and regulatory requirements, transit agencies worldwide are planning partial and full transitions to electric bus fleets. This paper presents a comprehensive and computationally efficient multi-period…
Supply chain transportation operations often account for a large proportion of product total cost to market. Such operations can be optimized by solving the Logistics Service Network Design Problem (LSNDP), wherein a logistics service…
Multi-sector capacity expansion models play a crucial role in energy planning by providing decision support for policymaking in technology development. To ensure reliable support, these models require high technological, spatial, and…
The distribution network restoration problem is by nature a mixed integer and non-linear optimization problem due to the switching decisions and Optimal Power Flow (OPF) constraints, respectively. The link between these two parts involves…
We consider electricity capacity expansion models, which optimize investment and retirement decisions by minimizing both investment and operation costs. In order to provide credible support for planning and policy decisions, these models…
At modern warehouses, mobile robots transport packages and drop them into collection bins/chutes based on shipping destinations grouped by, e.g., the ZIP code. System throughput, measured as the number of packages sorted per unit of time,…
Logistic service providers increasingly focus on two-echelon distribution systems to efficiently manage thousands of deliveries in urban environments. Effectively operating such systems requires designing cost-efficient delivery networks…
