We introduce the Vehicle Routing Problem with Resource-Constrained Pickup and Delivery (VRP-RPD), where vehicles transport finite identical resources to customer locations for autonomous processing before retrieval and redeployment. Unlike…
Hydrogen is an energy vector, and one possible way to reduce CO 2 emissions. This paper focuses on a hydrogen transport problem where mobile storage units are moved by trucks between sources to be refilled and destinations to meet demands,…
The Flying Sidekick Traveling Salesman Problem (FSTSP) considers a delivery system composed by a truck and a drone. The drone launches from the truck with a single package to deliver to a customer. Each drone must return to the truck to…
Innovative shared mobility services provide on-demand flexible mobility options and have the potential to alleviate traffic congestion. These attractive services are challenging from different perspectives. One major challenge in such…
Platooning allows vehicles to travel with small intervehicle distance in a coordinated fashion thanks to vehicle-to-vehicle connectivity. When applied at a larger scale, platooning will create significant opportunities for energy savings…
The emergence of Autonomous Mobility-on-Demand (AMoD) services creates new opportunities to improve the efficiency and reliability of on-demand mobility systems. Unlike human-driven Mobility-on-Demand (MoD), AMoD enables fully centralized…
We are in the midst of a technology-driven transformation of the urban mobility landscape. However, unfortunately these new innovations are still dominated by car-centric personal mobility, which leads to concerns such as environmental…
In this paper, we study a variant of the dynamic ridesharing problem with a specific focus on peak hours: Given a set of drivers and rider requests, we aim to match drivers to each rider request by achieving two objectives: maximizing the…
Carpooling, or sharing a ride with other passengers, holds immense potential for urban transportation. Ridesharing platforms enable such sharing of rides using real-time data. Finding ride matches in real-time at urban scale is a difficult…
The Multiple Depot Ring-Star Problem (MDRSP) is an important combinatorial optimization problem that arises in the context of optical fiber network design, and in applications pertaining to collecting data using stationary sensing devices…
We consider several Vehicle Routing Problems (VRP) with profits, which seek to select a subset of customers, each one being associated with a profit, and to design service itineraries. When the sum of profits is maximized under distance…
This work reconsiders the concept of community-based trip sharing proposed by Hasan et al. (2018) that leverages the structure of commuting patterns and urban communities to optimize trip sharing. It aims at quantifying the benefits of…
The massive exploitation of robots for industry 4.0 needs advanced wireless solutions that replace less flexible and more costly wired networks. In this regard, millimeter-waves (mm-waves) can provide high data rates, but they are…
Challenges in last-mile delivery have encouraged innovative solutions like crowdsourced delivery, where online platforms leverage the services of drivers who occasionally perform delivery tasks for compensation. A key challenge is that…
Unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) are being used extensively in civilian and military applications for applications such as underground mining, nuclear plant operations, planetary exploration, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance…
We present a hybrid compositional approach for real-time mission planning for multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in a time critical search and rescue scenario. Starting with a known environment, we specify the mission using Metric…
We present an algorithm that, given a representation of a road network in lane-level detail, computes a route that minimizes the expected cost to reach a given destination. In doing so, our algorithm allows us to solve for the complex…
In this paper, a novel proximity and load-aware resource allocation for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication is proposed. The proposed approach exploits the spatio-temporal traffic patterns, in terms of load and vehicles' physical…
This paper presents an adaptive air transit network leveraging modular aerial pods and artificial intelligence (AI) to address urban mobility challenges. Passenger demand, forecasted from AI models, serves as input parameters for a…
We study the routing problem for vehicles with limited energy through a network of inhomogeneous charging nodes. This is substantially more complicated than the homogeneous node case studied in [1]. We seek to minimize the total elapsed…
