We consider a vehicle routing problem which seeks to minimize cost subject to time window and synchronization constraints. In this problem, the fleet of vehicles is categorized into regular and special vehicles. Some customers require both…

This paper focuses on the barges shipping problem, also known as the tugboats scheduling problem, within the context of a scenario where a single tugboat has the capacity to tow multiple barges and conduct multiple trips in a drop-and-pull…

This paper examines the generalisation of the Pickup and Delivery Problem that allows mid-route load exchanges among vehicles and obeys strict time-windows at all locations. We propose a novel Logic-Based Benders Decomposition (LBBD) that…

Motivated by a real-world application, we model and solve a complex staff scheduling problem. Tasks are to be assigned to workers for supervision. Multiple tasks can be covered in parallel by a single worker, with worker shifts being…

Recent developments in modular transport vehicles allow deploying multi-purpose vehicles which can alternately transport different kinds of flows. In this study, we propose a novel variant of the pickup and delivery problem, the…

Mixed service mode docks enhance efficiency by flexibly handling both loading and unloading trucks in warehouses. However, existing research often predetermines the number and location of these docks prior to planning truck assignment and…

In this paper, we study a problem that integrates the vessel scheduling problem with the berth allocation into a collaborative problem denoted as the multi-port continuous berth allocation problem (MCBAP). This problem optimizes the berth…

This article addresses the dynamic multi-skill workforce scheduling and routing problem with time windows and synchronization constraints (DWSRP-TW-SC) inherent in the on-demand home services sector. In this problem, new service requests…

This work focuses on exact methods for a Simultaneous Vehicle Routing and Crew Scheduling Problem in long-haul transport. Pickup-and-delivery requests with time windows must be fullfiled over a multi-day planning horizon. Unlike some…

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 paper addresses the Vehicle Relocation Problem in free-floating car-sharing services by presenting a solution focused on strategies for repositioning vehicles and transferring personnel with the use of scooters. Our method begins by…

Ride-pooling services, such as UberPool and Lyft Shared Saver, enable a single vehicle to serve multiple customers within one shared trip. Efficient path-planning algorithms are crucial for improving the performance of such systems. For…

We introduce an improved algorithm for the dynamic taxi sharing problem, i.e. a dispatcher that schedules a fleet of shared taxis as it is used by services like UberXShare and Lyft Shared. We speed up the basic online algorithm that looks…

Motivated by the change in mobility patterns, we present a scheduling approach for a vehicle-sharing problem, considering several alternative modes of transport, from a company viewpoint with centralized planning. We consider…

Different retail and e-commerce companies are facing the challenge of assembling large numbers of time-critical picking orders that include both small-line and multi-line orders. To reduce unproductive picker working time as in traditional…

Mobility-on-demand systems are transforming the way we think about the transportation of people and goods. Most research effort has been placed on scalability issues for systems with a large number of agents and simple pick-up/drop-off…

We study the problem of servicing a set of ride requests by dispatching a set of shared vehicles, which is faced by ridesharing companies such as Uber and Lyft. Solving this problem at a large scale might be crucial in the future for…

Mobility-on-Demand (MoD) systems have become a fixture in urban transportation networks, with the rapid growth of ride-hailing services such as Uber and Lyft. Ride-hailing is typically complemented with ridepooling options, which can reduce…

In this paper, we propose a novel, computational efficient, dynamic ridesharing algorithm. The beneficial computational properties of the algorithm arise from casting the ridesharing problem as a linear assignment problem between fleet…

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…
