In this paper, we consider a network capacity expansion problem in the context of telecommunication networks, where there is uncertainty associated with the expected traffic demand. We employ a distributionally robust stochastic…
Finding robust solutions of an optimization problem is an important issue in practice, and various concepts on how to define the robustness of a solution have been suggested. The idea of recoverable robustness requires that a solution can…
We address the problem of localizing waste objects from a color image and an optional depth image, which is a key perception component for robotic interaction with such objects. Specifically, our method integrates the intensity and depth…
Electric vehicles face significant energy supply challenges due to long charging times and congestion at charging stations. Battery swapping stations (BSSs) offer a faster alternative for energy replenishment, but their deployment costs are…
The importance of supply chain management in analyzing and later catalyzing economic expectations while simultaneously prioritizing cleaner production aspects is a vital component of modern finance. Such predictions, though, are often known…
Accurate prediction of shear strength parameters in Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) remains a critical challenge in geotechnical engineering due to the heterogeneous nature of waste materials and their temporal evolution through degradation…
Rapid economic growth gives rise to the urgent demand for a more efficient waste recycling system. This work thereby developed an innovative recycling bin that automatically separates urban waste to increase the recycling rate. We collected…
Segregation of garbage is a primary concern in many nations across the world. Even though we are in the modern era, many people still do not know how to distinguish between organic and recyclable waste. It is because of this that the world…
The computationally-efficient solution of multi-objective optimization problems (MOPs) arising in the design of modern electromagnetic (EM) microwave devices is addressed. Towards this end, a novel System-by-Design (SbD) method is developed…
We focus on robust, survivable communication networks, where network links and nodes are affected by an uncertainty set. In this sense, any network links might fail. Besides, a signal can only travel a maximum distance before its quality…
We study the robust charging station location problem for a large-scale commercial taxi fleet. Vehicles within the fleet coordinate on charging operations but not on customer acquisition. We decide on a set of charging stations to open to…
High penetration from volatile renewable energy resources in the grid and the varying nature of loads raise the need for frequent line switching to ensure the efficient operation of electrical distribution networks. Operators must ensure…
Accurate waste classification is vital for achieving sustainable waste management and reducing the environmental footprint of urbanization. Misclassification of recyclable materials contributes to landfill accumulation, inefficient…
An operational optimization strategy for microgrid energy storage systems (ESSs) is developed to address practical user-oriented application requirements, and its effectiveness is validated using real-world operational data. First, a…
Mathematical models simulate various events under different conditions, enabling an early overview of the system to be implemented in practice, reducing the waste of resources and in less time. In project optimization, these models play a…
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have attracted substantial research interest, especially in the context of performing monitoring and surveillance tasks. However, it is challenging to strike compelling trade-offs amongst the various…
Accurate weight estimation of commercial and industrial waste is important for efficient operations, yet image-based estimation remains difficult because similar-looking objects may have different densities, and the visible size changes…
In this paper, a novel framework is proposed for optimizing the operation and performance of a large-scale, multi-hop millimeter wave (mmW) backhaul within a wireless small cell network (SCN) that encompasses multiple mobile network…
In most Swiss municipalities, a curbside system consisting of heavy trucks stopping at almost each household is used for non-recoverable waste collection. Due to the many stops of the trucks, this strategy causes high fuel consumption,…
Usage of mobile sink(s) for data gathering in wireless sensor networks(WSNs) improves the performance of WSNs in many respects such as power consumption, lifetime, etc. In some applications, the mobile sink $MS$ travels along a predefined…
