The electrification of long-haul freight transport introduces several new challenges, such as the limited capacity and congestion at en-route charging infrastructure. To reduce waiting times during peak periods, this paper proposes a…
Modern communication networks are increasingly equipped with in-network computational capabilities and services. Routing in such networks is significantly more complicated than the traditional routing. A legitimate route for a flow not only…
This paper aims to address the integrated routing and appointment scheduling (RAS) problem for a single service provider. The RAS problem is an operational challenge faced by operators that provide services requiring home attendance, such…
Vehicle routing is a well-known optimization research topic with significant practical importance. Among different approaches to solving vehicle routing, heuristics can produce a satisfactory solution at a reasonable computational cost.…
School congestion, where student enrollment exceeds school capacity, is a major challenge in low- and middle-income countries. It highly impacts learning outcomes and deepens inequities in education. While subsidy programs that transfer…
Balancing traffic flow by influencing drivers' route choices to alleviate congestion is becoming increasingly more appealing in urban traffic planning. Here, we introduce a discrete dynamical model comprising users who make their own…
Bus bunching and unevenly dispersed buses along a bus line lead to a low service level and deteriorate the operational stability of the bus line. Speed adjustment as a control means has been proposed to solve the above problem. But due to…
The global transition to battery electric buses (EBs) presents an opportunity to reduce air and noise pollution in urban areas. However, the adoption of EBs introduces challenges related to limited driving range, extended charging times,…
The network structure of an urban transportation system has a significant impact on its traffic performance. This study uses network indicators along with several traffic performance measures including speed, trip length, travel time, and…
Transportation is an essential area in the nowadays society, both for business sector and citizenry. There are different kinds of transportation systems, each one with its own characteristics. In the same way, various areas of knowledge can…
Ridesharing has great potential to improve transportation efficiency while reducing congestion and pollution. To realize this potential, mechanisms are needed that allocate vehicles optimally and provide the right incentives to riders.…
Urban mobility involves many interacting components: buses, cars, commuters, pedestrians, trains etc., making it a very complex system to study. Even a bus system responsible for delivering commuters from their origins to their destinations…
We study the problem of routing vehicles with energy constraints through a network where there are at least some charging nodes. We seek to minimize the total elapsed time for vehicles to reach their destinations by determining routes as…
Mobile networks are intriguing in recent years due to their practical implications. Previous routing strategies for improving transport efficiency have little attention what order should the packets be forwarded, just simply used…
The paper focuses on composite multistage decision making problems which are targeted to design a route/trajectory from an initial decision situation (origin) to goal (destination) decision situation(s). Automobile routing problem is…
We consider a vehicle routing problem which seeks to minimize cost subject to service level constraints on several groups of deliveries. This problem captures some essential challenges faced by a logistics provider which operates…
Despite the promising benefits that ride-sharing offers, there has been a lack of research on the benefits of high-capacity ride-sharing services. Prior research has also overlooked the relationship between traffic volume and the degree of…
Global routing has been a historically challenging problem in electronic circuit design, where the challenge is to connect a large and arbitrary number of circuit components with wires without violating the design rules for the printed…
Providing transport users and operators with accurate forecasts on travel times is challenging due to a highly stochastic traffic environment. Public transport users are particularly sensitive to unexpected waiting times, which negatively…
The potential of integrating public transit with ridesharing includes shorter travel time for commuters and higher occupancy rate of personal vehicles and public transit ridership. In this paper, we describe a centralized transit system…
