The rapid growth of online retail and e-commerce has made effective and efficient Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) solutions essential. To meet rising demand, companies are adding more depots, which changes the VRP problem to a complex…

This paper introduces the Capacitated Covering Salesman Problem (CCSP), approaching the notion of service by coverage in capacitated vehicle routing problems. In CCSP, locations where vehicles can transit are provided, some of which have…

Electrifying demand-responsive transport systems need to plan the charging infrastructure carefully, considering the trade-offs of charging efficiency and charging infrastructure costs. Earlier studies assume a fully electrified fleet and…

High-tech giants and start-ups are investing in drone technologies to provide urban air delivery service, which is expected to solve the last-mile problem and mitigate road traffic congestion. However, air delivery service will not scale up…

The paper develops a novel design optimization framework and associated computational techniques for staged deployment optimization of complex systems under operational uncertainties. It proposes a local scenario discretization method that…

Underwater robot interventions require a high level of safety and reliability. A major challenge to address is a robust and accurate acquisition of localization estimates, as it is a prerequisite to enable more complex tasks, e.g. floating…

In this letter, a novel framework to deliver critical spread out URLLC services deploying unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in an out-of-coverage area is developed. To this end, the resource optimization problem, i.e., resource blocks (RBs)…

Bike sharing is a vital component of a modern multi-modal transportation system. However, its implementation can lead to bike supply-demand imbalance due to fluctuating spatial and temporal demands. This study proposes a comprehensive…

This paper investigates the water network's potential ability to provide demand response services to the power grid under the framework of a distribution-level water-energy nexus (micro-WEN). In particular, the hidden controllability of…

The increasing spreading of small commercial Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs, aka drones) presents serious threats for critical areas such as airports, power plants, governmental and military facilities. In fact, such UAVs can easily disturb…

In modern networking research, infrastructure-assisted unmanned autonomous vehicles (UAVs) are actively considered for real-time learning-based surveillance and aerial data-delivery under unexpected 3D free mobility and coordination. In…

Cloud computing datacenters provide millions of virtual machines in actual cloud markets. In this context, Virtual Machine Placement (VMP) is one of the most challenging problems in cloud infrastructure management, considering the large…

It has been considered that urban air mobility (UAM), also known as drone-taxi or electrical vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL), will play a key role in future transportation. By putting UAM into practical future transportation, several…

We study a joint facility location and cost planning problem in a competitive market under random utility maximization (RUM) models. The objective is to locate new facilities and make decisions on the costs (or budgets) to spend on the new…

Multi-Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Networks is a promising solution to providing wireless coverage to ground users in challenging rural areas (such as Internet of Things (IoT) devices in farmlands), where the traditional cellular networks…

Navigating autonomous vehicles in open scenarios is a challenge due to the difficulties in handling unseen objects. Existing solutions either rely on small models that struggle with generalization or large models that are…

This paper optimizes the scheduling and routing of the co-flows of MapReduce shuffling phase in state-of-the-art and proposed Passive Optical Networking (PON)-based Data Centre Network (DCN) architectures. A time-slotted Mixed Integer…

Collaborative transportation of heavy payloads via loco-manipulation is a challenging yet essential capability for legged robots operating in complex, unstructured environments. Centralized planning methods, e.g., holistic trajectory…

This paper investigates a multi-Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) joint base station-assisted Internet of Vehicles (IoV) task offloading system in dense urban environments. To minimize system delay and energy consumption under strict coupling…

In high-density environments where numerous autonomous agents move simultaneously in a distributed manner, streamlining global flows to mitigate local congestion is crucial to maintain overall navigation efficiency. This paper introduces a…
