With growing interest in sustainable logistics, electric vehicle (EV)-based deliveries offer a promising alternative for urban distribution. However, EVs face challenges due to their limited battery capacity, requiring careful planning for…

We study an extension of the classical Bin Packing Problem, where each item consumes the bin capacity during a given time window that depends on the item itself. The problem asks for finding the minimum number of bins to pack all the items…

The Bin Packing Problem (BPP) stands out as a paradigmatic combinatorial optimization problem in logistics. Quantum and hybrid quantum-classical algorithms are expected to show an advantage over their classical counterparts in obtaining…

Point matching refers to the process of finding spatial transformation and correspondences between two sets of points. In this paper, we focus on the case that there is only partial overlap between two point sets. Following the approach of…

Packing and vehicle routing problems play an important role in the area of supply chain management. In this paper, we introduce a non-linear knapsack problem that occurs when packing items along a fixed route and taking into account travel…

The logistics industry is widely regarded as a promising application domain for emerging optimization paradigms, including quantum computing. The Rider-Order Assignment problem is a practically motivated optimization problem arising in…

The Bin Packing Problem is a classic problem with wide industrial applicability. In fact, the efficient packing of items into bins is one of the toughest challenges in many logistic corporations and is a critical issue for reducing storage…

The package shipment problem requires to optimally co-design paths for both packages and a heterogeneous fleet in a transit center network (TCN). Instances arising from the package delivery industry in China usually involve more than ten…

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…

We consider a Two-Bar Charts Packing Problem (2-BCPP), in which it is necessary to pack two-bar charts (2-BCs) in a unit-height strip of minimum length. The problem is a generalization of the Bin Packing Problem (BPP). Earlier, we proposed…

With an increasing demand from emerging logistics businesses, Vehicle Routing Problem with Private fleet and common Carrier (VRPPC) has been introduced to manage package delivery services from a supplier to customers. However, almost all of…

We consider a variant of the berth allocation problem-i.e., the multi-port berth allocation problem-aimed at assigning berthing times and positions to vessels in container terminals. This variant involves optimizing vessel travel speeds…

Consolidation of loose packages into transport units is a fundamental activity offered by logistics service-providers. Moving the transport units instead of loose packages is faster (with one movement only, multiple packages are loaded…

Balanced order batching problem (BOBP) arises from the process of warehouse picking in Cainiao, the largest logistics platform in China. Batching orders together in the picking process to form a single picking route, reduces travel…

We consider the setting of online computation with advice, and study the bin packing problem and a number of scheduling problems. We show that it is possible, for any of these problems, to arbitrarily approach a competitive ratio of $1$…

In this paper we investigate the problem of simultaneously allocating orders and mobile storage racks to static pickers. Here storage racks are allocated to pickers to enable them to pick all of the products for the orders that have been…

The notion of 'resource' plays an important role in the overall efficiency and performance of most cross-docks. The processing time can often be described in terms of the resources allocated to different trucks. Conversely, for a given…

While marketing budget allocation has been studied for decades in traditional business, nowadays online business brings much more challenges due to the dynamic environment and complex decision-making process. In this paper, we present a…

In scenarios that require teamwork, we usually have at hand a variety of specific tasks, for which we need to form a team in order to carry out each one. Here we target the problem of matching teams with tasks within the context of…

In this paper, we study the {\em green bin packing} (GBP) problem where $\beta \ge 0$ and $G \in [0, 1]$ are two given values as part of the input. The energy consumed by a bin is $\max \{0, \beta (x-G) \}$ where $x$ is the total size of…
