Problem definition: We study the combined value of partial demand visibility and flexible capacity, two hedging mechanisms against demand uncertainty, when signing capacity contracts with temporal commitment. Academic/Practical Relevance: With new technological innovations, short commitment...

Problem definition. We study a point-to-point transportation problem, where the transportation planner can use both shuttles and mobility-on-demand vehicles (MoDs) to serve the incoming random demand of passengers.A natural example is the problem of employee commute, a setting where employers...

This paper develops approaches for incorporating informational and operational dynamics within models for intermodal drayage operations with flexible tasks. Tasks with flexible origins or destinations create an important complexity. We develop models to minimize the cost of drayage moves when...
