This paper studies the disruption management problem of rapid transit rail networks. Besides optimizing the timetable and the rolling stock schedules, we explicitly deal with the effects of the disruption on the passenger demand.

Du et al. [Du, Y., Chen, Q., Quan, X., Long, L., Fung, R.Y.K., 2011. Berth allocation considering fuel consumption and vessel emissions. Transportation Research Part E 47, 1021–1037] dealt with a berth allocation problem incorporating ship’ fuel consumption minimization. To address the...

This research investigates whether elderly air passengers exhibit different mode choice behavior in regard to airport ground access. Using survey data from a Taiwanese sample, our results show that elderly air passengers prefer to ask family members to drive them to the airport, while general...

Changes in the shape and size of airline networks have not been explained clearly from a cost perspective based on the finding of increasing returns to density for given route structures and constant returns to scale for variable network size. We reassessed the estimates of these economies by...

This paper addresses the real-time problem of scheduling aircraft in a terminal control area. We formulate this problem via the alternative graph formulation. A rolling horizon framework is introduced to manage busy traffic situations with a large number of delayed aircraft. As scheduling...

We study a cross-dock operator’s truck scheduling problem at inbound doors in case of unknown truck arrival times. Due to uncertainty of truck arrivals, a scheduling strategy is subject to variations in costs of serving the trucks. A cost-stable scheduling strategy is defined as a schedule...

This paper examines the effect of inter-port competition between two ports by applying a game theoretical approach. We construct a non-cooperative game theoretic model where each port selects port charges strategically in the timing of port capacity investment. We derive the Nash equilibrium and...

In this paper, the problems of public transportation customers in Istanbul are addressed and their satisfaction levels are evaluated by using customer satisfaction survey and statistical analysis. A novel interval type-2 fuzzy MCDM method is proposed based on TOPSIS and GRA, to evaluate and...

This paper discusses an extension of the traditional lognormal representation for the risk neutral spot freight rate dynamics to a diffusion model overlaid with jumps of random magnitude and arrival. Then, we develop a valuation framework for options on the average spot freight rate, which are...

This paper applies an inventory transshipment modeling approach to investigate the air cargo revenue management problem for an airline operating in a two-segment network. Building upon an extension of the classic two-location inventory transshipment model, we develop a framework to optimize an...
