This study investigates the capacity of a developed production planning model to coordinate energy management within a hybrid energy system. The specific focus is on energy-intensive manufacturing firms utilizing renewable energy generation and energy storage. Unlike prior research in the field...

For some NP-hard lotsizing problems, many different heuristics exist, but they have different solution qualities and computation times depending on the characteristics of the instance. The computation times of the individual heuristics increase significantly with the problem size, so that...

Autonomous trucks are expected to fundamentally transform the freight transportation industry. In particular, Autonomous Transfer Hub Networks (ATHNs), which combine autonomous trucks on middle miles with human-driven trucks on the first and last miles, are seen as the most likely deployment...

In some traffic management situations, a cordon (a set of points at which traffic flows into a given area) is set in a road network to establish a reference for the location of equipment to implement traffic measurements and controls (e.g., traffic volume surveys and congestion charging)....
