The ever-growing diffusion of automation in road transport and the spreading of communication technologies applied to road infrastructures toward so-called smart roads is leading to a need for coordination methods for automated vehicles, to fully exploit the potentialities of such technologies...

We consider two alternative preference specifications for optimal departure time choices: the classical asymmetric linear loss for early and late delays, and a new specification based on asymmetric quadratic loss. We demonstrate that the resulting optimal choices correspond to the tail indices...

Intercontinental rail freight transport has made significant strides in recent years, demonstrating its potential as a critical player in the global supply chain, such as Eurasian rail freight transport. However, Eurasian rail freight transport encounters challenges, including the presence of...

We tackle the integrated planning problem of periodic timetabling and electric vehicle scheduling, crucial for cities transitioning to electric bus fleets. Given existing timetables, we allow only minor modifications and propose an iterative solution approach that addresses the Electric Vehicle...

Oil and gas extraction from offshore platforms usually requires regular helicopter transport to shuttle personnel to these remote sites. Effective organization and scheduling of flights to these maritime units ensure uninterrupted services, enhance operational efficiency, and guarantee service...

This survey paper discusses the literature on Operations Research (OR) models and algorithms for railway planning in the last decades. Since infrastructure and rolling stock are two resources that are both very capital-intensive and characterize the railway system, we focus on timetabling and...
