The inventory routing problem is a complex topic recognized by the scientific literature. This work shows up this kind of problem, particularly a problem with freight traffic indicator as an objective for optimization, also a mathematical model and procedure for the resolution of this problem in...

We study the problem of managing queues in online food-ordering services where customers, who place orders online and pick up at the store, are offered a common quote time, i.e., the promised pick-up time minus the time the order is placed. The objective is to minimize the long-run average...

Comprehensive global decarbonization requires transportation services cease to rely on fossil fuels for power generation. This paper develops a generic, time-driven life-cycle cost model for mobility services to address two closely related questions central to the emergence of clean energy...

On-time last-mile delivery is expanding rapidly as people expect faster delivery of goods ranging from grocery to medicines. Managing on-time delivery systems is challenging because of the underlying uncertainties and combinatorial nature of the routing decision. In practice, the efficiency of...

In recent years, the concept of carpooling, along with the use of public transport for office commute, has been increasing in popularity due to the environmental benefits. In this study, we define Office Bus Routing Problem (OBRP) as a variant of the School Bus Routing Problem (SBRP) in which we...

The problem of dispatching shuttles to serve trip requests can be mathematically formulated as a dial-a-ride problem (DARP). With on-demand mobility services gaining more popularity due to the recent developments in gig economy, communication technologies, and urbanization, the real-time...

This study examined the effect of airport operators’ passenger service facility charge (PSFC) on airport and airline firms’ revenues, using demand and airfare functions estimated from Japanese data. In particular, it explored the relationship between PSFC and elasticity of airline routes,...

Low-carbon economy roadmaps aim to reduce transport emissions by relying, at least to some extent, on electric vehicles. The uptake of electric vehicles on a mass scale requires the simultaneous adoption of such vehicles for private and commercial purposes. Although literature regarding the...

We consider the fleet repositioning problem for a free-floating vehicle sharing system. The objective is to decide on the vehicle distribution dynamically in the network in order to maximize the long-run average social welfare, i.e., to match the vehicle supply and travel demand at the least...
