COVID-19 has reshaped the global airline industry. Travel demands are volatile, and passengers have more flexibility in bookings and cancellations. More than ever, airlines have to be agile and adaptive while making operational decisions. We introduce a dynamic model to help airlines make...

Drones attract increasing attention in the last decades as a means for last mile delivery; they are mainly considered as supplement delivery tools that work jointly with trucks. In this paper, we develop a Covering Salesman Problem with Nodes and Segments Using Drones (CSPNS-D) and formulate...

The Competition Law Review Committee suggested that Insolvency Resolution Plans ("IRPs") that result in combinations unlikely to have an Appreciable Adverse Effect be green-channelled in July 2019.

The cities face the challenge of optimizing investments into waste management to meet the EU standards while maintaining economic affordability. One of the issues is the optimal location for specialized waste collection points. The main target is to find the lowest number of collection points...

This paper presents an innovative in-depth investigation of the origin of the multi attribute vehicle routing problems (MAVRPs) and the current state in literature. The investigation includes description of the attributes, solving methods and current results. Four attributes are prioritized:...

Crowdshipping services require heterogeneous resource modelling as the supply of service is occasional. Classical routing problem such as the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) assumes vehicles' similarity; therefore, this research study is questioning this similarity by considering a unique vehicle...

Urban last-mile delivery providers are facing more and more challenges with the explosive development of e-commerce. The advancement of smart mobile and communication technology in recent years has stimulated the development of a new business model of city logistics, referred to as crowdsourced...

The paper presents continuous and both capacitated/uncapacitated location-allocation problem (LAP) concerning location of distribution centers (DCs) and their allocation to groups of customers (stores) served by a retail physical distribution network. The primary purpose is to develop a model of...

We consider the coordinated vehicle platooning problem over a road network with time constraints and the routes of vehicles are given. The problem is to coordinate the departure time of each vehicle to enable platoon formation hence maximizing the total fuel saving. We first focus on the case...
