© 2024 The AuthorsRoute planning is one of the most important and attractive topics in complex networks, geographical information science (GIS) and logistics. Travelers’ route choice behaviors may affect the actual throughput of a transportation network. This study aims to …
© 2023 Elsevier LtdThis study attempts to solve a split pickup vehicle routing problem with time windows and time-dependent demand. This is a vehicle routing problem in which demand is generated at different constant rates for different customers, and vehicles …
© 2023 Elsevier B.V.We study the two-echelon location-routing system under tight synchronization constraints, in addition to several other interacting attributes. Prompted, in particular, by city-logistics applications, the system we address concerns a two-echelon distribution layout composed of a set of …
Abstract As a major real‐world problem, snow plowing has been studied extensively. However, most studies focus on deterministic settings with little urgency yet enough time to plan. In contrast, we assume a severe snowstorm with little known data and little …
© 2023In real-world routing applications such as waste collection or fuel distribution, multiple products that cannot be mixed should be jointly collected or delivered. Multi-compartment vehicles are applied with great flexibility in routing and assignment decisions for these real-world applications. …
© 2024Blood plays a critical role in humanitarian logistics, and it is essential to create an appropriate blood type supply chain (BTSC) network to manage the supply and demand of blood components efficiently, especially during crises. This paper formulates a …
© 2023 Elsevier LtdThe design of synchronized services is of great significance to the development of intermodal transportation. In the planning of Air and High-Speed Railway (HSR) integration services (AHIS), the operators aim to synchronize flight and train schedules and …
© 2023 Elsevier B.V.The adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) within last-mile deliveries is considered one of the key transformations towards more sustainable logistics. The inclusion of EVs introduces new operational constraints to the models such as a restricted driving range …
© 2023 Elsevier LtdAs an emerging and sustainable technology, electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming increasingly popular in the transportation system. However, they still have limitations in terms of energy capacity and high consumption. By implementing flexible scheduling for EV routings, …
© 2013 IEEE.This article introduces, models, and solves the time-dependent in-building delivery problem in last-mile logistics. It determines efficient travel sequences for a worker (e.g., delivery person, deliveryman, mailman, agent) who delivers goods or provides services directly to customers located …
