Agent-based modelling and simulation for hub and electric last mile distribution in Vienna
With the rise of e-commerce and door-to-door sales, last-mile deliveries are gaining more and more importance. As a result, last-mile distribution has become one of the most sensitive logistics processes due to its uniqueness, ... -
Agent-based simulation improves e-grocery deliveries using horizontal cooperation
E-commerce has increased tremendously in recent decades because of improvements in the information and telecommunications technology along with changes in societal lifestyles. More recently, e-grocery (groceries purchased ... -
Analysing capacity challenges in the Multi-Airport System of Mexico City
The relentless growth in Mexico City’s aviation traffic has inevitably strained capacity development of its airport, raising the dilemma between the possible solutions. In the present study, Mexico’s Multi-Airport System ... -
A biased-randomized learnheuristic for solving the team orienteering problem with dynamic rewards
In this paper we discuss the team orienteering problem (TOP) with dynamic inputs. In the static version of the TOP, a fixed reward is obtained after visiting each node. Hence, given a limited fleet of vehicles and a threshold ... -
Cooperación horizontal en problemas de rutas de vehículos con retornos
En el mundo competitivo y global en que se desarrollan las actividades de las empresas, las prácticas de cooperación entre entidades distintas suponen una gran oportunidad para aumentar la eficiencia en las operaciones. ... -
Decision making with horizontal cooperation and environmental criteria for transportation: optimization and simulation models for the vehicle routing problem and the facility location problem
Transportation is a major contributor to the development of the world economy and, at the same time, a major contributor to air pollution and global warming. Additionally, the unstoppable increase of competition as consequence ... -
Determining an optimal area to locate a biorefinery under economic and environmental criteria
Facilities location is a strategic decision which has to be carefully considered because it could involve the failure or success of a business. For that reason, anything that helps decision makers to facilitate their ... -
Electric vehicle routing, arc routing, and team orienteering problems in sustainable transportation
The increasing use of electric vehicles in road and air transportation, especially in last-mile delivery and city mobility, raises new operational challenges due to the limited capacity of electric batteries. These limitations ... -
Electric vehicles in logistics and transportation: a survey on emerging environmental, strategic, and operational challenges
Current logistics and transportation (L&T) systems include heterogeneous fleets consisting of common internal combustion engine vehicles as well as other types of vehicles using “green” technologies, e.g., plug-in ... -
Exploration of a disrupted road network after a disaster with an online routing algorithm
This paper considers the problem of supporting immediate response operations after a disaster with information about the available road network to reach certain locations. We propose an online algorithm that aims to minimize ... -
An extended behavior model for explaining the willingness to pay to reduce the air pollution in road transportation
Road transportation constitutes a key sector in developed countries, as an essential catalyst for economic and social activities. Nevertheless, it is relevant to emphasize the negative impacts of this activity identified ... -
Horizontal collaboration in freight transport: concepts, benefits and environmental challenges
Since its appearance in the 1990s, horizontal collaboration (HC) practices have revealed them-selves as catalyzers for optimizing the distribution of goods in freight transport logistics. After introducing the main concepts ... -
Internalizing negative externalities in vehicle routing problems through green taxes and green tolls
Road freight transportation includes various internal and external costs that need to be accounted for in the construction of efficient routing plans. Typically, the resulting optimization problem is formulated as a vehicle ... -
Locating a biorefinery in Northern Spain: decision making and economic consequences
Biofuels are emerging as a prominent renewable and sustainable energy sources in developed countries. In this sense, this paper presents a case study in which a biorefinery has to be sited in Northern Spain. Thus, the ... -
Managing transportation externalities in the Pyrenees region: measuring the willingness-to-pay for road freight noise reduction using an experimental auction mechanism
The estimation of the noise impact caused by road freight transportation is critical to have acknowledgment of the ambiance pollution caused by road traffic crossing geographical areas containing important natural resources. ... -
Modelling and simulation techniques for transport networks within urban areas applied to logistics and resilience
Esta tesis doctoral investiga el uso de técnicas de modelización y simulación en áreas urbanas de ciudades inteligentes, explorando a su vez cómo el big data puede usarse para alimentar estos modelos. Estas técnicas de ... -
Multi-criteria optimization for fleet size with environmental aspects
This research concerns multi-criteria vehicle routing problems. Mathematical models are formulated with mixed-integer programming. We consider maximization of capacity of truck vs. minimization of ... -
Multi-criteria simulation-optimization analysis of usage of automated parcel lockers: a practical approach
The rapid growth of electronic commerce is having an impact on the way urban logistics are organized. In metropolitan settings, the last-mile delivery problem, i.e., the problem regarding the final stage of delivering a ... -
A multicriteria analysis for the green VRP: a case discussion for the distribution problem of a Spanish retailer
This research presents the group of green vehicle routing problems with environmental costs translated into money versus production of noise, pollution and fuel consumption. This research is ...
