He, P. (author), Jin, Jian Gang (author), Trépanier, Martin (author), Schulte, F. (author)The burden of first-mile connection to public transit stations is a key barrier that discourages riders from taking public transportation. Public transit agencies typically operate a modest fleet of vehicles to provide first-mile services due to the high operating costs, thus failing to adequately meet the first-mile travel demands,...journal article 2024

He, P. (author), Jin, Jian Gang (author), Schulte, F. (author)Airport buses play a crucial role in addressing the last-mile problem of air travel, especially in cities and countries lacking inner-city rail transit systems. Nevertheless, airport buses are currently witnessing a decline in ridership due to drawbacks such as long departure intervals, inflexible stops, and considerable distances between...journal article 2024

Xin, Jianbin (author), Meng, Chuang (author), D'Ariano, Andrea (author), Schulte, F. (author), Peng, Jinzhu (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author)This paper investigates a novel routing problem of a multi-robot station in a manufacturing cell. In the existing literature, the objective is to minimize the cycle time or energy consumption separately. The routing problem considered in this paper aims to reduce the cycle time and energy consumption jointly for each robot while avoiding...journal article 2023

He, P. (author), Jin, Jian Gang (author), Schulte, F. (author), Trépanier, Martin (author)Travel to intercity transportation hubs, such as railway stations and airports, can be the most troublesome and inefficient part of the entire air/railway travel journey, as travelers often carry large luggage and have stringent arrival time requirements. Taking public transportation, such as metro and bus services, is inconvenient to carry...journal article 2023

Kortekaas, Joris J.A. (author), Beirigo, Breno A. (author), Schulte, F. (author)A Dynamically Configurable Autonomous Vehicle (DCAV) is a new class of autonomous vehicle concept using a separable design of lower and upper parts—carriers and modules—to allow more flexible operation. A fleet of DCAVs consists of a set of carriers and a set of compatible modules. Different, possibly crowd-sourced, modules can increase the...conference paper 2023

Sigl, Martin (author), Prins, Binnert (author), Schutz, Christoph (author), Wagner, Sebastian (author), Schulte, F. (author), Watzenig, Daniel (author)One of the major challenges in the development of Automated Driving is its assessment. It is expected that Automated Vehicles behave differently than human drivers. Therefore, mixed human-robot traffic will yield different and new driving situations as human-only traffic. It is important to know how this mixed traffic will change the...conference paper 2023

Pourmohammadzia, N. (author), Schulte, F. (author), González-Ramírez, Rosa G. (author), Voß, Stefan (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author)Modern ports face significant challenges as strategic nodes of global supply chains, being responsible for the coordination of inbound and outbound flows at deep-sea and in hinterland transport corridors. Digitization and the adoption of disruptive technologies can help ports to tide over operational challenges. Automated Ground Vehicles ...journal article 2023

Tang, X. (author), Schulte, F. (author)Storage space management in bulk terminals has become an important focus for research and practical operation due to the increasing demand for bulk cargo and limited storage space in stockyards. The study of storage space management in dry bulk terminals is less thorough and comprehensive, and the existing research investigates the storage...conference paper 2023

Wenzel, P.A. (author), Jovanovic, Raka (author), Schulte, F. (author)Ensuring the accuracy of the estimated time of arrival (ETA) information for ships approaching ports and inland terminals is increasingly critical today. Waterway transportation plays a vital role in freight transportation and has a significant ecological impact. Improving the accuracy of ETA predictions can enhance the reliability of inland...conference paper 2023

Lyu, X. (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author), Shi, Xiaoning (author), Schulte, F. (author)Traditionally, terminal operators create an initial berthing plan before the arrival of incoming vessels. This plan involves decisions on when and where to load or discharge containers for the calling vessels. However, disruptive unforeseen events (i.e., arrival delays, equipment breakdowns, tides, or extreme weather) interfere with the...journal article 2022

Alves Beirigo, B. (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author), Alonso-Mora, J. (author), Schulte, F. (author)With the popularization of transportation network companies (TNCs) (e.g., Uber, Lyft) and the rise of autonomous vehicles (AVs), even major car manufacturers are increasingly considering themselves as autonomous mobility-on-demand (AMoD) providers rather than individual vehicle sellers. However, matching the convenience of owning a vehicle...journal article 2022

Los, J. (author), Schulte, F. (author), Gansterer, Margaretha (author), Hartl, Richard F. (author), Spaan, M.T.J. (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author)Carriers can remarkably reduce transportation costs and emissions when they collaborate, for example through a platform. Such gains, however, have only been investigated for relatively small problem instances with low numbers of carriers. We develop auction-based methods for large-scale dynamic collaborative pickup and delivery problems,...journal article 2022

Lyu, X. (author), Schulte, F. (author)Berth allocation is fundamental to port-related operations in maritime shipping. Port managers have to deal with the increasing demands either by expanding the terminals or by improving efficiency to maintain competitiveness.
