Tao, W. (author), Zhu, Man (author), Chen, Shengyong (author), Cheng, Xu (author), Wen, Yuanqiao (author), Zhang, Weidong (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author), Pang, Y. (author)Vessels sailing in a single platoon could reduce resistance from the perspective of the whole platoon and the individual vessel, and contribute to improving energy benefits. Moreover, transportation energy costs and traffic efficiency are essential indicators for measuring waterborne transportation systems. We attempt to minimize...journal article 2023

Zhang, Y. (author), Atasoy, B. (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author)Decision-makers in synchromodal transport (ST) have different preferences toward different objectives, such as cost, time, and emissions. To solve the conflicts among objectives and obtain preferred solutions, a preference-based multi-objective optimization model is developed. In ST, containers need to be transferred across modes, therefore...journal article 2022

Xin, J. (author), Meng, Chuang (author), D'Ariano, Andrea (author), Wang, Dongshu (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author)Energy consumption is expected to be reduced while maintaining high productivity for container handling. This paper investigates a new energy-efficient scheduling problem of automated container terminals, in which quay cranes (QCs) and lift automated guided vehicles (AGVs) cooperate to handle inbound and outbound containers. In our scheduling...journal article 2022

Wang, X. (author), Shipurkar, U. (author), Haseltalab, A. (author), Polinder, H. (author), Claeys, Frans (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author)Ship hybridization has received some interests recently in order to achieve the emission target by 2050. However, designing and optimizing a hybrid propulsion system is a complicated problem. Sizing components and optimizing energy management control are coupled with each other. This paper applies a nested double-layer optimization...journal article 2021

Armenta, Carlos (author), Delprat, Sebastien (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author), Haseltalab, A. (author), Lauber, Jimmy (author), Dambrine, Michel (author)Pontryagin’s Minimum Principle is a way of solving hybrid powertrain optimal energy management. This paper presents an improvement of a classical implementation. The core of this improvement consists in relaxing the tolerance on some intermediate steps of the algorithm in order to reduce the number of iterations and thereby reducing the...journal article 2021

Wang, K. (author), Yan, Xinping (author), Yuan, Yupeng (author), Jiang, X. (author), Lodewijks, G. (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author)In the case of the global energy crisis and the higher sound of energy saving and emission reduction, how to take effective management measures of ship energy efficiency to achieve the goal of energy saving and emission reduction, put forward a new challenge for the development of shipping technology. The application of big data technology...conference paper 2017

Hjortnaes, T. (author), Wiegmans, B. (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author), Zuidwijk, R.A. (author), Klijnhout, R. (author)Shipping companies are striving to optimize their empty container repositioning strategies which also contribute to reduced congestion and environmental improvements. In this paper we propose a multi-commodity model that makes an explicit distinction between flows of non-damaged containers, on the one hand, and flows of damaged containers, on...journal article 2017
