An exact optimization method for coordinating the arrival times of urban rail lines at a common corridor

The trips of a high-frequency urban rail line are typically planned with the aim of achieving even time headways. This results in reliable services for each urban rail line, where successive trips have the same time headway. Maintaining even time headways for each service line has significant advantages for the passengers of the line, but it...

Coordinated optimization of equipment operations on a container terminal: Gecoordineerde optimalisatie van machine operaties op een container terminal

Increased international marine transport has increased the use of containers. This goes hand in hand with the increased demand for well-functioning container terminals. The speed at which containers can be handled on the container terminal is an important performance indicator for container terminals. In particular, the productivity of the Quay...
