Amsterdam Airport Schiphol aims to have a fully autonomous taxibot fleet that can taxi all incoming and outgoing flights by 2050. To support the transition towards this future state, wherein the demand for taxibots will initially be higher than the supply and operational concepts will continuously evolve, a flexible taxibot allocation model is...

Optimizing the routes of firefighting aircraft can reduce the time it takes to contain wildfires and make sure they remain within control. In this paper, a novel formulation of the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) is developed to improve aerial firefighting operations by optimizing aircraft routes. The formulation is a capacitated split delivery...

Vehicle routing problems have been studied for more than 50 years, and their in- terest has never been higher. It is partly due to their significant economic impact. Decreasing the traveling time, certainly for big organizations, can save costs in the range of millions of dollars and increase their service quality. Moreover, the wide variety of...

Vehicle routing problems (VRP) and Container Loading Problems (CLP) have been studied for decades. However, the combination of the two deserves more attention than in the literature to date. When solving VRP problems, computed routes must be checked for feasibility. Among the feasibility checks to perform, we need to guarantee that the load plan...

Demand for online grocer Picnic has increased exponentially over the past years, and their truck transport operation must scale with it. Given the resource constraints at all warehouses, as well as other specific restrictions, this poses a Multi Depot Pickup and Delivery Problem with Resource Constraints, for which no good solutions are found to...

Realistic vehicle routing problems have been highly relevant for years in a wide variety of domains. One such domain is food delivery, where well-crafted routes can reduce costs and contribute to customer satisfaction. This thesis formulates a problem variant for the restaurant meal delivery problem in order to examine the reoptimization of meal...

Vehicle routing problems (VRPs), a generalization of the traveling salesman problem, are extensively studied combinatorial optimization problems for their practical application. Many solution methods, e.g., exact and heuristic algorithms, have been proposed in the last few decades but require relatively much computation time due to the NP-hard...

In order to reduce aircraft emissions during on-ground operations, electric taxiing systems (ETS) have been intensively researched to take over or assist in part of the taxiing phase of a flight. One of these ETS is the TaxiBot, deployed by Smart Airport Systems (SAS). While a number of papers have been researching this vehicle routing problem ...

Fleet planning is a complex problem which consists of selecting an optimal fleet of vehicles at the right moment in time to serve a specific demand while subject to different operational constraints. While Operations Research (OR) has mainly focused on long-term strategical fleet planning optimisation, certain operators such as humanitarian air...

This paper studies a variation of the pickup and delivery formulation with time windows which is applied to air cargo export operations. The formulation is extended using three factors. 1) Pickup nodes are positioned at freight forwarders. Delivery nodes are located at ground handlers. Trucks can only visit one freight forwarder. 2) Dock...

Intention Aware Routing System is a route-planning algorithm for electric vehicles that minimizes overall travel time by taking into consideration congestion at charging stations. This paper extends this algorithm to allow choices to be made based on prices at charging stations. The goal of this paper is to find a way to minimize maximum...

This paper introduces an electricity price extension to the intention-aware routing system (IARS) for electric vehicles (EV). The existing intention-aware routing system is used to route electric vehicles who require to charge en-route through a road network. To achieve the objective of minimising the average journey time, the intentions of EVs...

Inefficiency in trucking has both economical and ecological consequences. In literature, horizontal collaboration is identified as one of the most promising solutions to this problem. However, collaboration is not often encountered in trucking industry, since carriers are hesitant to join collaborations. This is caused by a fear of sharing...
