To use efficiently the infrastructure of transportation networks, control strategies have been developed with the aim to reduce negative externalities, such as congestion and pollutant emissions. Previous works demonstrated that the maximum performance achievable by traffic control policies...

An energy-efficient train trajectory corresponds to the speed profile of a train between two stations that minimizes energy consumption while respecting the scheduled arrival time and operational constraints such as speed limits. Determining this trajectory is a well-known problem in the...

The multi-drop container loading problem (MDCLP) requires loading a truck so that boxes can be unloaded at each drop-off point without rearranging other boxes to deliver later. However, modeling such unloading constraints as hard constraints, as done in the literature, considerably limits the...

The multi-commodity network flow problem (MCNF) consists in routing a set of commodities through a capacitated network at minimum cost and is relevant for routing containers in liner shipping networks. As commodity transit times are often a critical factor, the literature has introduced hard...

Railway operations are vulnerable to delays. Accurate predictions of train arrival and departure delays improve the passenger service quality and are essential for real-time railway traffic management to minimise their further spreading. This review provides a synoptic overview and discussion...

The traditional optimization of the layout of a wind farm consisted in arranging the wind turbines inside a designated area. In contrast, the 2021 tender from the UK government, Offshore Wind Leasing Round 4 ("UK Round-4") and upcoming bids only specify large regions where the wind farm can be...

Railway traffic flow in a corridor can be modeled by a string of consecutive trains, each subject to random speed variations that are described by a stochastic process. Despite analogies with car-follower models, railways include specific features and a safety system that forces vehicles to...
