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...

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...

Traffic management is crucial for improving the punctuality and reliability of train operations, enabling train operating companies to maintain their competitiveness and further increases the share and profits. We study the train rescheduling problem with the inclusion of passenger choices and...

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...

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...
