What should we expect from innovation? : a model-based assessment of the environmental and mitigation cost implications of climate-related R&D

Bosetti, Valentina; Carraro, Carlo; Duval, Romain; … - 2010

This paper addresses two basic issues related to technological innovation and climate stabilisation objectives: i) Can … innovation policies be effective in stabilising greenhouse gas concentrations? ii) To what extent can innovation policies … technical progress in the energy sector. We evaluate a range of innovation policies, both as a stand-alone instrument and in …

Rostering at a Dutch Security Firm

Freling, Freling, R.; Piersma, N.; Wagelmans, … - Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM), … - 2001

The roster planning process at the Dutch security firm NVD was traditionally carried out by hand. A few years NVD was traditionally carried out by hand. A few years ago, because of changing labor laws in the Netherlands, this became practically impossible. We developed a decision support system...

Effective algorithms for integrated scheduling of handling equipment at automated container terminals

Meersmans, P.J.M.; Wagelmans, Wagelmans, A.P.M. - Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM), … - 2001

In this paper we consider the problem of integrated scheduling of various types of handling equipment at an automated container terminal, where the objective is to minimize the makespan of the schedule. We present a Branch & Bound algorithm that uses various combinatorial lower bounds....

Optimal Redesign of the Dutch Road Network

Snelder, M.; Wagelmans, Wagelmans, A.P.M.; Schrijver, J.M. - Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM), … - 2005

The Dutch national road network has been developed over several decades. In the past, roads were constructed according to the then current spatial and transportation planning philosophies. Because the existing road network is a result of a long process of successive developments, the question...

Applying an Integrated Approach to Vehicle and Crew Scheduling in Practice

Huisman, Dennis; Freling, Freling, R.; Wagelmans, … - Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM), … - 2000

This paper deals with a practical application of an integrated approach to vehicle and crew scheduling, that we have developed previously. Computational results have shown that our approach can be applied to problems of practical size. However, application of the approach to the actual problems...

A decision support system for crew planning in passenger transportation using a flexible branch-and-price algorithm

Freling, Freling, R.; Lentink, Lentink, R.M.; … - Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM), … - 2001

This paper discusses a decision support system for airline and railway crew planning. The system is a state-of-the-art branch-and-price solver that is used for crew scheduling and crew rostering. We briefly discuss the mathematical background of the solver, of which most part is covered in the...
