The resource transfer problem (RTP) is a modeling and solution framework for integrated complex scheduling and rich vehicle routing problems. It allows the modeling of a wide variety of scheduling problems, vehicle routing problems, their combination with integrated problems, as well as various...

In April 2007 new legal rules concerning the driving and working hours of truck drivers have become valid in all member countries of the European Union. In the study of Christoph Manuel Meyer the dispatchers’ problem of combined vehicle routing and break scheduling is modelled and solved using...

The scope of this volume centers on advancements in the state of art and the state of the practice in computer-aided systems in public transport. Yet, this volume illustrates a greater breadth of subjects in this area. The common theme remains the use of computer-aided methods and operations...

" This book contains selected papers from the symposium ""Operations Research 2010"" which was held from September 1-3, 2010 at the ""Universität der Bundeswehr München"", Germany. The international conference, which also serves as the annual meeting of the German Operations Research Society...

The liner shipping network design delivers schedules and routes for ships that continuously visit harbours on a closed round trip. Examples of such ships are container ships that in many cases maintain a weekly harbour visiting frequency. Volker Windeck elaborates a liner shipping network design...

Isabel Maria Staufer untersucht, inwiefern sowohl die Markenliebe als auch die ökologische Werthaltung eines Konsumenten als Steuerungsinstrumente innerhalb eines Kaufentscheidungsprozesses bei Produktinnovationen fungieren können. Auf Grundlage einer verhaltenstheoretischen Untersuchung, die...

Radikale Innovationen, insbesondere im Übergang zur Elektromobilität, stellen Wissenschaft und Wirtschaft vor große Herausforderungen. Es bedarf konsequenter und koordinierter Anstrengungen an den Schnittstellen der betriebswirtschaftlichen und ingenieurwissenschaftlichen Forschung, um sie...

Neue Entwicklungen in der Mobilität, insbesondere der Übergang in die Elektromobilität, stellen Wissenschaft und Wirtschaft vor große Herausforderungen. Es bedarf konsequenter und koordinierter Anstrengungen vieler Experten, insbesondere aus der betriebswirtschaftlichen und...

This book provides a postgraduate audience the keys they need to understand and further develop a set of tools for the efficient computation of lower bounds and valid inequalities in integer programs and combinatorial optimization problems. After discussing the classical approaches described in...

This book provides a straightforward overview for every researcher interested in stochastic dynamic vehicle routing problems (SDVRPs). The book is written for both the applied researcher looking for suitable solution approaches for particular problems as well as for the theoretical researcher...
