The Relationship between Vehicle Routing & Scheduling and Green Logistics - A Literature Survey

Sbihi, Abdelkader; Eglese, Richard W. - HAL - 2007

The basic Vehicle Routing and Scheduling Problem (VRSP) is described followed by an outline of solution approaches. Different variations of the basic VRSP are examined that involve the consideration of additional constraints or other changes in the structure of the appropriate model. An...

Risk aversion, the value of information and traffic equilibrium

Palma, André De; Lindsey, Robin; Picard, Nathalie - HAL - 2008

Information about traffic conditions has traditionally been conveyed to drivers by radio and variable message signs, and more recently via the Internet and Advanced Traveler Information Systems. This has spurred research on how travelers respond to information, how much they are willing to pay...

Spatial asymmetric duopoly with an application to Brussels' airports

Dunkerley, Fay; Palma, André De; Proost, Stef - HAL - 2008

numerical model is then applied to the two Brussels airports. Three stylised policies are implemented to address the congestion … problem: expansion of transport capacity; congestion pricing; and a direct subsidy to the uncongested facility. Our results …. Congestion pricing is the most effective policy tool but all three options are shown to have attractive attributes. …

Public Transit Capacity and Users Choice: AnExperiment on Downs-Thomson Paradox

Denant-Boemont, Laurent; Hammiche, Sabrina - HAL - 2009

We study the Downs-Thomson paradox, a situation where an additional road capacitycan cause an overall increase in transport generalized cost and therefore a decrease in welfarefor transport users. To this end, we build an experiment based on a double market-entrygame (DMEG) where users have to...

Trip timing and scheduling preferences

Fosgerau, Mogens; Palma, André De; Karlstrom, Anders; … - HAL - 2012

emphasis of this project is the importance of trip timing as a cause of congestion. It is important to recognize that departure … time is a choice of travellers and that congestion arises because many travellers choose to travel at the same time. The …

Shouting to be Heard in Advertising

Anderson, Simon P.; Palma, André De - HAL - 2012

Advertising competes for scarce consumer attention, so more profitable advertisers send more messages to break through the others' clutter. Multiple equilibria can arise: more messages in aggregate induce more "shouting to be heard", dissipating profit. Equilibria can involve a small range of...

The dynamics of urban traffic congestion and the price of parking

Fosgerau, Mogens; Palma, André De - HAL - 2012

We consider commuting in a congested urban area. While an efficient time-varying toll may eliminate queuing, a toll may not be politically feasible. We study the benefit of a substitute: a parking fee at the workplace. An optimal time-varying parking fee is charged at zero rate when there is...
