Selective vehicle routing for a mobile blood donation system
Şahinyazan, Feyza Güliz; Kara, Bahar Y.; Taner, … - In: European Journal of Operational Research 245 (2015) 1, pp. 22-34
In this study, a mobile blood collection system is designed with the primary objective of increasing blood collection levels. This design also takes into account operational costs to aim for collection of large amounts of blood at reasonable cost. Bloodmobiles perform direct tours to certain...

HOPS – Hamming-Oriented Partition Search for production planning in the spinning industry
Camargo, Victor C.B.; Toledo, Franklina M.B.; … - In: European Journal of Operational Research 234 (2014) 1, pp. 266-277
In this paper, we investigate a two-stage lot-sizing and scheduling problem in a spinning industry. A new hybrid method called HOPS (Hamming-Oriented Partition Search), which is a branch-and-bound based procedure that incorporates a fix-and-optimize improvement method is proposed to solve the...

Generalized local branching heuristics and the capacitated ring tree problem
HILL, Alessandro; VOß, Stefan - Faculteit Toegepaste Economische Wetenschappen, … - 2014
In this paper we present a heuristic framework that is based on mathematical programming to solve network design problems. Our techniques combine local branching with locally exact refinements. In an iterative strategy an existing solution is refined by solving restricted mixed integer programs...

Integration of the cost allocation in the optimization of collaborative bundling
Vanovermeire, Christine; Sörensen, Kenneth - In: Transportation Research Part E: Logistics and … 72 (2014) C, pp. 125-143
A model is proposed that integrates a cost allocation method – the Shapley value – into the optimization of the synchronized consolidation of transportation orders. By balancing each partner’s delivery date changes (when synchronizing) against its allocated profit, it ensures that the...

Forecasting urban highway travel for year 2005
Miaou, Shaw-Pin; Rathi, A.K.; Southworth, F.; Greene, D.L. - 2008
As part of a study aimed at estimating suburban highway needs for year 2005, models were developed for forecasting daily vehicle miles of travel (DVMT) for urban areas and its distribution by highway functional class, urban location, and urban area size. A regression model combining both time...
