The multiple-choice nested knapsack problem (MCKP) is a generalization of the ordinary knapsack problem, where the set of items is partitioned into classes. The binary choice of selecting an item is replaced by taking exactly one item out of each class of items. Due to the fact that the MCKP is...

In 1997 two papers_new applying the metaheuristics Tabu Search (TS) and Heuristic Concentration (HC) tothe p-median problem were published in consecutive volumes of the European Journal of OperationalResearch. Here we apply the method of HC some of the data sets which were used for...

Die Anforderungen an die Konsumgüterdistribution verändern sich mit zunehmender Geschwindigkeit. Anhaltende Globalisierung, kürzere Produktlebenszyklen und Urbanisierung sowie neue Technologien sind Treiber dieser Veränderungen. Hinzu kommen die wachsende Bedeutung des Onlinehandels,...

Replacing combustion engine vehicles with battery electric vehicles (BEV) is essential to achieving climate objectives and advancing sustainable transportation, aligning with the United Nations Development Goals and the Paris Agreement. In this project, we identify three perception biases linked...

South Korea's strategies for deploying battery electric vehicles (BEVs) primarily include providing purchase subsidies and expanding charging infrastructure. An empirical analysis of new vehicle registrations from 2019 to 2022 shows that investing in charging facilities is more costeffective...

We use a game-theoretic model to analyze the impacts of a hypothetical fleet of plug-in electric vehicles on the imperfectly competitive German electricity market. Electric vehicles bring both additional demand and additional storage capacity to the market. We determine the effects on prices,...

Flüssige Kraftstoffe werden auch künftig eine bedeutende Rolle spielen. Andere Energiestoffe haben es schwer sich auf dem Markt durchzusetzen, teilweise weil die Infrastruktur fehlt und teilweise weil weltweit ein riesiger Fuhrpark aus Fahrzeugen mit Verbrennungsmotoren, deren Lebensdauer...
