In this paper, we consider a variant of the Pickup and Delivery Problem (PDP), where any demand may be dropped off elsewhere other than its destination, picked up later by the same or another vehicle, and so on until it has reached its destination. We discuss the complexity of this problem and...

A parameter estimation method is proposed for calibrating the household activity pattern problem so that it can be used as a disaggregate, activity-based analog of the traffic assignment problem for activity-based travel forecasting. Inverse optimization is proposed for estimating parameters of...

This paper examines network design where OD demand is not known a priori, but is the subject of responses in household or user itinerary choices to infrastructure improvements. Using simple examples, we show that falsely assuming that household itineraries are not elastic can result in a lack in...

The Pickup and Delivery Problem with Shuttle routes (PDPS) is a special case of the Pickup and Delivery Problem with Time Windows (PDPTW) where the trips between the pickup points and the delivery points can be decomposed into two legs. The first leg visits only pickup points and ends at some...

We address a generalization of the asymmetric Traveling Salesman Problem where routes have to be constructed to satisfy customer requests, which either involve the pickup or delivery of a single commodity. A vehicle is to be routed such that the demand and the supply of the customers is...
