Ce papier propose une unification de la notation et de la modélisation des réseaux de transports à échelons multiples dans le but d'optimiser le coût global du système. Un modèle de programmation linéaire pour le NE-LRP est analysé et ses limites dans la recherche de solutions optimales...

The thesis is comprised of topics dealing with variations of the pickup and delivery problem (PDP), a subfield of commercial transportation problems. The research on PDPs has been advanced thematically and methodologically by studying new topics and developing extensions of existing algorithms...

The study contributes to fill the gap between freight transportation analysis and logistic research. It describes the model SYNTRADE, a simulation model that reproduces logistic structures in the German food retailing sector. Logistic decisions and their interdependencies are simulated based on...

The question of how to optimally design an infrastructure network that may be subject to intelligent threats is of highest interest. We address this problem by considering a Designer-Adversary game of optimal network design for the case of imperfect node defense. In this two-stage game, first...

We experimentally study the emergence of networks under a known external threat. To be more specific, we deal with the question if subjects in the role of a strategic Designer are able to form safe and efficient networks while facing a strategic Adversary who is going to attack their networks....

In a business context characterized by increased competition due to digital transformation and technological breakthroughs, massive penetration of online purchasing, greater customers' expectations and switch of manufacturing paradigms, the role of logistics has become today more critical to...

A liner shipping network design problem is considered which includes ship scheduling and cargo routing decisions. The question is how to enable loose cooperation of multiple liner shippers for jointly solving this profit maximizing network design problem. A variable neighborhood search...

Cooperation in the ocean liner shipping industry has always been important to improve liner shipping networks (LSN's). As tight cooperations like alliances are challenged by antitrust laws, looser forms of cooperation among liner carriers might become a reasonable way to increase efficiency of...
