Armed with improved targeting technology, firms are increasingly interested in optimizing their advertising dollars through consumer segment-specific targeting, particularly while introducing new products. That task becomes especially important in markets with distinct consumer segments – the...

We formulate a dynamic facility location model for a firm locating on a discrete network. It is assumed that this locating firm will act as the leader firm in an industry characterized by Stackelberg leader–follower competition. The firm’s I competitors are assumed to act as Cournot firms...

We consider online display advertisement publishers who maximize the revenue by optimal pricing in an oligopoly setting. Each publisher interacts with others through setting cost-per-impression (CPM) that affects the demand for everyone. Using the pseudoconcavity of the objective function, we...

In this paper we present a dual-time-scale formulation of dynamic user equilibrium (DUE) with demand evolution. Our formulation belongs to the problem class that Pang and Stewart (2008) refer to as differential variational inequalities. It combines the within-day time scale for which route and...

Traffic assignment is a set of criteria through which the demand for mobility is distributed over the links of a transport network. Over the last 30 years, Dynamic Traffic Assignment (DTA) models have been developed to support time-dependent analyses in nascent fields that need to take into...

This handbook provides sophisticated models for the study and analysis of activities involving the transportation of hazardous materials: risk assessment, shipment and route planning, decisions on location and emergency planning for terrorist attacks.
