Since sailing along the Northern Sea Route (NSR) through the Arctic Ocean comes into reality, commercial shipping developments including opening new liner services along this route have been put on the agenda. However, uncertainties within weather and ocean conditions in this region, especially...

In many urban areas and urban-rural regions, the price of electricity is not only subject to time-of-use tariffs, but also dependent on the its usage purpose or service sector, significantly varying across different geographic locations or land uses. Such a spatial price difference greatly...

As a traditional way for transporting containerized cargoes, international liner shipping has long played a dominant role in the China-Europe freight transportation market. In recent years, China Railway Express has offered a new and competitive freight transportation option, contributing to a...

In this paper, we propose a framework to estimate the yield curve in the illiquid market. Within this framework, seven different curve-fitting models are compared from four aspects with the trading data of government bonds listed in the Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE) of China. We find that the...

In transportation subnetwork–supernetwork analysis, it is well known that the origin–destination (O–D) flow table of a subnetwork is not only determined by trip generation and distribution, but also a result from traffic routing and diversion, due to the existence of internal–external,...

The multiobjective shortest path problem arises in many transportation and logistics applications, either as a stand-alone network routing problem or a subroutine of a more complex multiobjective network optimization problem. It has been addressed by different solution strategies, including...

In this paper, traffic assignment problems with stochastic travel cost perceptions are reformulated and investigated in a new unconstrained nonlinear programming formulation. The objective function of the unconstrained formulation consists of two terms, in which the first term specifies the...

As an alternative effort for quantifying recurrent traffic dynamics caused by network variations and analyzing the impact on the network performance from information provision, we describe in this paper a new equilibrium modeling scheme for stochastic networks with a finite number of states,...

This paper presents AVE and CPFR concepts and their characteristics, establishes and analyzes the AVE-based CPFR working flow, and illustrates the content of the grid resource management and the mission in relation to the corresponding grid resource management system. It focuses on the working...
