This paper develops a bi-level control framework that considers the mixed traffic flow of autonomous vehicles (AVs) and human-driven vehicles (HVs) in transport networks. Our framework consists of a multi-class dynamic traffic assignment at the upper level to determine the optimal traffic flow splits for vehicles, while an end-to-end trajectory planning algorithm for AVs is incorporated into the lower level to attain the eco-driving strategy in the mixed traffic environment. The macroscopic decisions (e.g. traffic flow splits) at the upper level can directly affect the progression of the mixed traffic flows, while microscopic decisions (e.g. trajectory profiles) at the lower level can provide realistic feedback (e.g. link supply capacities) to guide the search direction of the upper level and ultimately improve the obtained solution. Besides, we also introduce an effective solution method for this framework that solves the mixed-integerlinearprogramming models at the upper and lower levels. Numerical results indicate that even a low penetration rate of AVs can significantly reduce fuel consumption. Furthermore, AVs can reduce the total travel time of traffic users, eventually mitigating the congestion in the networks.

This paper focuses on finding an optimal energy-aware speed trajectory of an Autonomous Electric Vehicle (AEV) considering regenerative braking capability and its limitations. A position-based Electric Vehicle (EV) energy consumption model is used to emulate vehicle-road operating conditions. It is assumed that the EV is driven in an urban area where the route is only constrained by maximum speed limits and traffic signs. The eco-driving problem is formulated as a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) problem and is solved for two different case studies to demonstrate the importance of considering regenerative braking in identifying optimal speed trajectory of AEVs. The MILP problem is coded in Python and CPLEX is used as a solver for the optimization problem. The results show a variation in the optimal speed trajectories and confirm that when regenerative braking limitations are considered in the calculations leading to an energy-aware speed trajectory, energy consumption can be reduced. This study sets forth a framework for optimizing the braking profile of an AEV by realistically taking into account the vehicle's regenerative braking limitations which ultimately yields an optimal speed trajectory.

Utilizing unmanned aerial vehicles for delivery service has been drawing attention in the logistics industry. Since commercial unmanned aerial vehicles have fundamental limitations on payloads and battery capacities, hybrid ground vehicle and unmanned aerial vehicle models have been actively investigated as practical solutions. However, these studies have focused on linehaul (delivery) demands, excluding a large number of backhaul (pickup) demands. If we consider both demands at the same time, an empty unmanned aerial vehicle that finished linehaul service can be immediately used to serve a backhaul customer. In this study, we investigate the differences that arise by considering backhauls as an additional element of the routing problem. A mixed integer linear programming model is developed, and a heuristic is constructed to solve large-scale problems. To demonstrate the effectiveness of our model, we compare it to existing models using a real-world example. Our solution is also evaluated based on experiments employing a large number of randomly generated datasets.

In this paper, we consider the network slicing problem which attempts to map multiple customized virtual network requests (also called services) to a common shared network infrastructure and allocate network resources to meet diverse quality of service (QoS) requirements. We first propose a mixedinteger nonlinear program (MINLP) formulation for this problem that optimizes the network resource consumption while jointly considers QoS requirements, flow routing, and resource budget constraints. In particular, the proposed formulation is able to flexibly route the traffic flow of the services on multiple paths and provide end-to-end (E2E) delay and reliability guarantees for all services. Due to the intrinsic nonlinearity, the MINLP formulation is computationally difficult to solve. To overcome this difficulty, we then propose a mixedintegerlinear program (MILP) formulation and show that the two formulations and their continuous relaxations are equivalent. Different from the continuous relaxation of the MINLP formulation which is a nonconvex nonlinearprogramming problem, the continuous relaxation of the MILP formulation is a polynomial time solvable linearprogramming problem, which makes the MILP formulation much more computationally solvable. Numerical results demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed formulations over existing ones.

In this paper, we reschedule the duties of train drivers one day before the operation. Due to absent drivers (e.g., because of sick leave), some trains have no driver. Thus, duties on the operation day need to be rescheduled. We start with a feasible crew schedule of the remaining operating drivers, a set of unassigned tasks which were assigned to the absent drivers, and a group of standby drivers with fixed start time, end time, start depot, and end depot. Our aim is to generate a crew schedule with as few cancelled driving tasks and changed tasks as possible. We developed a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model for short-term crew rescheduling. We also present a Tabu-Search-Based approach with the same objective function and equivalent restrictions of our mathematical model. We compare the results of the MILP model solved by Gurobi 11.0 and of the Tabu-Search-Based approach. Our Tabu-Search-Based approach takes less time and memory occupation to compute a ‘good-enough’ result. We further test the performance of our approach under different circumstances. The data used in the experiments are real data provided by Mälartåg.

We study last-mile delivery problems where trucks and drones collaborate to deliver goods to final customers. In particular, we focus on problem settings where either a single truck or a fleet with several homogeneous trucks work in parallel to drones, and drones have the capability of collaborating for delivering missions. This cooperative behavior of the drones, which are able to connect to each other and work together for some delivery tasks, enhance their potential, since connected drone has increased lifting capabilities and can fly at higher speed, overcoming the main limitations of the setting where the drones can only work independently. In this work, we contribute a Constraint programming model and a valid inequality for the version of the problem with one truck, namely the Parallel Drone Scheduling Traveling Salesman Problem with Collective Drones and we introduce for the first time the variant with multiple trucks, called the Parallel Drone Scheduling Vehicle Routing Problem with Collective Drones. For the latter version of the problem, we propose two Constraint programming models and a mixed integer linear programming model. An extensive experimental campaign leads to state-of-the-art results for the problem with one truck and some understanding of the presented models' behavior on the version with multiple trucks. Some insights about future research are finally discussed.

This paper focuses on exact approaches for the Colored Bin Packing Problem (CBPP), a generalization of the classical one-dimensional Bin Packing Problem in which each item has, in addition to its length, a color, and no two items of the same color can appear consecutively in the same bin. To simplify modeling, we present a characterization of any feasible packing of this problem in a way that does not depend on its ordering. This allows us to describe the problem with a simple mathematical model. Furthermore, we present four exact algorithms for the CBPP. First, we propose a generalization of Valerio de Carvalho's arc flow formulation for the CBPP using a graph with multiple layers, each representing a color. Second, we present an improved arc flow formulation that uses a more compact graph and has the same linear relaxation bound as the first formulation. And finally, we design two exponential set-partition models based on reductions to a generalized vehicle routing problem, which are solved by a branch-cut-and-price algorithm through VRPSolver. To compare the proposed algorithms, a varied benchmark set with 574 instances of the CBPP is presented. Experimental results show that our best model, the improved arc flow formulation, was able to solve instances of up to 500 items and 37 colors. The set-partition models are also shown to exceed their arc flow counterparts in instances with a very small number of colors.

Modelling with fuzzy relations in approximate reasoning is obstructed sometimes by the inconsistency of obtained fuzzy relational equations. This paper tackles the inconsistency resolving problem for a finite system of max-min equations by modifying only the right-hand side vector as slightly as possible with respect to the sum of absolute deviations. It is demonstrated that this problem may be reformulated equivalently as a polynomial-sized mixed integer linear programming problem. Although such a reformulation results in a problem of much larger size than its original compact form, it may be solved to optimality on instances of moderate size or even large size by an off-the-shelf solver for mixed integer linear programming and in some sense does not require a tailored solving method.

By introducing local recovery networks, regional and local environmental authorities can play an important role in facilitating the circular economy. This paper studies a network design problem that encompasses the recovery of separately collected household waste streams, which are collected in containers at civic amenity sites. We formulate a generic tactical-operational container collection problem that will be solved using a mixed integer linear programming approach. This paper makes both a theoretical and practical contribution. We are the first to study a two container vehicle capacity restriction combined with collection site inventory capacities, time windows, shift break time, and shift duration constraints. The model is applied to a number of real-life test instances and scenarios. The results provide insight in how different combinations of scenarios exactly affect the fleet requirements. This not only includes the number of trucks or information under which circumstances an additional truck would (not) be needed, but also the 12-day collection schedule for the collection crews.

This paper presents a mixed-integerlinearprogramming (MILP) unit commitment (UC) model for the envisaged virtual power line (VPL) concept, which relies on a coordinated power flow control between two battery energy storage stations (BESS) that are strategically positioned at the supply and demand side of critical transmission line corridors which could exhibit congestion in case of large scale deployment of renewable energy source (RES) stations. The proposed VPL model includes MILP constraints governing the charge/discharge mode of each BESS unit in relation to power flow constraints as well as the availability of RES power. The VPL functionality is further augmented by allocating fast-acting reserves that can be released upon detection of critical line outages, in order to provide virtual power flows through the paired BESS units. As a proof of concept, a 6-bus and the IEEE RTS-79 test system are tested under bulk RES generation. The MILP-UC model is built in GAMS software and detailed UC schedules are assessed in order to demonstrate the potential benefits that VPLs can offer as storage as a transmission-only assets (SATOAs).
