This thesis develops mathematical programming models which integrate network design (ND) and line frequency setting (LF S) phases. These appear in transport planning studies that extend an existing urban public transportation system (UP T S) and are suitable for underground and rapid transit systems. The ND phase extends the working UP T S, taking as inputs the locations of candidate stretches and stations on the new lines, as well as construction costs which cannot exceed the available infrastructure budget. Regarding the LF S phase, frequencies and vehicles are assigned to functioning and newly built lines, providing that they do not exceed link frequency capacities, vehicle acquisition budgets, and time horizons. The developed models take into account the type of service patterns that may operate on the lines of the transport system. They include local services, where vehicles halt at every node in the line, and express services, in which vehicles halt at only a subset of nodes in the line. A passenger assignment model solves the ND and LF S phases at the same time a global optimum under inelastic demand. The combined model has two variants: one which deals with inelastic demand and another which faces elasticities in demand. The latter originates from changes in the modal choice proportions of travelers and may result from modifications in the public transport system. The former does not take into account competition among several modes of transportation and it is formulated as a mixed-integer linear programming problem. In contrast, the latter allows passengers to travel via two modes of transportation: public transport and private car. It is formulated as a mixed-integerlinear bilevel programming problem (MILBP ) with discrete variables only in the upper level. In both models, a complementary network is used to model transfers among lines and to reach the passenger's origin and/or destination nodes when the constructedUP T S does not cover them. The model wit

Traffic signal control is a key ingredient in intelligent transportation systems (ITS) to increase the capacity of existing urban transportation infrastructure. However, to achieve optimal system-wide operation it is essential to coordinate traffic signals at various intersections. In this paper we model the multiple-intersections traffic signal control problem using the cell transmission model. For its solution, we propose two online distributed strategies, which are based on spatially and temporally decomposing the problem into subproblems associated with different intersections and iteratively solving them by exchanging information between neighboring intersections. Simulation results for a four intersection topology indicate that the proposed strategies achieve distributed, online and close to optimal signal timing plans.

This paper reports on research conducted on the Optimal Reconfiguration (OR) of distribution networks using mixedintegerlinearprogramming (MILP). It describes a new solution algorithm, called HYPER, which finds the minimum loss on/off status of line switches, shunt capacitors and distributed generators. This approach allows the full linearization of the OR problem, which can then be solved using efficient and commercially available MILP solvers like CPLEX. It stands out by its relative ease of implementation, guaranteed optimality and feasibility, range of applications and consideration of practical concerns.

One of the most common applications of the AC optimal power flow (ACOPF) in distribution systems is the network reconfiguration problem, which consists of altering the topology of the network in order to optimize a given objective function - usually, minimizing ohmic losses. We propose a mixed-integer linear programming reformulation of the network reconfiguration problem for distribution systems, under full modeling of the ACOPF equations. The proposed formulation captures the non-linear behavior of the electrical network via approximations of arbitrary accuracy, allows the representation of discrete decisions via integer decision variables, and can be solved to global optimality with commercially available optimization solvers. The applicability of the proposed formulation is indicated with help of case studies.

The aerospace supply chain network has evolved and become more complex over the years. New methods are needed to design and analyze the system, and to establish the interactions between aircraft (product) design and supply chain (process) design. This paper aims to introduce a strategic multi-product, multi-period design model for the manufacturing of an aircraft wing-box with a planning horizon of the full program duration. The supply chain systems consist of a number of external suppliers, candidate manufacturing sites, and a number of customers at fixed locations. The design model is a mixed-integer linear programming optimization routine that minimizes the total time-discounted network cost. The model generates a system configuration that specifies the location and capacity of the manufacturing sites, the material flow, and the transportation routes within the network. The model is implemented using open-source tools, and has a comprehensive and flexible data structure to support the decision-making process during the early aircraft design stages.

With the developments in linearprogramming code, a mixedintegerlinearprogramming (MILP)-based approaches have started to attract more attention in the word, some new linearization methods have been proposed. In this paper, MILP formulation of short-term scheduling for cascaded plants with pumped-storage units is established, for the nonlinear factors such as nonlinear hydroelectric production function, the characteristics of pumped-storage units, minimum/maximum down/up time of hydro units, etc. A new practical and systematic linearization approach is proposed. Some integer variables are introduced such that the problem is formulated as MILP. Numerical testing results show that the MILP formulation given in this paper is efficient and effective.

Automation is acknowledged by distribution utilities as a successful investment strategy to enhance reliability and operation efficiency. However, practical approaches that can handle the complex decision-making process faced by decision makers to justify the long-term financial effects of distribution automation have remained scarce. An automated and remote-controlled sectionalizing switch play a fundamental role in an automated distribution network. This paper introduces a new optimization approach for distribution automation in terms of automated and remotely controlled sectionalizing switch placement. mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) is utilized to model the problem. The proposed model can be solved with large-scale commercial solvers in a computationally efficient manner. The proposed sectionalizing switch placement problem considers customer outage costs in conjunction with sectionalizing switch capital investment, installation, as well as annual operation and maintenance costs. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is tested on a reliability test system and a typical real size system. The presented results indicate the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method.
