With the popularization of transportation network companies (TNCs) (e.g., Uber, Lyft) and the rise of autonomous vehicles (AVs), even major car manufacturers are increasingly considering themselves as autonomous mobility-on-demand (AMoD) providers rather than individual vehicle sellers. However, matching the convenience of owning a vehicle requires...

Current mobility services cannot compete on equal terms with self-owned mobility products concerning service quality. Due to supply and demand imbalances, ridesharing users invariably experience delays, price surges, and rejections. Traditional approaches often fail to respond to demand fluctuations adequately since service levels are, to some exte...

Residents of cities' most disadvantaged areas face significant barriers to key life activities, such as employment, education, and health-care, due to the lack of mobility options. Shared autonomous vehicles (SAVs) create an opportunity to overcome this problem. By learning user demand patterns, SAV providers can improve regional service levels by...

In the realm of human urban transportation, many recent studies have shown that comparatively smaller fleets of shared autonomous vehicles (SAVs) are able to provide efficient door-to-door transportation services for city dwellers. However, because of the steady growth of e-commerce and same-day delivery services, new city logistics approaches will...

A Dynamically Configurable Autonomous Vehicle (DCAV) is a new class of autonomous vehicle concept using a separable design of lower and upper parts—carriers and modules—to allow more flexible operation. A fleet of DCAVs consists of a set of carriers and a set of compatible modules. Different, possibly crowd-sourced, modules can increase the number...

This study considers an integrated water-and land-based transportation (IWLT) system for waste collection. Research on the issue is motivated by increased heavy street movements that damage quay walls as well as congestion. We present a novel two-echelon vehicle routing problem with satellite synchronization based on a two-index formulation and eva...

Waste collection has become challenging for most cities due to the increasing population, lack of space, increased on-street traffic, and dangerous environmental and human health impacts. Amsterdam's municipality considers a hybrid over water and land waste collection system currently under testing that completely removes heavy fossil-fuelled garba...

The shared autonomous vehicle (SAV) is a new concept that meets the upcoming trends of autonomous driving and changing demands in urban transportation. SAVs can carry passengers and parcels simultaneously, making use of dedicated passenger and parcel modules on board. A fleet of SAVs could partly take over private transport, taxi, and last-mile del...

Autonomous vehicles (AVs) are expected to widely re-define mobility in the future, transforming many solutions into autonomous services. Nonetheless, this development requires an expected transition phase of several decades in which some regions will provide sufficient infrastructure for AV movements, while others will not support AVs yet. In this...

In this paper we propose a parallel heuristic to solve a broad formulation of the travel planning problem. Given a set of destinations and a travel time window, our goal is to find a route that produces a budget travel itinerary, involving plane flights, hotels, stays in each destination and departure/arrival times. When the sequence of cities is f...

In wireless sensors networks (WSNs) the efficient use of the sensors' energy is a key point to extend the network lifetime. In the literature there are several different techniques to reduce the energy consumption of the sensors. Sensor node clustering is one of these techniques commonly used. However, finding an optimal clustering in WSNs is a NP-...
