The Delay Management Problem for Public Transportation (DMP) arises in the context of the operational management of an intermodal public transportation network and has the aim of increasing the attractiveness of the network itself. Many passengers often have to use different lines to cover the trip from their origin to the desired destination and t...
Article
Motivated by an application in highway pricing, we consider the problem that consists in setting profit-maximizing tolls on a clique subset of a multicommodity transportation network. We formulate the problem as a linear mixed integer program and propose strong valid inequalities, some of which define facets of the two-commodity polyhedron. The num...

This paper considers a single-vehicle Dial-a-Ride Problem in which customers may experience stochastic delays at their pickup locations. If a customer is absent when the vehicle serves the pickup location, the request is fulfilled by an alternative service (e.g., a taxi) whose cost is added to the total cost of the tour. In this case, the vehicle s...
