Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), or aerial drones, are an emerging technology with
significant market potential. UAVs may lead to substantial cost savings in, for instance …

In this review, we provide an overview of emerging trends and challenges in the field of
intelligent and autonomous, or self-driving, vehicles. Recent advances in the field of …

We present an end-to-end framework for solving the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) using
reinforcement learning. In this approach, we train a single policy model that finds near …

Dynamic routing of electric commercial vehicles can be a challenging problem since
besides the uncertainty of energy consumption there are also random customer requests …

The development of electric vehicle (EV) techniques has led to a new vehicle routing
problem (VRP) called the capacitated EV routing problem (CEVRP). Because of the limited …

Technological advances in the last two decades have aroused great interest in the class of
dynamic vehicle routing problems (DVRPs), which is reflected in the significant growth of the …

The rise of research into shared mobility systems reflects emerging challenges, such as
rising traffic congestion, rising oil prices and rising environmental concern. The operations …

Problems in transportation and logistics had to be tackled long before computers and
Operational Research (OR) became available to support decision making. After the first …

Motivated by the growth of ridesourcing services and the expected advent of fully-
autonomous vehicles (AVs), this paper defines, models, and compares assignment …

This chapter introduces global supply chain and operations management. The underlying
issues related to the transformation process (es) and value creation are analyzed. The terms …
