We consider the vehicle-routing problem with stochastic demands (VRPSD) under
reoptimization. We develop and analyze a finite-horizon Markov decision process (MDP) …

We describe an ambulance service in terms of its main operation parameters and strategic
decision variables. Assisted by queuing theory, we calculate the key performance indicators …

We consider the vehicle routing problem with stochastic demands (VRPSD), a problem in
which customer demands are known in distribution at the route planning stage and revealed …

We consider the vehicle routing problem with stochastic demands (VRPSD), a stochastic
variant of the well-known VRP in which demands are only revealed upon arrival of the …

La teoría de colas estudia el comportamiento de los sistemas de atención sujetos a
diferentes condiciones de funcionamiento, en que los clientes a veces deben esperar por el …

Faced with simultaneous demand and charter cost uncertainty, an industrial shipping
company must determine a suitable fleet size, mix, and deployment strategy to satisfy …

Research summary: Based on a detailed database of a beverages producer‐distributor that
expanded its product variety by leveraging its logistic network, we show that product …

This paper tackles a railcar fleet sizing optimization problem in the chemical industry. In
some sectors of the chemical industry, railcars are used not only as a means of …

Vehicle‐to‐grid presents a mechanism to meet the key requirements of an electric power
system, using electric vehicles (EVs) when they are parked. The most economic ancillary …

The work of an electricity distribution company is impossible without the extensive use of
different types of vehicles (including conventional and electric vehicles) for various …
