We consider a two-stage planning problem where a fleet of snowplow trucks is divided
among a set of independent regions, each of which then designs routes for efficient snow …

In the annual winter route maintenance, transportation agencies often deploy multiple fleets
of trucks for snow control and removal activities over a vast maintenance area which creates …

We propose a constraint programming (CP)–based branch-and-price-and-cut framework to
exactly solve bipath multicommodity flow (MCF): an MCF problem with two paths for each …

This paper describes efforts to improve snowplowing routes in 12 regions in northern Utah.
Both exact and approximate methods are applied to determine snowplowing routes that …

Snow and ice route removal activities play an essential role in travelers' safety and
roadways' reliability. They often require the deployment of a large number of snowplow …

Snow removal is an unavoidable problem in Nordic countries like Sweden. A number of
streets in a city need to be cleared of snow by a limited number of vehicles. The problem can …

Interchanges and intersections are the most complex part of a roadway network and are very
challenging for snow plowing operators. The objective of the study is to test if the empirical …

The winter road maintenance arc-routing is recognized as a notoriously hard problem not
only from the algorithmic point of view. This paper lays down foundations of theoretical …

Driven by global efforts to curb greenhouse gas emissions, there has been significant
investment in electric vehicle (EV) technology in recent years, resulting in a substantial …

Winter operations, such as snowplowing and salt spreading, have far-reaching implications
for businesses, road safety, and mobility. This paper investigates the effect of deploying …
