Robust optimization for network-based resource allocation problems under uncertainty
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
We consider large-scale, network-based, resource allocation problems under uncertainty, with specific focus on the class of problems referred to as multi-commodity flow problems with time-windows. These problems are at the ...
A profit maximization model in a two-echelon supply chain management : distribution and pricing strategies
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
Distribution and pricing strategies play a central role in the field of supply chain management. Heuristic approaches to the vehicle routing problem (VRP) are usually used to design optimal delivery routes to serve ...
Marginal social cost auctions for congested airport facilities
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)
Harmonization of aviation user charges in the North Atlantic airspace
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
The purpose of this thesis is to explore various harmonization scenarios for North Atlantic en route user charges. The current charging system involves eight countries, each with their own method for computing user charges. ...
Real-time Multi-period truckload routing problems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
In this thesis we consider a multi-period truckload pick-up and delivery problem dealing with real-time requests over a finite time horizon. We introduce the notion of postponement of requests, whereby the company can ...
Estimating the true extent of air traffic delays
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
Most air traffic delay measures assess delays relative to schedule. Over the past decades, however, airline schedules have been adjusted to take into account airspace congestion and yield better on-time performance. In ...
Algorithms for routing problems in stochastic time-dependent networks
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)
A tool to support the planning of ground delay programs subject to uncertain arrival capacities
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
A prototype tool was developed to support the planning of ground delay programs (GDPs) under uncertainty. Planned hours in advance, GDPs are subject to significant arrival capacity uncertainty, which reduces their efficacy ...
