On the use of reservation-based autonomous vehicles for demand management

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Raphael Ali Francis Lamotte

Automated mobility on demand is foreseen as the future of urban passenger mobility. While mixed-traffic for autonomous and conventional vehicles could be considered, separation amplifies the benefits of automation. Combined with mobility as a service, sepa ...

A Distributed Algorithm for Partitioned Robust Submodular Maximization

Volkan Cevher, Jonathan Mark Scarlett, Ilija Bogunovic, Slobodan Mitrovic

Abstract—In this paper, we consider the problem of maximizing a monotone submodular function subject to a cardinality constraint, with two added twists: The computation is distributed across a number of machines, and we require the solution to be robust ag ...

Train Timetable Design Under Elastic Passenger Demand

Michel Bierlaire, Matthieu Marie Cochon de Lapparent, Shadi Sharif Azadeh, Mohammad Yousef Maknoon, Tomas Robenek

We integrate a probabilistic demand model in the train timetabling problem. We use a logit model that we calibrate to reflect the known demand elasticities. We further include a competing operator as an opt-out option for the passengers. Subsequently, we i ...
