A multi-objective genetic algorithm for the passenger maritime transportation problem
2014
Over the last years, the transportation demand has continuously increased and a further growth is predicted for the next future especially as regards the maritime sector. As a consequence, shipping companies will be asked to improve the supplied services in order to assure a high quality and time-effective goods and passengers transportation, deriving at the same time their own benefits by minimizing costs. Therefore, the optimization of routes and schedules together with the fleet deployment take a meaningful role on companies profitability and efficiency. In such a perspective, the present paper proposes a multi-objective mathematical programming model to determine a set of routes and sch…
SURATRAM - Intelligent Transport System for freight management in urban areas
2022
The project developed in the framework of this thesis is part of a more global and ambitious research program that aims at proposing a new type of goods management system in urban centers. In order to do so, the project aims to approach the management of goods from a systemic point of view, by integrating the management into the field of Intelligent Goods Transport Systems (ITS). This systemic vision of the management of goods in urban areas requires the use of electric and autonomous vehicles to ensure the tasks of delivery and collection of goods. In addition, these vehicles will be able to use the existing public transport network of the cities to move from an urban distribution center (…
