An ant system algorithm for automated trajectory planning

open access: yes, 2010
The paper presents an Ant System based algorithm to optimally plan multi-gravity assist trajectories. The algorithm is designed to solve planning problems in which there is a strong dependency of one decision one all the previously made decisions. In the

A Comparative Study on the Use of Classification Algorithms in Financial Forecasting [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Financial forecasting is a vital area in computational finance, where several studies have taken place over the years. One way of viewing financial forecasting is as a classification problem, where the goal is to find a model that represents the ...

Collaborative platooning and routing for mixed fleets of electric automated vehicles and conventional trucks

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract The application of automated ground vehicles (AGVs) is well‐established in closed environments such as port terminals, while their operation in open areas remains challenging. In this work, we set out to overcome this limitation by introducing platooning as a transfer mode in heterogeneous vehicle networks.

Ant colony optimisation and local search for bin-packing and cutting stock problems

open access: yes, 2004
The Bin Packing Problem and the Cutting Stock Problem are two related classes of NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems. Exact solution methods can only be used for very small instances, so for real-world problems, we have to rely on heuristic ...

Park‐and‐multi‐loop with autonomous delivery robots in last‐mile logistics

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper deals with the park‐and‐multi‐loop routing problem, in the context of last‐mile logistics, in which a fleet of traditional vehicles equipped with several autonomous delivery robots leaves from a depot to service a set of customer requests.

A genetic algorithm simheuristic for solving the stochastic project portfolio selection problem with portfolio reliability constraints

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 33, Issue 6, Page 4039-4071, November 2026.
Abstract In response to the increasing complexity of modern products, dynamic markets, and intensified competition, project‐based organizations are actively seeking methodologies to efficiently manage their expanding project portfolios. This paper analyzes the project portfolio selection problem in uncertain environments. Despite recent advances in the

Improving the cAnt-MinerPB Classification Algorithm [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Ant Colony Optimisation (ACO) has been successfully applied to the classification task of data mining in the form of Ant-Miner. A new extension of Ant-Miner, called cAnt-MinerPB, uses the ACO procedure in a different fashion.

A formulation and a metaheuristic approach for the clustered vehicle routing problem with d‐relaxed priority rule

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 33, Issue 6, Page 3714-3743, November 2026.
Abstract This paper investigates an extension of the vehicle routing problem in which, in addition to minimizing the distance traveled, the sequencing of customer visits is subject to precedence constraints that impose visiting priorities among customers.

Consistent Collaborative Vehicle Utilization

open access: yesNetworks, Volume 88, Issue 1, Page 99-121, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Carriers are often reluctant to collaborate with other carriers in delivering goods to customers despite potential cost reductions. A durable collaboration requires attention to more aspects. Carriers typically wish to remain competitive, unconstrained by the collaboration, increasing profits by attracting new customers and withholding ...
