A Heavy‐Duty Vehicle Routing Problem With Temperature Constraints

open access: yesNetworks, Volume 87, Issue 2, Page 131-150, March 2026.
ABSTRACT This article studies a vehicle routing problem involving a fleet of heavy‐duty vehicles and pickup‐and‐delivery requests for crude items that are both heavy and high‐temperature. The objective is to route the fleet in such a way that maximizes resource efficiency and operational efficiency while simultaneously avoiding thermal overload of any ...

Seeing Through the “FOG” of U.S. Feedstock Incentives for Transportation Fuels

open access: yesGCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The demand for fats, oils, and greases (FOG) as biofuel feedstocks has increased in recent years. Further expansions will have uncertain, but potentially significant, effects on food prices, greenhouse gas emissions, and the U.S. farm economy. To address the market‐mediated effects of expanding FOG feedstock consumption, U.S.
