The impact of public drop‐off boxes and autonomous delivery robots in last‐mile delivery

International Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 33, Issue 6, Page 3825-3854, November 2026.
Abstract The growing concern over emissions from last‐mile logistics is motivating the development of innovative delivery models aimed at reducing environmental impact and traffic congestion. To this end, we propose a last‐mile delivery scheme based on both public drop‐off boxes and autonomous delivery robots.

Design of a Three‐Phase PWM Rectifier Based on Improved Whale Optimization Algorithm Optimized Fuzzy Control

Advanced Control for Applications, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2026.
Schematic diagram of the whale optimization algorithm (WOA)–optimized fuzzy proportional–integral–derivative (PID) controller. The WOA is employed to dynamically tune the scaling factor expressions and fuzzy control parameters (a(e)a(e), a(ec)a(ec), βpβp, βiβi), as well as the initial PID gains (kp0kp0, ki0ki0), based on the error (ee) and its ...

Production routing decisions in a two‐echelon supply chain with multiple delivery modes

International Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 33, Issue 5, Page 3385-3421, September 2026.
Abstract We study an original two‐echelon production routing problem with multiple delivery modes (2E‐PRP‐MDM). In the first echelon, the primary production facility is tasked with satisfying the demands of two distinct entities: a set of warehouses and a set of customers through direct shipments. In the second echelon, warehouses become delivery hubs,

SMAA‐Based FITradeoff: An Efficient Framework for Pairwise Elicitation in Multicriteria Decision Analysis

Journal of Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis, Volume 33, Issue 2, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The Flexible and Interactive Tradeoff Elicitation (FITradeoff) method is a Multi‐Attribute Decision‐Making (MADM) approach designed to capture the preferences of a Decision Maker (DM) while minimising cognitive effort. To reduce the frequency of interactions and optimise the preference elicitation process, this paper introduces an innovative ...

Shaping Decision Models for Stochastic Dynamic Optimization Problems via Reinforcement Learning

Networks, Volume 88, Issue 1, Page 138-157, July 2026.
ABSTRACT With rising customer expectations and increasing computational potential, many transport, manufacturing, and production operations face real‐time decision making in stochastic dynamic environments. Decision makers must find and adapt complex plans that are effective now but also flexible with respect to future developments.

An optimization model for the energy management of the network of tanks in a drinking water distribution system

International Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 2709-2730, July 2026.
Abstract “L'eau c'est la vie” is a well‐known French expression for “water is life,” which reflects the fact that water is undoubtedly the most vital resource in the world. The main mission for water utility companies is to convey and distribute water that is of acceptable quality to satisfy the demand of the population at any time of the day.

Setup‐Optimized Sequencing in Job Shops: Modeling Workstation Productivity and Lateness Behavior

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 12, 17 June 2026.
Setup‐optimized sequencing in job‐shop production creates a trade‐off between productivity improvement and schedule reliability. A WIP‐explicit modeling framework links sequencing‐induced productivity gains and lateness dispersion through the production operating curve.
