Heuristic approaches for a new variant of the team orienteering problem

International Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 34, Issue 2, Page 975-1002, March 2027.
Abstract In this paper, we tackle the team orienteering problem (TOP) with service times, mandatory nodes and incompatibilities arising from two real‐world healthcare applications. We propose two heuristic algorithms: a variable neighbourhood descent algorithm and a matheuristic based on a cut separation approach.

Optimizing equity and efficiency in the aerial firefighting resource allocation problem

International Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 34, Issue 2, Page 1072-1096, March 2027.
Abstract This study addresses the aerial firefighting resource allocation problem, formulated as the strategic prepositioning of a heterogeneous aerial firefighting fleet across capacity‐constrained airbases. A novel bi‐objective model is proposed that simultaneously optimizes efficiency (aggregate risk‐weighted accessibility) and equity (minimized ...

Straddle carrier routing optimization at container terminals utilizing telemetry‐based prediction

International Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 34, Issue 1, Page 429-459, January 2027.
Abstract Efficient vehicle routing and scheduling for horizontal transport means on container terminals can reduce lead times and travel distances, resulting in fuel savings and productivity gains. We apply machine learning to emulate operational processes, bridging the gap between theoretical optimization models and real‐world practices at container ...
