International Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 33, Issue 3, Page 1971-2015, May 2026.Abstract In most blood supply chains, blood centers and hospitals make individual decisions, resulting in an inefficient structure of the blood supply chain, which in turn renders supply and demand matching a challenging exercise. In this work, we make the very first attempt to optimize the interaction between blood centers and hospitals.

A Heavy‐Duty Vehicle Routing Problem With Temperature Constraints
Networks, 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 ...
