Abstract Component failures in integrated heating and cooling networks impact reliable energy supply. This work studies reliability of heating and cooling systems constrained either by the annualized capital cost (ACC) or by the annualized total cost (ATC).

Underground Freight Transportation for Package Delivery in Urban Environments
ABSTRACT The use of underground freight transportation (UFT) is gaining attention because of its ability to quickly move freight to locations in urban areas while reducing road traffic and the need for delivery drivers. Since packages are transported through the tunnels by electric motors, the use of tunnels is also environmentally friendly. We examine

The All-or-Nothing Multicommodity Flow Problem
We consider the all-or-nothing multicommodity flow problem in general graphs. We are given a capacitated undirected graph G=(V,E,u) and set of k pairs s1t1, s2t2, …, sktk. Each pair has a unit demand. The objective is to find a largest subset S of 1,2,…,k such that for every i in S we can send a flow of one unit between si and ti.

Since 2015, China’s railway freight volume has steadily increased; however, the transportation capacity of the existing road network cannot fully adapt to the pressure caused by the increase in freight volume. In addition, the limitations of the current traffic flow adjustment system pose a significant risk of potential capacity bottlenecks in the road

Drayage Routing Problems: A Comprehensive Survey and a New Compact Model
ABSTRACT Drayage involves short‐distance container trucking, a crucial part of intermodal transportation that fills the gap between long‐haul transportation modes and inland facilities. Because of its high costs, drayage has been increasingly drawing the attention of researchers and practitioners from different disciplines, who have been exploring ...

Integer multicommodity flows with reduced demands [PDF]
Given a supply graph G=(V, E), a demand graph H=(T, D), edge capacities c: E ↦ ℕ and requests r: D ↦ ℕ, we consider the problem of finding integer multiflows subject to c, r. Korach and Penn constructed approximate integer multiflows for planar graphs, but no results were known for the general case.

Incorporating Fairness Into the Gateway‐Based Risk Mitigation Policy for Hazmat Transport
ABSTRACT In hazardous material transport on road networks, two conflicting objectives must be addressed simultaneously: minimizing risk and minimizing cost. Risk mitigation policies may yield as a secondary outcome uneven flow distribution on the network. This study empowers an existing risk mitigation policy based on gateways (GBP) to improve fairness.
