A discrete-event simheuristic for enhancing urban mobility

open access: yesSimulation Modelling Practice and Theory
This paper addresses a rich variant of the team orienteering problem under uncertainty to improve urban mobility. Specifically, we conduct a case study using real-world data from urban transportation hubs in Barcelona, gathered from Open Data Barcelona.

Why simheuristics?

open access: yes, 2020
Many decision-making processes in our society involve NP-hard optimization problems. The largescale, dynamism, and uncertainty of these problems constrain the potential use of stand-alone optimization methods. The same applies for isolated simulation models, which do not have the potential to find optimal solutions in a combinatorial environment.

Stochastic Runway Scheduling using Simheuristics

open access: yes, 2023
Runway scheduling (also known as “aircraft sequencing”) problems involve micromanaging the sequences of landings and take-offs at an airport in order to reduce costly flight delays.

Optimizing transportation systems and logistics network configurations: from biased-randomized algorithms to fuzzy simheuristics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Transportation and logistics (T&L) are currently highly relevant functions in any competitive industry. Locating facilities or distributing goods to hundreds or thousands of customers are activities with a high degree of complexity, regardless of whether

A Forward–Backward Simheuristic for the Stochastic Capacitated Dispersion Problem

open access: yesMathematics
In an effort to balance the distribution of services across a given territory, dispersion and diversity models typically aim to maximize the minimum distance between any pair of facilities. Specifically, in the capacitated dispersion problem (CDP), each facility has an associated capacity or level of service, and the objective is to select a set of ...

A multi-start simheuristic for the stochastic two-dimensional vehicle routing problem [PDF]

open access: yes2016 Winter Simulation Conference (WSC), 2016
The two-dimensional vehicle routing problem (2L-VRP) is a realistic extension of the classical vehicle routing problem where customers’ demands are composed by sets of non-stackable items. Examples of such problems can be found in many real-life applications, e.g. furniture or industrial machinery transportation.

Applications of biased randomised algorithms and simheuristics to asset and liability management [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Asset and Liability Management (ALM) has captured the attention of academics and financial researchers over the last few decades. On the one hand, we need to try to maximise our wealth by taking advantage of the financial market and, on the other hand ...

An inventory-routing problem with stochastic demand and stock-out: a solution and risk analysis using Simheuristics

open access: yes, 2019
Supply chain operations have become more complex. Hence, in order to optimise supply chain operations, we often need to simplify the optimisation problem in such a way that it can be solved efficiently using either exact methods or metaheuristics.

Why simheuristics? Benefits, limitations, and best practices when combining metaheuristics with simulation

open access: yes, 2017
From smart cities to factories and business, many decision-making processes in our society involve NP-hard optimization problems. In a real environment, these problems are frequently large-scale, which limits the potential of exact optimization methods ...
