Vehicle Scheduling Based on a Line Plan.

open access: yes, 2018
We consider the following problem: given a set of lines in a public transportation network with their round trip times and frequencies, a maximum number of vehicles and a maximum number of lines that can be combined into a vehicle circulation, does there exist a set of vehicle circulations that covers all lines given the constraints.

On–Off Switchable Micromotors for Use in Steerable Microvehicles

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Electrically controllable micromotors and microvehicles are developed by tuning the diffusion of the fuel. Self‐propelled micromotors using bubble propulsion show great promise for miniaturized devices with multiuse purposes such as cargo delivery and sensing. However, there is currently no method to electrically switch the micromotors on or off. Here,

Online vehicle routing and scheduling with continuous vehicle tracking

open access: yes, 2014
This paper proposes an extension to an online vehicle routing problem, with dynamic travel time perturbations (due to accidents, traffic jam, etc.) and dynamic customer requests. We show that the tracking of vehicles using GPS devices allows the dispatch office to take better decisions more quickly. In particular, a vehicle can now be diverted from its
