The load-dependent vehicle routing problem and its pick-up and delivery extension

The present paper examines a Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) of major practical importance which is referred to as the Load-Dependent VRP (LDVRP). LDVRP is applicable for transportation activities where the weight of the transported cargo accounts for a significant part of the vehicle gross weight. Contrary to the basic VRP which calls for the minimization of the distance travelled, the LDVRP objective is aimed at minimizing the total product of the distance travelled and the gross weight carried along this distance. Thus, it is capable of producing sensible routing plans which take into account the variation of the cargo weight along the vehicle trips. The LDVRP objective is closely related to the total energy requirements of the vehicle fleet, making it a credible alternative when the environmental aspects of transportation activities are examined and optimized. A novel LDVRP extension which considers simultaneous pick-up and delivery service is introduced, formulated and solved for the first time. To deal with large-scale instances of the examined problems, we propose a local-search algorithm. Towards an efficient implementation, the local-search algorithm employs a computational scheme which calculates the complex weighted-distance objective changes in constant time. Solution results are presented for both problems on a variety of well-known test cases demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed solution approach. The structure of the obtained LDVRP and VRP solutions is compared in pursuit of interesting conclusions on the relative suitability of the two routing models, when the decision maker must deal with the weighted distance objective. In addition, results of a branch-and-cut procedure for small-scale instances of the LDVRP with simultaneous pick-ups and deliveries are reported. Finally, extensive computational experiments have been performed to explore the managerial implications of three key problem characteristics, namely the deviation of customer demands, the cargo to tare weight ratio, as well as the size of the available vehicle fleet.

A capacity maximization scheme for intersection management with automated vehicles

With the advent of connected and automated vehicle technology, in this paper, we propose an innovative intersection operation scheme named as MCross: Maximum Capacity inteRsection Operation Scheme with Signals. This new scheme maximizes intersection capacity by utilizing all lanes of a road simultaneously. Lane assignment and green durations are dynamically optimized by solving a multi-objective mixed-integer non-linear programming problem. The demand conditions under which full capacity can be achieved in MCross are derived analytically. Numerical examples show that MCross can almost double the intersection capacity (increase by as high as 99.51% in comparison to that in conventional signal operation scheme).

为了探究潮位变化与越江盾构隧道的沉降和收敛变形之间的关联性,采用数据统计分析、相关性分析和周期性分析方法,对上海某越江盾构隧道的监测数据与同时期隧道上部的潮位变化进行研究分析。研究表明:1)江中段隧道在潮位变化的作用下产生均匀沉降,其波动性与潮位起伏具有近似的周期性;2)陆域段隧道沉降变化的波动性程度与河流的距离有关;3)潮位变化引起隧道管片断面的横径和竖径产生循环的收敛变形,其横径收敛变形大于竖径收敛变形。以上研究可为越江盾构隧道设计、施工和运维提供参考。     

路基工程质量问题的成因及处治措施

路基是公路的重要组成部分,是按照路线位置和一定技术要求修筑的带状构造物,承受由路面传来的荷载,应具有足够的强度、稳定性和耐久性。路基的强度与稳定性,受水、温度、土质等客观因素影响,同时也受行车荷载的作用,路基设计、施工方法及养护方法是否正确也制约着路基的质量。
