Maritime transport and port operations are vital to global trade but face growing pressure to improve efficiency and lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Just-in-Time (JIT) arrival offers a promising management solution, involving speed adjustments so that vessels reach the pilot boarding point only when port services are confirmed. This approach aims to cut fuel and emissions by reducing...
Maritime trade has been continuously growing in the last decades, increasing the pressure on container terminals and intensifying needs for more effective management systems. Inefficiency arises on the land-side operations with the increasing number of truck arrivals for the collection and delivery of containers. The highly stochastic nature of truck arrivals leads to an unbalanced workload...
The rolling stock rotation planning problem with maintenance constraints can be stated in the following way: given a set of train trips each one with its own passenger demand find, from scratch, for a standard week, the most cost-effective rotations that assign a vehicle composition (hereafter composition) to each trip that covers all or part of the demand and that satisfy all operational...
