Joint service capacity planning and dynamic container routing in shipping network with uncertain demands

Wireless Mesh Network Routing Under Uncertain Demands

Traffic routing plays a critical role in determining the performance of a wireless mesh network. Recent research results usually fall into two ends of the spectrum. On one end are the heuristic routing algorithms, which are highly adaptive to the dynamic environments of wireless networks yet lack the analytical properties of how well the network performs globally. On the other end are the optim...

The container shipping network design problem with empty container repositioning

This paper addresses the design of container liner shipping service networks by explicitly taking into account empty container repositioning. Two key and interrelated issues, those of deploying ships and containers are usually treated separately by most existing studies on shipping network design. In this paper, both issues are considered simultaneously. The problem is formulated as a two-stage...

Service Level Assignment and Container Routing for Liner Shipping Service Networks

In this work, a decision tool is developed for a liner shipping company to deploy its fleet considering vessel speeds and to find routes for cargos with transit time constraints simultaneously. This problem is referred as Service level Assignment and Container Routing Problem (SACRP) in the sequel. A Column Generation (CG) algorithm is implemented for the SACRP. Computational experiments are pe...

Flow - based Dynamic Routing In Uncertain Network

Acknowledgments This dissertation summarizes my work in the last few years at UT Austin. Without the help from many people this work would not have been possible. First of all, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my adviser, Dr. Gustavo de Veciana, who has guided my way over the years. He has shown me by example what it means to be a scholar, a teacher and a professional. I would al...
