Abstract The accelerated electrification of transport systems with EVs has brought new challenges for charging scheduling, fleet management, and infrastructure location configuration planning. In this review, we have provided a systematic review the recent development in strategic, tactical, operational decisions demand responsive system planning using electric vehicles (EV-DRT). We summarized ...

The adoption of the principles of sustainable development (SD) is increasingly seen as an important way to align the strategic plan of organizations with the specific objectives and procedures used for project execution. However, more research is still needed to identify how SD contributes to align the strategic plan of clients of the building sector with their short-term needs of construction ...

Flexible and dynamic supply chain network design problem has been studied by many researchers during past years. Since integration of short-term and long-term decisions in strategic planning leads to more reliable plans, in this paper a multi-objective model for a sustainable closed-loop supply chain network design problem is proposed. The planning horizon of this model contains multiple strate...

Natural resource management is embedded within social-ecological environments and requires decisions to be taken within this broad context, including those that pertain to protected areas. This realization has led to South African National Parks adopting a strategic adaptive management approach to decision making. Through narrative, we show why and how this practice has progressively spread and...

Distributed IT projects exhibit certain features that make them fundamentally different from traditional co-located projects, not only involving additional steps and decisions, but also impacting the risk management process. The goal of this paper is to discuss these impacts and to suggest the development of an integrated risk management process taking into account site dispersion, time zone di...

The design and operations of inpatient care facilities are typically largely historically shaped. A better match with the changing environment is often possible, and even inevitable due to the pressure on hospital budgets. Effectively organizing inpatient care requires simultaneous consideration of several interrelated planning issues. Also, coordination with upstream departments like the opera...

The purpose of this paper is to formally describe new optimization models for distributed telecommunication networks. Modern distributed networks put more focus on the processing of information and less on the actual transportation of data, than we are traditionally used to in telecommunications. This paper introduces new models for decision support at operational, tactical and strategic levels...

The purpose of this paper is to formally describe new optimization models for telecommunication networks with distributed processing. Modern distributed networks put more focus on the processing of information and less on the actual transportation of data than we are traditionally used to in telecommunications. This paper introduces new approaches for modelling decision support at operational, ...

In this study, a Route-Based Turbulent-Weather Avoidance Model (TWAM-R) is presented. TWAM-R improves a previously reported trajectory-based model which was tactical in nature. TWAM-R considers more strategic turbulence-avoidance decisions that are based on turbulence forecasts and pilot reports (PIREPs). TWAM-R identifies areas of reduced capacity and areas of potential hazards due to congesti...
