A framework for window design in delivery schedules
Bharti Bharti, René Bekker, Nikki Levering +1
This paper develops a structured framework for the design and dynamic updating of service time windows in delivery and appointment-based systems. We consider a single-server settin…
Minimizing the externalities variance in a LCFS-PR queue under various constraints
Royi Jacobovic, Nikki Levering
Consider a LCFS-PR queue and assume that at time , there are customers who arrived in that order such that is the arrival time…
Input Rate Control in Stochastic Road Traffic Networks: Effective Bandwidths
Nikki Levering, Rudesindo Núñez-Queija
In road traffic networks, large traffic volumes may lead to extreme delays. These severe delays are caused by the fact that, whenever the maximum capacity of a road is approached,…
Optimal departure time advice in road networks with stochastic disruptions
Rens Kamphuis, Nikki Levering, Michel Mandjes
Due to recurrent (e.g. daily or weekly) patterns and non-recurrent disruptions (e.g. caused by incidents), travel times in road networks are time-dependent and inherently random. T…
Estimating Probability Distributions of Travel Times by Fitting a Markovian Velocity Model
Nikki Levering, Marko Boon, Michel Mandjes
To improve the routing decisions of individual drivers and the management policies designed by traffic operators, one needs reliable estimates of travel time distributions. Since c…
A Framework for Efficient Dynamic Routing under Stochastically Varying Conditions
Nikki Levering, Marko Boon, Michel Mandjes +1
Despite measures to reduce congestion, occurrences of both recurrent and non-recurrent congestion cause large delays in road networks with important economic implications. Educated…
