Energy-Efficient Drone Logistics for Last-Mile Delivery: Implications of Payload-Dependent Routing Strategies
Ziyue Li, Qianwen, Guo +1
Drone delivery is rapidly emerging as a cost-effective and energy efficient alternative for last-mile delivery. Unlike ground vehicles, a drone's energy consumption depends on its…
Equity-aware Design and Timing of Fare-free Transit Zoning under Demand Uncertainty
Qianwen Guo, Jiaqing Lu, Joseph Y. J. Chow +1
We propose the first analytical stochastic model for optimizing the configuration and implementation policies of fare-free transit. The model focuses on a transportation corridor w…
Optimized dynamic scheduling of an exclusive bus lane or high occupancy vehicle lane in a bimodal traffic corridor
Jiaqing Lu, Dian Sheng, Qianwen Guo +1
Efficient management of traffic corridors is critical for sustaining urban mobility. Exclusive bus lane (EBL) and high occupancy vehicle lane (HOVL) are two prominent strategies fo…
Dynamic Switching Models for Truck-only Delivery and Drone-assisted Truck Delivery under Demand Uncertainty
Jiaqing Lu, Qianwen Guo, Dian Sheng +2
Integrating drones into truck delivery systems can improve customer accessibility, reduce operational costs, and increase delivery efficiency. However, drone deployment incurs cost…
