Science in pictures To the point: The value of information sharing for platform-based collaborative vehicle routing "Cooperation is important in order to find efficient vehicle routing solutions for the growing transportation market. Increasingly, platforms emerge as facilitators for this kind of collaborative transportation. However, individual actors connected to a platform might refuse to share (parts of) their information due to reasons of competition. Though the need for realistic information sharing models..." [More...] The value of information sharing for platform-based collaborative vehicle routing. J. Los, F. Schulte, M.T.J. Spaan, R.R. Negenborn. Transportation Research Part E: Logistics and Transportation Review, vol. 141, no. 102011, September 2020.    Closed-loop scheduling and control of waterborne AGVs for energy-efficient Inter Terminal Transport "We propose closed-loop energy-efficient scheduling and control of an autonomous Inter Terminal Transport (ITT) system using waterborne Autonomous Guided Vessels (waterborne AGVs). A novel pick-up and delivery problem considering safe intervals between berthing time slots of different waterborne AGVs is proposed. Waterborne AGVs are controlled in a cooperative distributed way to carry out assigned ..." [More...] Closed-loop scheduling and control of waterborne AGVs for energy-efficient Inter Terminal Transport.

This has resulted in adoption of new and more environmental friendly power sources and fuels for on-board power generation. One of these novel power sources is the Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) which has a great potential to act as a power source, thanks to its high efficiency and capability to handle a wide ..." [More...] Component sizing and energy management for SOFC-based ship power systems.

The couplings between these two systems are modeled by energy hubs, which serve as interface between the loads and the transmission infrastructures. Previously, we have applied a distributed control scheme to a static three-hub benchmark system. In this paper, we propose an extension of this distributed cont..." [More...] Multi-area predictive control for combined electricity and natural gas systems. M. Arnold, R.R. Negenborn, G.
