Science in pictures To the point: 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.

Transportation Research Part E: Logistics and Transportation Review, vol. 105, pp. 261-278, September 2017.    Impact and relevance of transit disturbances on planning in intermodal container networks "In North-West Europe, the options for intermodal inland transportation of containers are increasing. Inland corridors become increasingly interconnected in hinterland networks. To minimize operating costs, new methods are required that allow integral network operations management. The network operations consist of allocating containers to available inland transportation services, i.e. planning. Fo..." [More...] Impact and relevance of transit disturbances on planning in intermodal container networks. B. van Riessen, R.R. Negenborn, G. Lodewijks, R. Dekker. Maritime Economics & Logistics, vol. 17, pp. 440-463, December 2015.    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.

This article proposes waterborne AGVs, inspired by conventional AGVs and Autonomous Surface Vessels, for transport over water. A predictive path following with arrival time awareness controller is proposed for such waterborne AGVs. The controller is able to achieve smooth tracking and energy efficiency w..." [More...] Predictive path following with arrival time awareness for waterborne AGVs. H. Zheng, R.R. Negenborn, G.

Synchromodal transportation, as an extension of intermodal transportation, refers to transport systems with dynamic updating of plans by incorporating real-time information. The trend towards spot markets and digitalization in h..." [More...] A dynamic shipment matching problem in hinterland synchromodal transportation. W. Guo, B. Atasoy, W.W.A.
