A particle swarm optimization approach for predicting the number of COVID-19 deaths
( Nature Research , 2021 , Article)The rapid spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has raised huge concerns about the prospect of a major health disaster that would result in a huge number of deaths. This anxiety was largely fueled by the fact that the severe ... -
A blockchain-based framework to optimize shipping container flows in the hinterland
(2023 , Article)We address two interrelated issues affecting the hinterland portion of the maritime container supply chain: reducing the movement of empty containers and reducing empty trips by trucks carrying these containers. In this ... -
EXACT AND HEURISTIC APPROACHES FOR MAXIMIZING FLOWS IN UAV-ENABLED WIRELESS CELLULAR NETWORKS WITH MULTI-HOP BACKHAULS
( EDP Sciences , 2024 , Article)This paper investigates the problem of data routing in backhaul networks using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to relay data from Small Cells (SCs) to the core network. The objective is to maximize the total fulfilled ... -
Lower and upper bounding procedures for the bin packing problem with concave loading cost
( Elsevier , 2024 , Article)We address the one-dimensional bin packing problem with concave loading cost (BPPC), which commonly arises in less-than-truckload shipping services. Our contribution is twofold. First, we propose three lower bounds for ... -
A Mixed-Integer Programming Model for the Container Truck Routing Problem with Net Worth Maximization
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2023 , Conference)We address the container truck routing problem that arises in hinterland logistics, where trucking companies are responsible for transporting empty and loaded containers between various stakeholders in the shipping container ... -
A novel proof of useful work for a blockchain storing transportation transactions
( Elsevier , 2021 , Article)Proof-of-Work (PoW) is a common mechanism used to validate peer-to-peer transactions and maintain highly secured immutability of the blockchain. However, this mechanism has been criticized due to its inefficient use of ...
