Background: This study addresses optimising fleet size in a system with a heterogeneous
truck fleet, aiming to minimise transportation costs in interfacility material transfer operations …

The dockless bike sharing system (DBSS) has been globally adopted as a sustainable
transportation system. Due to the robustness and tractability of the closed queuing network …

We develop new techniques involving group symmetries and complex analysis to obtain
exact solutions for the transition probabilities of the M/M/1/k queueing process. These …

Shared transportation is a new way of traveling generated by the rapid development of the
“Internet+” and the sharing economy. Due to the limited energy carried by shared e‐bikes …

The bike sharing systems are fast increasing as a public transport mode in urban short trips,
and have been developed in many major cities around the world. A major challenge in the …

Travel behavior and mode choice are closely related to how travel demand is addressed.
Those who choose to use a bike-share system rely on the availability of a bike when they …

The paper deals with the relevant problem: ensuring safety and sustainability of urban
transport systems. Authors have considered existing positive world-wide experience of both …

Material handling systems (MHSs) are an integral part of logistics functions in manufacturing
and service organizations. Material handling equipment (MHE) is considered the pivotal …

Fundamental stochastic models for studying the dynamics of bike sharing systems can be
found within the transient behavior of the M/M/1/k queue and related stopped processes. We …

This paper discusses a large-scale dockless bike-sharing system (DBSS) with unusable
bikes, which can be removed, repaired, redistributed and reused under two batch policies …
