A novel approach to independent taxi scheduling problem based on stable matching (2013)
Journal Article
Bai, R., Li, J., Atkin, J. A., & Kendall, G. (2014). A novel approach to independent taxi scheduling problem based on stable matching. Journal of the Operational Research Society, 65(10), https://doi.org/10.1057/jors.2013.96

This paper describes a taxi scheduling system, which aims to improve the overall efficiency of the system, both from the perspective of the drivers and the customers. This is of particular relevance to Chinese cities, where hailing a taxi on the stre... Read More about A novel approach to independent taxi scheduling problem based on stable matching.

A more realistic approach for airport ground movement optimisation with stand holding (2013)
Journal Article
Ravizza, S., Atkin, J., & Burke, E. K. (2014). A more realistic approach for airport ground movement optimisation with stand holding. Journal of Scheduling, 17(5), https://doi.org/10.1007/s10951-013-0323-3

In addition to having to handle constantly increasing numbers of aircraft, modern airports also have to address a wide range of environmental regulations and requirements. As airports work closer and closer to their maximal possible capacity, the ope... Read More about A more realistic approach for airport ground movement optimisation with stand holding.

Tabu assisted guided local search approaches for freight service network design (2011)
Journal Article
Bai, R., Kendall, G., Qu, R., & Atkin, J. A. (2012). Tabu assisted guided local search approaches for freight service network design. Information Sciences, 189, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ins.2011.11.028

The service network design problem (SNDP) is a core problem in freight transportation. It involves the determination of the most cost-effective transportation network and the character- istics of the corresponding services, subject to various constra...
