 【Abstract】Nowadays, municipalities become interested in developing instruments and policies to ensure efficient and effective mobility for passengers and freight. Since urban space is scarce, passenger and freight transportation flows overlap to a significant extent. Hence, the accessibility level decreases for both, passengers and freight, resulting in congestion and longer travel times. Furthermore, these lead to a number of negative side effects, such as noise, local air pollution, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. One way to tackle this trend is to adopt alternative ways to manage transportation networks to ensure smooth transportation flows. This presentation discusses integrated freight and public transportation solutions to perform pickup and delivery services in short-haul freight transportation environments, from an operational and tactical planning perspective. More specifically, we investigate an extension of the classical pickup and delivery problem, where requests may be transferred to available public transportation lines (also referred to as scheduled lines (SLs)). Given a fleet, each vehicle performs at most one tour per working day, transporting the freight requests from their origins to the corresponding destinations and public transportation can be used as a part of the freight’s journey, as long as the customer requirements are satisfied.
 
【Brief bio】Tom Van Woensel is Full Professor of Freight Transport and Logistics in the OPAC group (Operations, Planning, Accounting and Control) of the department of Industrial Engineering and Innovation Sciences at the Technische Universiteit Eindhoven in the Netherlands. He heads the Smart Logistics Lab, a joint effort of around 15 people doing research in transport and logistics. Since the beginning of 2015, he is appointed as the Program Director of the 4TU.SAI Professional Doctorate in Engineering (PDEng) program in Industrial Engineering. Prof. Van Woensel also serves as Academic Director of the Global Supply Chain Management program at the Antwerp Management School, Belgium. As a collaborating member, he is also connected to the CIRRELT (Centre interuniversitaire de recherche sur les réseaux d’entreprise, la logistique et le transport) in Montreal, Canada. His research is mainly focused on Freight Transport and Logistics. He published around 75 papers in leading academic journals (including Management Science, Transportation Science, Transportation Research Part B, Production and Operations Management, Interfaces, Computers and Operations Research, Transportation Research Part D, European Journal of Operational Research, etc.) and several chapters in international books. More information on all publications can also be found on Google Scholar (current h-index is 31). As the lead scientist from the TU/e, he was involved in securing several grants coming from the EU, Dinalog, Transumo, NWO, and several companies (Eyefreight, Binnenstadservice, Connexxion, Lekkerland, FloraHolland, P&G, etc.). Van Woensel is also associate editor for Transportation Science, OR Spectrum, Urban Science and Logistics Research.
