    We study the continuous-time service network design problem (CTSNDP) under travel time uncertainty, aiming to design a transportation service network along a continuous-time planning horizon, with robust operational efficiency even in the presence of travel time deviations. Incorporating travel time uncertainty holds a great practical value. However, it poses a significant challenge in both problem … Read more

    This paper contemplates how branch-price-and-cut solvers can be employed along with the robust optimization paradigm to address parametric uncertainty in the context of vehicle routing problems. In this setting, given postulated uncertainty sets for customer demands and vehicle travel times, one aims to identify a set of cost-effective routes for vehicles to traverse, such that … Read more
