As competition intensifies, an increasing number of companies opt to outsource their package distribution operations to professional Third-Party Logistics (3PL) fleets. In response to the growing concern over urban pollution, 3PL fleets have begun to deploy Electric Vehicles (EVs) to perform transportation tasks. This paper aims to address the Time-Dependent Open Electric Vehicle Routing Problem with Hybrid Energy Replenishment Strategies (TDOEVRP-HERS) in the context of urban distribution.

Flood susceptibility mapping using novel ensembles of adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system and metaheuristic algorithms.

Flood is one of the most destructive natural disasters which cause great financial and life losses per year. Therefore, producing susceptibility maps for flood management are necessary in order to reduce its harmful effects. The aim of the present study is to map flood hazard over the Jahrom Township in Fars Province using a combination of adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference systems (ANFIS) with different metaheuristics algorithms such as ant colony optimization (ACO), genetic algorithm (GA), and particle swarm optimization (PSO) and comparing their accuracy.

Modeling shortest path selection of the ant Linepithema humile using psychophysical theory and realistic parameter values.

The emergence of self-organizing behavior in ants has been modeled in various theoretical approaches in the past decades. One model explains experimental observations in which Argentine ants (Linepithema humile) selected the shorter of two alternative paths from their nest to a food source (shortest path experiments). This model serves as an important example for the emergence of collective behavior and self-organization in biological systems.
