Dear colleagues,
We cordially invite you to contribute to the special issue Artificial Intelligence for Automation in Freight Transport in the Journal of International Transactions in Operational Research (ITOR). The peer-reviewed journal has a long and successful history of publishing relevant works in the interplay of operations research and logistics.
The main goal of this special issue is to bring and comprehensively collect cutting-edge research and recent advances in AI and optimization to promote and foster automation in freight transport. This issue will provide readers with high-quality contributions exploring and dealing with optimization problems in the field of transportation while discussing advanced approaches for automating operations. Examples involve the joint use of machine learning and mathematical programming to automate physical processes (robots, drones, automated vehicles), integrating information systems with optimization algorithms to automate decision-making, and developing truly-brained systems to support logistics decisions. This special issue will contribute to the literature with relevant theoretical and practical works advancing the progress of operations research and artificial intelligence towards automation in all types of freight transportation areas.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Advances in Optimization Models promoting automation
- Combination of methods from Artificial intelligence and Operations Research to foster
automated planning
- Automation of physical processes (robots, drones, automated vehicles)
- Modern vehicle and multi-modal transportation optimization problems
- Theoretical and/or empirical analysis of automation in transportation through
optimization
- Urban and freight logistics
- Knowledge-based systems and hybrids
- Heuristics, Metaheuristics, and Hyperheuristics-based embedded systems
- Data-driven and integrative approaches for efficient freight transport
- Intelligent techniques for online and offline planning
- Computational intelligence in transport automation
