WOW! @e_vro's @KullmanNick wins the 2021 @GT2L1 best doctoral dissertation award! Congratulations Nick! Do not miss the excellent presentations given by the 6 finalist here: uha.webex.com/webappng/sites…

We are happy to announce that there will be a special section of Transportation Science devoted to methodological innovations stemming from the Challenge. Guest editors will be @ClaudiaArchett1, @ed_uchoa, and @vidalthi.

It's still a work in progress, but we have a problem description and some instances posted for the electric vehicle routing problem: dimacs.rutgers.edu/programs/chall… #EVRP #DIMACSChallenge @je_mendozag @KullmanNick @vidalthi @ed_uchoa @ClaudiaArchett1 @MGC_Resende

We are too excited by the news. We copy-pasted the wrong link :). Here goes the right one: youtube.com/watch?v=MT9cjt…

Acompáñenos a tomar un café y hablar de logística urbana con vehículos eléctricos. @HECenergie @HECPolee3 @e_vro. linkedin.com/posts/latamobi…

@DIMACSChallenge @je_mendozag @ClaudiaArchett1 @vidalthi @ed_uchoa @MGC_Resende We love it!

Another VRP update: We plan to replace the stochastic demand VRP with a newer variant: routing for electric vehicles. Stay tuned for details. @je_mendozag @ClaudiaArchett1 @vidalthi @ed_uchoa @MGC_Resende

@e_vro’s @KullmanNick successfully defended his Ph.D. dissertation today. Congratulations for your great work and your countless contributions to electric vehicle routing Nick. Thanks to: @japu00 @CAnthropolis @PVanHentenryck @UnivTours @PolytechTours @CIRRELT @AgenceRecherche

Our collaborator and close friend Samuel Pelletier was awarded the best dissertation award by @HEC_Montreal. Congratulations Sam! One of Samuel’s dissertation papers was written in collaboration with @e_vro, check it out here: doi.org/10.1016/j.trc.…

@e_vro's @KullmanNick, @je_mendozag., J.C Goodson, and A. Froger just released an open source Python solver for the fixed-route vehicle recharging problem. You can download the library and code at: pypi.org/project/frvcpy/ and check out the write up at: hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-02496381.

We have published the preliminary schedule for the TSL Conference 2020. Registration is open. More details: connect.informs.org/tsl/conference…

e-VRO's @KullmanNick, @je_mendozag, and J. Goodson just released a tech. rep. presenting deep reinforcement learning-based approaches for dynamic ride hailing with electric vehicles. The first outcome of our collaboration with @IVADO_Qc! Available at: hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-02463422.

e-VRO’s PI @je_mendozag and student @kullmannick just released a draf of their work on atari-fying the Vehicle Routing Problem with Stochastic Service Requests: arxiv.org/abs/1911.05922

The first contributed dataset in 2019: 92 juicy instances for the pickup and delivery problem with time windows and electric vehicles, courtesy of our friend D. Goeke @RWTH. Check them out at: vrp-rep.org/datasets/item/…

Check out our new C&OR paper on improved formulations and algorithmic components for the E-VRP with nonlinear charging functions: doi.org/10.1016/j.cor.…. Yet another result of our excellent collaboration with @CIRRELT, @HEC_Montreal, and @polimi. @AgenceRecherche

Ç. Koç and O. Jabali and @HEC_Montreal's G. Laporte and @je_mendozag just published a paper on the the electric vehicle routing problem with shared charging stations. This is the result of our first joint project with @CIRRELT. Access the paper here: doi.org/10.1111/itor.1….

e-VRO's @KullmanNick, Justin C. Goodson, and @je_mendozag just released a working paper titled Dynamic Electric Vehicle Routing: Heuristics and Dual Bounds. You can access it here: hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-01928730.

We experienced some technical issues this week but we are back online now.
