TL;DR: An urban network of signalized intersections can be suitably modeled as a hybrid system, in which the vehicle flow behavior is described by means of a time-driven model and the traffic light dynamics are represented by a discrete event model.

TL;DR: A user-based methodology was proposed on the basis of an optimal relocation policy in a rolling horizon framework that offers greater flexibility to users and maximizes operator benefits by reducing the number of required staff to relocate vehicles among the stations and determines the minimum number of vehicles needed to satisfy system demand.

TL;DR: Dabbene et al. as mentioned in this paper presented an approach for the optimisation of fresh-food supply chains that manages a trade-off between logistic costs and some indices measuring the quality of the food itself as perceived by the consumer.

TL;DR: A class of hybrid Petri nets is shown to provide a valuable model of urban networks of signalised intersections that can be fruitfully considered to be hybrid systems, where the vehicle flow behaviour is represented by means of a time-driven model, and the traffic light dynamics are represented by an event-driven models.

TL;DR: The extensive analysis of results shows that the number of rejected reservations can be significantly reduced, even with a relatively small number of vehicles and, at the same time, the operator’s profit can be increased.
