About this event Libra is the European platform for the activation and exchange of electricity reserves. The platform is used to select reserve offers for activation on replacement reserve (RR) and manual frequency restoration reserve markets (mFRR). At the center of the platform, an optimization algorithm is used to optimize the set of bids to […]

This seminar presents ongoing work on a joint project to develop a multimodal schedule-based routing application. This application is motivated by the necessity of transport policymakers to evaluate the potential impact of public transport investments at the national and European levels. In the first part of the seminar, we illustrate accessibility metrics that permit to […]

Presented by Dr. Anne Liret, Research Manager (British Telecommunications) In the face of the climate emergency, several measures are being taken to move to more sustainable sources of energy. The transport sector has increasingly adopted Electric Vehicles (EVs) in order to cut down on greenhouse gas emissions. This has led to the necessity of accounting […]

Presented by Alex Fleischer, Optimization Expert (IBM) When trying to solve puzzles, practitioners train themselves on OR techniques (and other techniques). Puzzles are good ways for large and small companies to have OR practitioners from academia and consulting take a look at their specific issues (ROADEF / Euro challenges). Puzzles can support challenging students to […]

Traditional last-mile delivery planning purely based on optimization methods often lacks important real-life aspects and thus does not satisfy relevant operational requirements. Only experienced couriers have tacit knowledge about the delivery area and its customers, forcing them to deviate from planned routes. They know where to find good parking spots, when to best approach certain […]

Presented by Moulay Driss El Alaoui Faris, Energy Decision Scientist (Air Liquide) Embedding OR functionalities in operational tools to address a large class of problems requires designing the software architecture to provide the required modularity. In this talk we will present comparative design of component primitives (Nodes Arcs Boxes) in Python and Julia. A particular […]
