IRP-ROI-TML International Research Project (IRP-ROI-TML) "Operations Research and Informatics in Transport, Mobility and Logistics

An International Research Project (IRP-ROI-TML) was approved in January 2021 for a duration of five years, between the LAMIH UMR 8201 and the CIRRELT (Interuniversity Research Center for Enterprise Networks, Logistics and Transportation, Canada) on the theme : "Operational Research and Informatics in Transport, Mobility and Logistics". Based on a collaboration of more than 20 years between the CIRRELT and the LAMIH UMR CNRS 8201, the IRP ROI-TML follows the " Laboratoire International Associé Recherche Opérationnelle et Informatique en Transport, Mobilité et Logistique " (LIA ROI-TML) between the CIRRELT and the LAMIH UMR CNRS 8201.

The main research themes of the IRP ROI-TML fall into three main axes :

1. Models and hybrid approaches in operations research;
2. Optimization, performance and resilience of transportation and enterprise networks;
3. Smart Cities & Smart Vehicles.

Among the objectives of the IRP ROI-TML, we can cite in connection with these three axes:

• the design and dissemination to the scientific community and to industrialists of new resolution methods dedicated to optimization problems in transport, mobility and logistics while taking into account managerial, environmental, legislative aspects but also the security of computer communications ;
• the optimization, performance and resilience of transport and business networks ;
• the development of models, methods and tools for the design of a secure data exchange and processing platform for the development of smart/autonomous cities and vehicles.

This research is part of issues with a strong societal impact, concerning in particular :

• the reduction of congestion and environmental impacts of transport activities (in terms of energy consumption, pollution) ;
• the consideration of people with reduced mobility or disabilities (to improve mobility and quality of life of citizens) ;
• increasing the safety of logistics and transport networks, their operators and their users ;
• better exploitation/utilization/preservation of resources, exploitation of residual capacities...
