In this work, we set out to overcome this limitation by introducing platooning as a transfer mode in heterogeneous vehicle networks. We propose a collaborative transportation framework where different transportation companies use a shared platform for delivery tasks. To support decarbonization efforts in port hinterland transport, we consider fleets comprising electric AGVs (E-AGVs) and conventional trucks. These E-AGVs need to visit charging stations, modeled as battery swap stations (BSS), and join platoons to travel within the linking road segment. Each carrier has contracts with certain BSSs and shares these stations through the platform as part of the transportation plan. The platform functions as a demand and resource pooling mechanism, further offering platooning and infrastructure-sharing services. We model the interaction between the platform and carriers as a two-level constrained Stackelberg competition. An efficient solution algorithm, incorporating problem-specific heuristics and an adaptive large neighborhood search with dedicated destroy, repair, and intensification operators, is proposed. Extensive numerical experiments demonstrate the algorithm's performance on both existing and new benchmark instances. Our results highlight the platform's potential to streamline port-hinterland logistics, with E-AGV platoons significantly reducing costs and emissions.","PeriodicalId":49176,"journal":{"name":"International Transactions in Operational Research","volume":"34 1","pages":"460-500"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2026-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/itor.70073","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148699844","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the initial phase of this cycle, it is crucial to identify an adequate delineation of site-specific management zones to optimize inputs and enhance crop yields. Based on a soil property that can be chemical, physical, or biological, the delineation of a site-specific management zone problem involves minimizing the number of zones that reach a homogeneity level according to the selected soil property. Moreover, the solution discussed in this work addresses orthogonal shapes, making delineation tasks easier for farmers with access to modern technology or traditional agricultural machinery. In this work, we propose a novel approach, not previously presented in the literature, for the site-specific management zone problem, based on dependency trees that account for the various interactions between variables. Additionally, to minimize the number of zones, we incorporated into the objective the minimization of the variances within each zone. The proposed new approach was evaluated using two different objective functions: one aimed at minimizing the number of zones, and the other focused on minimizing both the number of zones and the sum of the variances within those zones. The computational results show a 100% improvement in the total number of generated zones for small and medium instances compared with the leading methods in the literature that incorporate orthogonal site-specific management zones. This improvement was statistically validated using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test and confirmed through effect size analysis.","PeriodicalId":49176,"journal":{"name":"International Transactions in Operational Research","volume":"34 1","pages":"162-184"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2026-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148699855","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The possibility of collecting data and information obtained from the deployment of a WSN that allows the evaluation of different actions and their impact on the production will change the productivity of agricultural and livestock raising activities, particularly in developing countries. In order to collect and process data in real time, properly running the underlying challenged network is critical, especially when the nodes operate on batteries, and their energy demand should be minimized so their active life is maximized. In this case, nodes may operate intermittently in order to extend their lifespan, so the graph representing the network changes over time. In this work, we address the problem of routing messages in intermittent networks arising from such applications. We propose an integer programming formulation for this problem and develop a heuristic based on the minimum-cost flow problem in networks. We evaluate their computational performances, and we apply the heuristic procedure to a case study coming from the application of WSN in a forced-drip irrigation lot. Based on our computational experiments, we argue that the use of this heuristic approach provides a simple and effective mechanism to assess different network configurations with agility.","PeriodicalId":49176,"journal":{"name":"International Transactions in Operational Research","volume":"34 1","pages":"73-95"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2026-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148700001","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, we examine the moderating role of blockchain technology on the performance of two alternative government subsidy schemes (per-unit and lump-sum) within a green food supply chain. The results indicate that government subsidies significantly stimulate green innovation among the green food producer and generate downstream benefits. The size of the subsidy coefficient has a dual effect: It simultaneously shapes stakeholders’ preferences between subsidy schemes and acts as a key determinant of blockchain adoption decisions. Under the per-unit subsidy, the extra revenue that a producer can obtain by misreporting green food output unintentionally becomes an implicit source of funding for quality investment, whereas the adoption of blockchain raises the likelihood that the lump-sum subsidy will outperform the per-unit subsidy. Furthermore, for the per-unit subsidy, the e-commerce platform as a retailer is more cost-sensitive toward blockchain application compared to the producer. Lower blockchain implementation cost can improve food greenness and freshness while achieving a Pareto improvement in overall supply chain environmental performance and social welfare. However, when the green Research and Development (R&D) costs are excessively high, blockchain adoption can actually reduce both the environmental sustainability and market demand. These findings offer policymakers valuable insights into how to leverage the synergy between technological empowerment and institutional innovation.","PeriodicalId":49176,"journal":{"name":"International Transactions in Operational Research","volume":"34 1","pages":"7-41"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2026-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148700054","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, due to information asymmetry among stakeholders, producers often tend to pursue opportunistic gains by “free-riding,” such as producing low-quality agricultural products, which severely damages the reputation of GIAP. By improving information provision, digital technologies offer a means to eliminate this information asymmetry, facilitate stakeholders' sharing of GIAP production and quality information, and ultimately make GIAP governance possible. Based on this, the paper first discusses the digital information sharing mechanisms of GIAP under different collaboration models. Next, we develop a differential game model based on information sharing. Finally, we compare the differences in information sharing efforts and benefits among various stakeholders. Results show that (i) under the context of digital technology, GIAP's information-sharing behaviors can be categorized into three modes: decentralized, subsidy, and centralized; (ii) as the cooperation model progresses, the information-sharing efforts of the government, industry associations, and enterprises increase to varying degrees within a specific range of coefficients; (iii) in the enhancement pathways for information sharing among the three parties, there exists a Pareto improvement path that yields benefits; and (iv) the “consortium” model under centralized decision-making can achieve dual maximization of information sharing efforts and benefits for all parties involved through the Pareto improvement path.","PeriodicalId":49176,"journal":{"name":"International Transactions in Operational Research","volume":"34 1","pages":"42-72"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2026-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148700101","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Approaches to modeling static stability, which range from base support and mechanical equilibrium calculations to physical simulation, differ in workflow, focus, and assumptions, so choosing the right static stability approach has a substantial impact on the quality of the solution and, ultimately, on loading security. To date, little research has investigated the structural differences between approaches. The aim of this paper is to integrate knowledge and shed light on the applicability of the different approaches for the practical scenario of air cargo palletizing. We tackle this problem through (1) a reformulation and extension of static stability toward loading stability, (2) a conceptual analysis of current approaches, and (3) benchmarking that employs an independent multibody simulation on multiple heterogeneous datasets. Our results show that all approaches are prone to structure errors and vary significantly in their premises and information usage. Further, full base support is revealed to be the most restrictive approach by far, while physical simulation achieves the greatest accuracy. Given the trade-off between accuracy and runtime, the mechanical equilibrium approach is a good choice, while partial base support performs best for lower support values.","PeriodicalId":49176,"journal":{"name":"International Transactions in Operational Research","volume":"34 1","pages":"501-527"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2026-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/itor.70059","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148699849","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
