EPSRC DTP studentship in Combinatorial models for optimisation of placement of refuelling stations and routing for alternative fuel vehicles in road network

Funding is for 4 years. The project is supervised by Andrei Gagarin, Padraig Corcoran and Rhyd Lewis.

Closing date: 16 March 2020.

Shortlisted candidates will be invited to attend an interview in April.

Administrative enquiries:
PGR Office Mathematics: maths-pgr@cardiff.ac.uk

Project Description
The main objective of this PhD project is to develop new mathematical models and combinatorial optimisation techniques for smart and efficient development of road network infrastructure for navigation of vehicles using new types of energies, e.g. electric, biofuel, hydrogen, and to advise on efficient routing with respect to the existing infrastructure. This will be based on development of more subtle mathematical models using graphs and digraphs and done by algorithmically solving the corresponding combinatorial optimisation problems, obtaining related analytical and structural results. We will examine new models on weighted graphs and digraphs using different types of dominating set concepts, subsequently developing new methodologies to provide efficient and effective algorithmic solution techniques. Special attention will be paid to scaling of the models to large-size road networks.

The PhD student should have a solid background in Graph Theory and algorithms related to optimisation in graphs and digraphs, including algorithm engineering. Experience of implementing algorithms using low-level programming languages like C/C++ would be an asset. The PhD student will work across the disciplinary boundaries of graph theory, combinatorics, algorithms design, and optimisation in the context of geographic information systems and transport networks analysis. In doing so, they will develop advanced skills in mathematics and related areas of computer science. They will be an active member of the Operational Research group and Discrete Mathematics and Data Science interdisciplinary research team in the School of Mathematics. This will provide them with an opportunity to form collaborations, to draw from the expertise of both groups, and to participate in corresponding research seminar series and events.

The 4 year studentship includes UK/EU fees, stipend (amount for 2020/21 is £15285) and a research training grant to cover costs such as research consumables, training, conferences and travel.

14 Feb 2020 18-month postdoctoral position - Shuttle on demand

Toggle description

18-month postdoctoral position - Shuttle on demand Partners: IFSTTAR, SNCF
Location: IFSTTAR, Villeneuve-d'Ascq
Expected start: At the earliest
Salary: Between 32 000 and 35 000 Euro year gross salary
Context
The research is part of the SNCF work towards the development of new mobility services complementary to conventional rail transport. It takes as a starting point the Autonomous Shuttle project between Nantes and Carquefou (France). It also addresses certain aspects of more generic configurations.
Goal
Design and testing of an optimization algorithm for the real-time planning of a dedicated on-demand passenger transport service.
Problem definition
The problem is to plan the shuttle service operating on a dedicated line for passenger transport.
In rush hour, the shuttle service is planned in a periodic manner. This rush hour service defines the sizing of the fleet.
In off-peak hours, the service is on demand: the user connects to the system (through terminals or a smartphone application, for example) and requests a service specifying: the departure and arrival stops, the desired departure time and the number of passengers. This request can be made in real time or in advance. Based on a request to be satisfied, a forecast of available requests, the validated service plan and the current position of the shuttles, the algorithm decides which shuttle satisfies the demand of each user and in which order. If suitable, the shuttles can be organized in convoys. The main constraints to be taken into account are: the maximum travel time; the maximum waiting time; the charge level of shuttle batteries (if electric); the location and recharge time of shuttles (if electric); the constraints of the shift of the drivers or operators (if non autonomous shuttles).
The infrastructure is dedicated and has a simple structure. Several turning points may be available, as well as several garage areas. In the case of electric shuttles, the location of the charging stations is given. Different criteria are critical for evaluating the system performance. In particular, the waiting time of the user, the travel time, and the shuttle utilization. The algorithm considers either one of these criteria or a weighed sum of two or three.
In addition to real-time service planning, the algorithm can be used offline to perform scenario analysis, for example to evaluate the performance of an autonomous shuttle system versus driver-operated shuttles.

PhD-Position in Mathematical Optimization, SFB/CRC 1410 "Hybrid
Societies", TU Chemnitz

Starting: March 1, 2020
Duration: 46 month (until Dezember 31,2023
Salary level: TV-L 13, 75%
Application closing date: January 12, 2020
Official Announcement:https://www.tu-chemnitz.de/verwaltung/personal/stellen/SFB_18_Si.php
Research Group: Algorithmic and Discrete Mathematics (Christoph Helmberg), Department of Mathematics

Research in the CRC 1410 Hybrid Societies pertains to the interaction
with Embodied Digital Technologies (EDTs) as artificial bodies moving in
real or virtual environments (www.hybrid-societies.org
). Interdisciplinary research in the
CRC is guided by two leading questions to ultimately ensure smooth and
efficient encounters between humans and embodied technologies in hybrid
societies: What is required so that humans can coordinate with EDTs as
smoothly as with conspecifics? How to design EDTs to meet these
requirements? Cooperating researchers from psychology, engineering,
computer science, human movement science, linguistics and gesture
studies, sociology, law studies, physics, and mathematics scientifically
inquire the interaction of humans with EDTs from the level of single
actions up to the attribution of intentionality.

Within the project "Mathematical Methods to Extract Information from
High-dimensional Data" this position will focus on developing graph
partitioning approaches for locating metastable states within a Markov
model of time series transitions on a discretized state space. Jointly
with two further mathematical researchers who concentrate on
stochastic/statistical and on function approximation techniques, the
successful applicant will interact closely with other CRC members on
analyzing the time series data generated in experiments to explore the
possibilities of autonomous systems to recognize human intentions and
reactions. The mathematical research topic of this position will be new
semidefinite approaches for optimizing spectral graph parametes related
to graph partitioning.

Researchers in the CRC Hybrid Societies contribute to the CRC’s joint
research activities and actively participate, for instance, in research
colloquia, lecture series, and workshops. The doctoral position includes
the enrollment in the CRC's doctoral program.

Requirements:

* University degree (Master/Diploma or equivalent) in Mathematics,
Computer Science, or a similar background
* Basic knowledge of discrete and/or convex optimization will be of
advantage
* Experience with and a strong interest in programming (e,g, in C++)
is a plus
* Strong motivation for contributing to science in interdisciplinary
collaboration
* Fluent in English (both written and spoken)

Application procedure:

Applicants should send their complete application documents including a
motivation letter (1 page) with a brief description of personal
qualifications and research interests, a tabular curriculum vitae,
copies of degree certificates and academic transcripts, a publication
list if applicable, and abstracts of Bachelor- and Master-/diploma
