Abstract

Transportation engineering and logistics have been utilizing sensor networks for statistical analysis and data collection for years. In the last decades, due to the increased interest in sensor networks for optimization techniques, advancements have been made in attempts to provide on the fly algorithms that adapt to an ever-changing world. This chapter aims to give useful insight and present the latest developments in this growing branch of optimization and operations research.
