内容简介:

Smart city operations have received growing attention from the operations management community. This talk presents two projects that build data-driven solutions for city operations planning and management. The first part is devoted to the emerging food delivery operations. Working with a major food delivery service provider in China, we develop a data-driven optimization framework to minimize the expected delivery delay. Motivated by the real-world data set, we propose a machine learning approach to predict the actual travel time considering drivers' behaviors. Combined with the travel time prediction, our optimization framework is flexible and yields significantly better results than existing models that assume drivers follow the shortest routes. In the second part, we showcase how the real-world bike trajectory data can help improve the bike lane planning decision for city managers. We integrate the two objectives, coverage and continuity, into the bike lane planning model in view of the cyclists' utility functions. Efficient reformulations and algorithms are presented to solve the large-scale planning problem.
