Speaker: John Gunnar Carlsson, Ph.D.,
Talk Title: "New problems in modern logistical systems"
Abstract: In recent years, some of the most talked-about developments in the transportation sector include the use of drones, the introduction of last-mile delivery services, and the use of large-scale mapping data. Along with these new developments comes a host of new problems and trade offs. We will discuss three such problems and use the continuous approximation paradigm to reveal basic insights about those factors that influence them most significantly.
