About

Batool Madani is a researcher whose work lies at the intersection of operations research, logistics, and autonomous systems. Her primary research focuses on optimizing last-mile delivery, particularly through the innovative lens of autonomous vehicles. In her most-cited paper, "Autonomous Vehicles Delivery Systems Classification: Introducing a TSP With a Moving Depot" (2019, 11 citations), Madani tackles the pressing challenges of e-commerce logistics by rethinking the classic Traveling Salesman Problem. Her key contribution is the introduction of a "moving depot" concept, which models delivery vehicles that are not stationary but in motion, a critical advancement for coordinating drones and self-driving vans in real-world supply chains. This work provides a foundational classification for autonomous delivery systems, offering a framework that reduces operational inefficiencies in last-mile distribution. While her citation count reflects the early-stage nature of this rapidly evolving field, Madani’s research is notable for its forward-looking approach, bridging theoretical optimization with practical, scalable solutions for the future of urban logistics. Her contributions are particularly valuable for students and researchers exploring the intersection of AI, transportation, and sustainable supply chain management.
