Network Design for Express Shipment Delivery
Service network design problems arise at airlines (passenger and cargo), trucking companies, railroads, etc., wherever there is a need to determine cost minimizing routes and schedules, given constraints on resource availability and level of service. We focus on a particular service network design application, namely, the express shipment delivery problem, and we develop models and a solution t...
متن کاملComposite variable formulations for express shipment service network design
In this paper we describe a new approach to solving the express shipment service network design problem. Conventional polyhedral methods for network design and network loading problems do not consistently solve instances of the planning problem we consider. Under a restricted version of the problem, we transform conventional formulations to a new formulation using what we term composite variabl...
متن کاملA Service Design Problem for a Railway Network
We study the problem of designing a set of highly-profitable freight routes in a railway network, taking into account the capacity of the network and the level of service requested by different goods; in particular the profit achieved by transporting a good is a nonlinear function of the associated transit time. We propose an ILP model which is solved heuristically by column generation and fixi...
متن کاملThe Continuous-Time Service Network Design Problem
Consolidation carriers transport shipments that are small relative to trailer capacity. To be cost-effective, the carrier must consolidate shipments, which requires coordinating their paths in both space and time, i.e., the carrier must solve a Service Network Design problem. Most service network design models rely on discretization of time, i.e., instead of determining the exact time at which ...
متن کاملRailway Passenger Service Timetable Design
The aim of this paper is to analyze and to improve the current planning process of the passenger railway service. At first, the state-of-the-art in research is presented. Given the recent changes in legislature allowing competitors to enter the railway industry in Europe, also known as liberalization of railways, the current way of planning does not reflect the situation anymore. The original p...
