Tabu assisted guided local search approaches for freight service network design
Service network design involves determination of the most cost-effective transportation network and service characteristics subject to various constraints. Good progress has been made in developing metaheuristic approaches that can compete or even outperform some commercial software packages (Ghamlouche et al 2004; Pedersen et al 2009). However, since most of these metaheuristic methods involve...
متن کاملProbabilistic Tabu Search for Telecommunications Network Design
This paper presents a computational study of a network design problem arising in the telecommunication industry. The objective can be formulated as that of nding an optimal degree constrained Steiner tree in a graph whose nodes and edges are weighted by costs. We develop a probabilistic Tabu Search heuristic for this problem, addressing issues of move evaluations, error correction, tabu memorie...
متن کاملGuided Local Search for Optimal GPON/FTTP Network Design
Fibre optic access networks are of increased popularity among network operators. Many types of fibre network are being deployed globally to satisfy the ever increasing users bandwidth requirements. The rate of deployments of such networks is expected to increase in coming years, moreover this requires cost efficient, reliable and robust network designs. Despite the relative complex structure of...
متن کاملService network design in freight transportation
Tactical planning of operations is comprised of a set of interrelated decisions that aim to ensure an optimal allocation and utilization of resources to achieve the economic and customer service goals of the company. Tactical planning is particularly vital for intercity freight carriers that make intensive use of consolidation operations. Railways and less-than-truckload motor carriers are typi...
متن کاملScheduled Service Network Design for Freight Rail Transportation
The paper addresses the scheduled service network design problem for freight rail transportation. The proposed model integrates service selection and scheduling, car classification and blocking, train make up, and routing of time-dependent customer shipments, based on a cyclic three-layer space-time network representation of the associated operations and decisions, their relations and time dime...
