Delivery Problem Solution for Small-cargo Physical Distribution Control
نویسنده
چکیده
The paper deals with the main small-cargo physical distribution control problems and their solutions. Traffic congestions in cities are not constant; so it is impossible to use only standard route planning methods for efficient physical distribution control. It is significant to use vehicles optimally; to find the optimal number of vehicles. Company should find also the best objects’ serving radius to achieve the best profit. It is necessary to compare the costs and revenue for different opportunities.

Considering different kinds of vehicles in a hierarchical hub location model
In this study a hierarchical hub location problem with two layers is considered. The first layer includes small hubs and the second one includes a star-shaped network central hub. The considered case is a cargo delivery network where there is hierarchy between hubs. All the hubs and links are capacitated and there are three kinds of commodities for each of which there is a special kind of vehic...
متن کاملDynamic Cargo Trains Scheduling for Tackling Network Constraints and Costs Emanating from Tardiness and Earliness
This paper aims to develop a multi-objective model for scheduling cargo trains faced by the costs of tardiness and earliness, time limitations, queue priority and limited station lines. Based upon the Islamic Republic of Iran Railway Corporation (IRIRC) regulations, passenger trains enjoy priority over other trains for departure. Therefore, the timetable of cargo trains must be determined based...
متن کاملCoordinating Order Acceptance and Batch Delivery for an Integrated Supply Chain Scheduling
This paper develops Order Acceptance for an Integrated Production-Distribution Problem in which Batch Delivery is implemented. The aim of this problem is to coordinate: (1) rejecting some of the orders (2) production scheduling of the accepted orders and (3) batch delivery to maximize Total Net Profit. A Mixed Integer Programming is proposed for the problem. In addition, a hybrid meta-heuristic...

This study considers a freight forwarder's operational implementation of alternative access airport policy in a multi-airport region for air cargo transportation. Given a set of heterogeneous air cargo customers, the fo...
متن کاملColumn generation approaches to ship scheduling with flexible cargo sizes
We present a Dantzig-Wolfe procedure for the ship scheduling problem with flexible cargo sizes. This problem is similar to the well-known pickup and delivery problem with time windows, but the cargo sizes are defined by an interval instead of a fixed value. We show that the introduction of flexible cargo sizes to the column generation framework is not straightforward, and we handle the flexible...
