Traffic Information and Dynamic Vehicle Routing in Forwarding Agencies
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper considers a routing and scheduling problem of forwarding agencies handling less-than-truckload (LTL) freight. On the one hand, the performance of these companies is influenced by unknown customer orders, increasingly received shortly before the actual pickup. On the other hand, the transport times between two consecutive points in a tour sometimes vary significantly. The objective is to avoid lateness of orders and increase equipment utilization. In the following we present the basic ideas of modeling a look ahead capability for travel times and an anticipation of customer orders.

On Profitableness of Considering Dynamics in Forwarding Agencies
Pickup and Delivery Problems, where customers may both receive and send goods, are an extension to classical Vehicle Routing Problems. We do not make the assumption common in literature that goods may only be picked up after all deliveries have been completed. Thereby we model industry problems encountered by freight forwarding agencies, which have to deal with dynamic pickups and deliveries in...
متن کاملAn Improved Junction-Based Directional Routing Protocol (IJDRP) for VANETs
Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs) is a novel technology that has recently emerged and due to its swift changing topology and high mobility nature, it has become problematic to design an efficient routing protocol in VANETs’ amongst both moving and stationary units. Also, the existing routing algorithms are not very effective to satisfy all requirements of VANETs. This paper explores the need o...

متن کاملNetwork Parameters Evaluation in Vehicular Ad-hoc Network (VANET) Routing Protocols for Efficient Message Delivery in City Environment
Abstract- Efficient message delivery in city environment is required to ensure driver’s safety and passenger’s comfortability. In cities of developed nations, routing of data in vehicular Ad hoc Network (VANET) faces many challenges such as radio obstacles, mobility constraints and uneven nodes distribution. These factors primarily makes communication between vehicles complex. To overcome and t...
