Formulation of service network design with time requirements to schedule heterogeneous fleet

摘要

To satisfy specific real-life demand of freight transportation carriers, this paper proposes an arc-based formulation for service network design with time requirements to schedule heterogeneous fleet. The computational study indicates the validity of the formulation both academically and practically. The results shows that heterogeneous fleet is essential to tactical planning for increasing the loading rate of vehicles and reducing the waste of resources.
