When considering long-haul transport requests, the durations of rest periods and breaks highly influence the overall time needed for fulfillment. In the European Union, Regulation (EC) No 561/2006 defines the rules for the number, duration and time intervals when rest periods and breaks have to...

Fuel is one main cost driver in the road haulage sector. An analysis of diesel price variations across different European countries showed that a significant potential for cutting fuel expenditure can be found in international long-haul freight transportation. Here, truck drivers are often on...

The bi-objective winner determination problem (2WDP-SC) of a combinatorial procurement auction for transport contracts comes up to a multi-criteria set covering problem. We are given a set B of bundle bids. A bundle bid b in B consists of a bidding carrier c_b, a bid price p_b, and a set tau_b...

In diesem Beitrag wurde ein Rahmenmodell für elektronische Transportmärkte vorgestellt, das einen systematischen Überblick möglicher Funktionalitäten und den erreichten Entwicklungsstand aufzeigt. Auf dieser Grundlage werden typische Strukturen von Transportmärkten identifiziert und auf...

This article conducts a computational study for the Job Shop Scheduling Problem. The focus lies on the structure of the search space as it appears for local search.

In this paper we present the integrated operational transportation planning probem as theextention of the traditional pick-up-and delivery-problem-with-time-windows. The extention consists inthe possibility of forwarding the requests to subcontractors on dierent terms: from the simple...
