The procurement of transportation services via large-scale combinatorial auctions involves a couple of complex decisions whose outcome highly influences the performance of the tender process. This paper examines the shipper's task of selecting a subset of the submitted bids which efficiently...

This paper introduces a bi-objective winner determination problem which arises in the procurement oftransportation contracts via combinatorial auctions. The problem is modelled as an extension to the setcovering problem and considers the minimisation of the total procurement costs and the...

Customers are making increasing demands on the flexibility and the promptness of transportation services. In order to meet these requirements, planning methods are needed which are able to intelligently react on dynamically revealed information. Algorithms for dispatching transportation requests...
