Solving an integrated operational transportation planning problem with forwarding limitations

Mario Ziebuhr and Herbert Kopfer

Transportation Research Part E: Logistics and Transportation Review, 2016, vol. 87, issue C, 149-166

Abstract: In integrated operational transportation planning (IOTP) problems, the traditional vehicle routing problem is extended by using external resources for the fulfillment of transportation requests. IOTP is getting more complex when the choice of the fulfillment mode is limited for some requests. In this paper, an existing column generation-based heuristic for IOTP is extended by two strategies for handling forwarding limitations. The computational experiments indicate that one of the extended versions of the heuristic outperforms all previous approaches in literature. Further on, the impact of forwarding limitations on different location structures and on the size of the private fleet is analyzed.
