A MILP-Model for the Optimization of Transports

- Summary
- Metrics

Abstract

This paper presents a work in developing a mathematical model for the optimization of transports. The decisions to be made are routing decisions, truck assignment and the determination of the pickup order for a set of loads and available trucks. The model presented takes these aspects into account simultaneously. The MILP model is implemented in the Microsoft Excel environment, utilizing the LP‐solve freeware as the optimization engine and Visual Basic for Applications as the modeling interface.
