摘要
Routing decisions play an important role in managing the operations of LTL motor carriers. They strongly interact with service and terminal operation policy choices and are particularly sensitive to variations in demand. We conducted several studies with large Canadian carriers, using a network optimization based methodology for tactical planning of freight transportation that we developed. We obtained results that illustrate the complexity of the routing decisions and the importance of tactical analysis and planning for the efficiency of intercity freight transportation.
