Abstract

In this project we aim at studying new optimization frameworks and models for transportation and logistics problems that arise from the technological advances and the data availability. Flexible on-demand transportation systems and car sharing systems are promising directions to reduce the number of cars and the parking space. Coordinated routing of vehicles can reduce congestion. Carrier collaboration can reduce the number of trucks on road. Many classical logistics problems need to be revisited and new models developed to exploit the new dynamic and detailed dimensions of the available information.
