Traffic Information and Dynamic Vehicle Routing in Forwarding Agencies

This paper considers a routing and scheduling problem of forwarding agencies handling less-than-truckload (LTL) freight. On the one hand, the performance of these companies is influenced by unknown customer orders, increasingly received shortly before the actual pickup. On the other hand, the transport times between two consecutive points in a tour sometimes vary significantly. The objective is to avoid lateness of orders and increase equipment utilization. In the following we present the basic ideas of modeling a look ahead capability for travel times and an anticipation of customer orders.
