Project

Collaborative Vehicle Routing. Algorithms for operational and tactical decision support in multi-partner VRPs.

The main goal of this research is to develop vehicle routing algorithms for collaborative vehicle routing problems that can support logistics decision-making in horizontal coalitions of distribution companies. The algorithms will enable these coalitions to plan their joint operational "milk-run" distribution, but will also allow them to answer related tactical questions with respect to the contribution to the coalition gain of the (potential) partners in the coalition.
