Optimization-based Learning for Dynamic Load Planning in Trucking Service Networks

arXiv:2307.04050v2 Announce Type: replace-cross
Abstract: The load planning problem is a critical challenge in service network design for parcel carriers: it decides how many trailers to assign for dispatch over time between pairs of terminals. Another key challenge is to determine a flow plan, which specifies how parcel volumes are assigned to planned loads. This paper considers the Outbound Load Planning Problem (OLPP) that considers flow and load planning challenges jointly in order to adjust loads and flows as the …
