Reinforcement Learning for Freight Booking Control Problems. (arXiv:2102.00092v2 [math.OC] UPDATED)

Booking control problems are sequential decision-making problems that occur
in the domain of revenue management. More precisely, freight booking control
focuses on the problem of deciding to accept or reject bookings: given a
limited capacity, accept a booking request or reject it to reserve capacity for
future bookings with potentially higher revenue. This problem can be formulated
as a finite-horizon stochastic dynamic program, where accepting a set of
requests results in a profit at the end of the booking period …
