Evolutionary Freight Transportation Planning

In this paper, we present the freight transportation planning component of the INWEST project. This system utilizes an evolutionary algorithm with intelligent search operations in order to achieve a high utilization of resources and a minimization of the distance travelled by freight carriers in real-world scenarios. We test our planner rigorously with real-world data and obtain substantial imp...

Container Sharing in Seaport Hinterland Transportation

In this contribution we optimize the transportation of containers in the hinterland of a local area with one terminal and one depot for empty containers and trucks.

Additionally, there are empty inbound containers and empty outbound containers. We pres...
