Bid Price Optimization for Simultaneous Truckload Transportation Procurement Auctions
We study simultaneous transportation procurement auctions from a truckload carrier’s perspective. We formulate a stochastic bid price optimization problem with the objective of maximizing a carrier’s expected profit. The formulation takes into account the synergies among the lanes and the competing carriers’ bidding strategies. For solving this stochastic optimization problem, we develop an ite...
متن کاملCombinatorial Auctions for Transportation Service Procurement: The Carrier Perspective
The procurement of transportation services is an important task for shippers because of the need to control costs at the same time as providing high service levels. When shippers with goods and/or materials to transport seek transportation services from outside companies they typically put out a request for quotes from a set of carriers. They then assign contracts based on negotiated service ch...
متن کاملCollaborative Transportation Planning of Less-Than-Truckload Freight: Request Exchange through a Route-based Combinatorial Auction
Collaborative transportation planning (CTP) within a coalition of small and mid-sized freight carriers can be used as a powerful instrument to improve the operational efficiency of the coalition members. In such coalitions, transportation requests acquired from different freight carriers are exchanged among coalition members in order to reduce the total fulfillment costs. We consider the CTP fo...
متن کاملApproximation Algorithms for the Bid Construction Problem in Combinatorial Auctions for the Procurement of Freight Transportation Contracts
The bid valuation and construction problem for carriers facing combinatorial auctions for the procurement of freight transportation contracts is very difficult and involves the computation of a number of NP-hard sub problems. In this paper we examine computationally tractable approximation methods for estimating these values and constructing bids. The benefit of our approximation method is that...
