- Abstract
- The importance of efficient container transportation becomes more significant each year due to theconstant growth of the global marketplace, and studies focusing on shipping efficiency are becomingincreasingly important. In this paper, we propose an approach for vehicle scheduling that decreases thenumber of vehicles required for freight commerce by analyzing and scheduling optimal routes. Containertransportation can be classified into round and single-trip transportation, and each vehicle can be linked ina specific order based on the vehicle state after completing an order. We develop a mathematical model todetermine the required number of vehicles with optimal routing, and a heuristic algorithm to performvehicle scheduling for many orders in a significantly shorter duration. Finally, we tested some numericalexamples and compared the developed model and the heuristic algorithm. We also developed a decisionsupport system that can schedule vehicles based on the heuristic algorithm.1)
