The transportation of logs from the forest to the mill accounts for 25-50% of the delivered cost of wood, depending mostly on haul distance. Decision support systems (DSS) for log truck scheduling and dispatching have the potential to reduce transportation costs by optimally constructing routes, also known as schedules for...
