Incorporating Uncertainty in Truckload Relay Network Design

Creator:

Mokhtari, Zahra

Abstract:

In a relay network for full truckload (TL) transportation, facilities known as relay points (RPs) serve as exchange points where truck drivers can exchange trailers. This would help carriers to assign more regular tours to drivers when compared to the excessively long tours that exist in the traditional Point-to-Point (PtP)...
