摘要: |
The significance of this research is rooted in the issue of equipment utilization. In particular, the project addressed the issue of chassis logistics associated with containerized freight movements in the intermodal transportation industry. The research focuses on the development of a model that optimizes the reallocation of the chassis to freight terminals to meet the desired demand. The developed model provides minimum cost solutions to chassis allocation problems and characterizes the complexity of the model in order to demonstrate its practical significance. A software system is also developed to incorporate the model as a basis for decision support in chassis fleet management issues. The mathematical model is based on a modified version of the transportation algorithm. In addition to accommodating the normal supply and demand requirements, the model must also take into account the time-dimension of the problem to achieve schedule feasibility. Evaluation of the effectiveness of the proposed model is achieved by using scenarios supported by data collected from industry. |
