An approach to optimize the cargo distribution in urban areas.
Journal Title: Logistics and Transport - Year 2013, Vol 17, Issue 1
Abstract
The paper contains considerations concerning the approach to determin acceptable plans for distribution in urban areas. The distribution systems as an area of research in terms of reliability and ecological transport were presented. Multilevel distribution systems were characterized. Formalization of the city transport network model and optimization task were done. An algorithm to solve the problem of route optimization based on the solution of the VRP (Vehicle Routing Problem) was proposed and described.
