Models and methods for merge-in-transit operations

KL Croxton, B Gendron… - Transportation science, 2003 - pubsonline.informs.org
We develop integer programming formulations and solution methods for addressing
operational issues in merge-in-transit distribution systems. The models account for various
complex problem features, including the integration of inventory and transportation
decisions, the dynamic and multimodal components of the application, and the nonconvex
piecewise linear structure of the cost functions. To accurately model the cost functions, we
introduce disaggregation techniques that allow us to derive a hierarchy of linear …
