| Syllabus: | Basic concepts of the role that transportation plays in logistics are introduced in this unit. Optimal solutions are developed for problems that operate under cost and pricing constraints. Several main types of transportation network models are examined along with applicable costing models. Global transportation systems and network performance measures are briefly examined. The primary emphasis in this unit is on the optimisation of planning and management in both long-haul and short-haul freight transportation models. Long-haul transportation systems: optimal solutions to service network design models, freight traffic assignment problems and freight terminal design and operations are investigated. Issues relating to fleet composition, dispatching and vehicle allocation are explored and optimal solutions derived. Short-haul transportation systems: vehicle routing and arc routing problems along with their associated algorithms (including heuristics) are studied, and applicable optimisation techniques are evaluated. Feasible approaches for the integration of facility location and routing are assessed. Case studies are used to highlight and expand the understanding and application of the topics discussed in the unit. |
