Abstract: |
Road
transport makes up a large share of total costs of intermodal transport. In
this paper pre- and end- haulage in the service area of intermodal container
ter- minals is modelled as a Full Truckload Pickup and De- livery Problem. A
single container is delivered from the terminal to a customer or picked up at
a customer location and returned to the terminal. Customers
im- pose hard time windows. A two-phase insertion heuris- tic is developed.
In a first phase delivery customers are paired with pickup customers. These
pairs of customers are assigned to routes in a second phase. The initial so-
lution is improved by a local search procedure based on a CROSS operator. The
construction heuristic and im- provement heuristic are demonstrated by means
of a numerical example. |
