In this paper pre- and end-haulage in the service area of intermodal container terminals is modelled as a Full Truckload Pickup and Delivery 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 impose hard time windows. A two-phase insertion heuristic 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 solution is improved by a local search procedure based on a CROSS operator. The construction heuristic and improvement heuristic are demonstrated by means of a numerical example. | Notes: | Hasselt Univ, Transportat Res Inst, Diepenbeek, B-3590 Belgium.Caris, A, Hasselt Univ, Transportat Res Inst, Campus Diepenbeek,Wetenschapspark 5 Bus 6, Diepenbeek, B-3590 Belgium. | Keywords: | intermodal transport, vehicle routing, time windows, full truckload, heuristics | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/7997 | ISBN: | 978-0-9553018-2-7 | ISI #: | 000252306400086 | Category: | C1 | Type: | Proceedings Paper | Validations: | ecoom 2009 |
