Abstract
This paper gives an integrated view on two important issues in freight transportation. One is the pickup and delivery problem, the other is the resource allocation problem. In the pickup and delivery problem, re-usable resources are transported by trucks between locations. Additionally, these charge carriers have to be balanced in the transportation network on a rolling planning horizon. We introduce a mathematical formulation of this problem integrating routing and allocation. In a dynamic environment, integration strategies come along with advantages and disadvantages. We discuss these strategies and issues of their application.
