| Abstract: | Truck routing and scheduling problems are differentiated from other vehicle routing and scheduling problems and a classification for the former ones is outlined. Many characteristics of practical truck routing and scheduling problems are listed and several aspects are discussed, among them are: soft constraints, demand variability, multiple objectives, complex cost functions and alternate solution approaches with their potential for solving practical problems. It is a suggested that cost based interactive heuristics coupled with graphical presentation of solutions may be the right method for this purpose. |
