Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This course deals with basic and advanced methods for the resolution of vehicle routing problems. The course deals with classical and new variants of the vehicle routing problem, e.g., the vehicle routing problem with time windows, pick-up-and-delivery problems, and problems with synchronization aspects. Moreover, current trends in transport logistics are discussed (e.g., ride sharing, electric vehicles, sustainability aspects, ...).
The course focus on state-of-the-art components of exact as well as heuristic solution methods. Regarding exact methods, we learn about the components of branch-price-and-cut algorithms. On the heuristic side, local search methods and large neighborhood search are covered.
In the optimization tools part of the course, we will learn how solution methods can be implemented by using different optimization tools. These tools will be applied in several homework assignments.
A basic OR knowledge is strongly recommended. Experience in using modelling languages or coding is beneficial. According to the flipped classroom principle, students will prepare a presentation in groups and present in class.

Note: You can participate either in the course 'Transportation Analytics'
or in the course 'Transportation Analytics and Optimization Tools' (not in both)!
