TRANSPORTATION NETWORK OPTIMIZATION

摘要

Techniques for transportation network optimization are provided. An example method includes receiving a shipment plan referencing one or more shipments associated with shipment carriers, where the shipment carriers include at least one common carrier fleet and at least one dedicated fleet, determining one or more constraints associated with the one or more shipment carriers included in the shipment plan, where the constraints include one or more of: driver hours of service, backhaul loads or shipments, the dedicated fleet equipment availability, the dedicated fleet's fixed cost and the dedicated fleet's shipment cost, or the common carrier fleet's shipment cost, wherein the dedicated fleet's shipment cost and the common carrier fleet's shipment cost are based on their respective lane rates, and generating an updated shipment plan based on selectively assigning the one or more shipments to the dedicated fleet or the common carrier fleet based on the determined constraints.
