Title: | Mixed truck delivery systems with both hub-and-spoke and direct shipment | Authors: | Liu, J Li, CL Chan, CY |
Issue Date: | Jul-2003 | Source: | Transportation research. Part E, Logistics and transportation review, July 2003, v. 39, no. 4, p. 325-339 | Abstract: | This paper studies a mixed truck delivery system that allows both hub-and-spoke and direct shipment delivery modes. A heuristic algorithm is developed to determine the mode of delivery for each demand and to perform vehicle routing in both modes of deliveries. Computational experiments are carried out on a large set of randomly generated problem instances to compare the mixed system with the pure hub-and-spoke system and the pure direct shipment system. The experiment results show that the mixed system can save around 10% total traveling distance on average as compared with either of the two pure systems. | Keywords: | Truck delivery system Hub-and-spoke Direct shipment Mixed system Vehicle routing Heuristic algorithm |
