Optimal Fixed Route for Multimodal Transportation of Vehicle Logistics in Context of Soft Time Windows

Abstract

In order to improve customer satisfaction and reduce the cost of vehicle logistics transportation, this paper adopts the mixed-integer programming model to analyze the delivery routes of vehicle logistics and make simulation and analysis based on the real delivery case. The results show that, compared with a single transportation scheme, the vehicle logistics optimization scheme based on the mixed-integer programming model is able to produce the optimal multimodal transportation plan, which can reduce the transportation costs, improve the service of transportation enterprises, and enhance their core competitiveness.
