This book serves as a primer on freight transportation and logistics providing a general and broad coverage of concepts mathematical models and methodologies available for freight transportation planning at strategic tactical and operational levels. It is aimed at graduate students and is also a reference book for practitioners in the field. The book includes preliminaries such as mathematical modeling and optimisation algorithms. The book also features case studies and practical real-life examples to illustrate applications of the concepts and models covered and to encourage a hands-on and a practical approach. The author has taught and published extensively in the field and draw on state-of-the-art scientific research. He has also been part of a number of practical research projects which underpin the real life examples in the book. |Freight Transport and Distribution Concepts and Optimisation Models | Civil Engineering
