From 1988 on, it is jointly managed by the Universite de Montreal and its affiliated schools, the Ecole des Hautes Etudes Commerciales and Ecole Poly technique. Professors, students and researchers from many institutions in the Montreal area join forces at the C.R.T. to analyze transportation, logistics and telecommunication systems from a multidisciplinary perspective. The C.R.T. pursues three major, complementary objectives: training of high-level specialists; the advancement of knowledge and technology; the transfer of technology towards industry and the public sector. Its main field of expertise is the develop ment of quantitative and computer-based models and methods for the analysis of urban, regional and intercity transportation networks, as well as telecommunication systems. This applies to the study of passenger and commodity flows, as well as to the socioeconomic aspects of transportation: policy, regulation, economics. The twenty-fifth anniversary of the C.R.T. offered the opportunity to evaluate past accomplishments and to identify future trends and challenges. Five colloquia were thus organized on major research and application themes that also reflected our main research areas. They gathered together internationally renowned researchers who linked recent scientific and technological advances to modeling and methodological challenges waiting to be tackled, particularly concerning new problems and applica tions, and the increasingly widespread use of new technologies. 272 pp. Englisch. …

Product Description
The first four chapters deal with various versions of the Vehicle Routing Problem (Vrp), probably the most central model in distribution management. The fourth chapter discusses the Inventory Routing Problem, a variant of the Vrp that combines routing and customer resupplying decisions. Growing competition in the area of logistics has forced several firms to pay closer attention to customer service and timeliness of deliveries. Dynamic real-time vehicle routing and dispatching is central to several fast-growing sectors such as emergency services, repairman dispatching, express courier delivery, and dial-a-ride transportation, as well as truckload and container operations. These fleet management issues are discussed in Chapters Five, Six and Seven. Chapters Eight and Nine address the crew scheduling problem faced by all airlines, combined locations-routing problems, and simultaneous routing decisions. In the final chapter the authors review the area of parallel metaheuristics, and provide new insight by studying commonalities among parallel implementations across several types of metaheuristics.
