Abstract
Synchronization of vehicle operations plays an important role for logistics service providers. Examples of logistics businesses with synchronization requirements can be found, e.g., in swap trailer transportation and truck-meets-truck traffic. In this paper, we provide a classification of the various types of synchronization requirements for transport means in logistics applications. For supporting the planning of logistics service operations, we formulate a new mixed-integer programming model for vehicle routing, where vehicle routes are synchronized at fixed and given points. Computational results are provided for assessing the solvability of the model under various problem settings. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
