Document Summary
Network design: highest level of decision making and analysis in transportation management comes from determining the locations for facilities in the network design. Comparison: distributed networks: consists of nodes that are connected base on prevailing demand and supply equilibrium. No routes or schedules are fixed: centripetal networks: when the center of gravity of different flows aggregates to a point. Think washington d. c. "s center which is the mall: centrifual netowrks: the flows seen on a centrifugal network resemble a grid pattern, with no specific node dominating the landscape. Think new york with no specific area of traffic. Optimization: the objective of the model is often the cost incurred in transporting the resources from each pair of origin-destination, the constraints are typically defined as capacities of the origin, or points. Heuristics and simulations: transportation is most often solved by using a rule of thumb, transportation is most often solved by using a rule of thumb.
