A new planning model to support logistics service providers in selecting mode, route, and terminal location

Abstract In this paper, we address thefreight network design problem. A mixed integer linear program is formulated to help logistics service providers jointlyselect the best terminal locations among a set of candidate locations, shipping modes, and route for shipping different types of commodities. The developed model isapplied to two different networksto show its applicability. Results obtained from CPLEX for the case studiesare presented, and the benefit of the proposed model is discussed
