Abstract

ABSTRACT In the forest industry, transportation accounts for a significant part of the operational costs. Reducing transportation costs through advanced planning and improved efficiency has motivated considerable research efforts. A substantial part of the research has been devoted to planning methodology and decision support systems development to solve large complex vehicle routing problems in forest timber or roundwood transportation. This paper reviews the scientific contributions to timber transportation vehicle routing planning methodologies and decision support systems used in case studies found in the literature. The challenges of their deployment are discussed and future research opportunities are presented. Vehicle routing problems in timber transportation differ from general vehicle routing problems in many aspects. This paper also describes the industrial context, in which various timber transportation vehicle routing problems (TTVRPs) are intrinsic. Several attributes are identified that characterize the TTVRPs, for which various planning and solution methodologies have been implemented.

木材运输车辆路径问题的规划方法和决策支持系统综述

摘要在林业中，运输成本占运营成本的很大一部分。通过先进的规划和提高效率来降低运输成本，激发了大量的研究工作。该研究的很大一部分致力于规划方法和决策支持系统的开发，以解决森林木材或圆木运输中的大型复杂车辆路线问题。本文综述了文献中案例研究中使用的木材运输车辆路线规划方法和决策支持系统的科学贡献。讨论了它们部署的挑战，并提出了未来的研究机会。木材运输中的车辆路线问题在许多方面不同于一般车辆路线问题。本文还描述了工业背景，其中各种木材运输车辆路线问题（TTPRP）是内在的。确定了具有TTPRP特征的几个属性，并为其实施了各种规划和解决方案方法。
