This book provides a general and broad coverage of concepts, models, and solution methodologies available for freight transportation. It includes preliminaries, such as mathematical modeling and simulation, but does not require prior knowledge of these techniques. Case studies or practical examples are featured in each chapter to illustrate applications of the concepts and models covered and to encourage a hands-on and practical approach. Both authors have taught and published extensively in the field and draw on state-of-the-art scientific research.
