Resumo:
Less-than-truckload transportation problems are great candidates for the application of optimization techniques as a form to obtain a better exploitation of resources. This thesis introduces integer programming models and the developed algorithms for the proper resolution of the studied problems in this context. The focal point is the vehicle's dislocation planning for the ideal attendance of the demands during a certain time period. Different forms of vehicle contract are considered. There are time windows for the attendances and demands can share a same vehicle in one or more parts of its route until his destination. Connections are allowed, that is, demands can use more than one vehicle for its attendance, respecting the operational capacities of the centers (collection and distribution stations). The goals embraces the sizing of the proper fleet which has a fixed cost, and the operation's planning during the period. This one should determine which demands are transported by which vehicles in what instants and where on routes. The resolution's method proposed uses algorithms for the graph's construction and pre-processing which represents the problem and allows that the formulation, as an integer program, to have a resolution more efficient. Furthermore, the corresponding algorithm solves a sequence of integer programs to obtain feasible quality solutions for the differents versions of the considered problem. Improvements on the lower bounds gotten are also proposed. The resulting code was tested in a set of proposed instances that were based on the operation of an important brazilian trucking company . Results were acquired such for conditions of real utilization, in other words, with a limited time of execution, as to test the limits of the proposed method. In both cases, solutions of comproved high quality were obtained.
