Abstract

Transportation operations and logistics is an area that can be used to help ensure a sustainable and environmentally friendly transportation system in Canada. This study focuses on the estimation of emission reduction benefits and the potential energy savings that can be realized with logistics optimization, particularly those resulting from computerized vehicle routing and scheduling (VRS) of pickups and deliveries at a trucking terminal. The objective of this research was to quantify the benefits and potential efficiency gains in terms of emission reduction with computerized VRS optimization (CVRSO) implementation by making a comparative analysis between different CVRSO methods and existing manual VRS methods. For the covering abstract of the conference see ITRD number E211521.
