Over deze cursus
In this course, we cover both the transportation business and the optimization of its operations. We study transport decision-making on all three levels of the decision hierarchy (strategic, tactical, operational), in long-haul and short-haul transport, and in the transportation of people and goods. For example, We learn about mathematical models for building up a network of flights operating between cities, routing cargo bikes within cities, or about connecting different transport modes such as air, water, road, and rail in international transport chains.
We use both mathematical modeling (mixed integer linear programs and their implementation in Python&Gurobi) and basic exact and heuristic algorithms.
