Tactical Network Flow and Discrete Optimization Models and Algorithms for the Empty Railcar Transportation Problem
Prior to 1980, the practice in multilevel autorack management was to load the railcars at various origin points, ship them to the destination ramps, unload them, and then return each car to the loading point where it originated. Recognizing the inefficiency of such a practice with respect to the fle...
