In addition to planning the allocation and positioning of empty
loading units, the allocation and positioning of the operating fleet
is also important but hard. In Fleet Management, there is a limited
set of vehicles with limited capacity and the problem is to optimally
allocate the capacity of this fleet to the random future orders,
or allocating the vehicles to defined services, in order to maximize
net profit. These problems also include decisions of repositioning
empty vehicles, transshipment, and many others. Overall, in both variants of resource management problems, balancing the distribution
of resources is the core of these highly dynamic problems.
