Abstract

Traffic Management and Logistic Optimization have been extensively studied as two separate classes of problems, for which numerous methodologies, mathematical models and algorithmic solutions were made available in literature. However, little attention has been devoted to the interactions between the variables involved in these problems and the consequences of the decision making processes carried independently by Traffic Managers and Logistic Players. We believe this to be of considerable importance, since partial or incomplete knowledge on one another's decisions might yield sub-optimality for either or both of them. In this work, we propose an integrated view on both classes of problems, providing mathematical formulations to support the assessment of the impact which the two players may have on each other.
