Abstract
In logistic problems, an Integral Multi-Commodity Network Design Problem on a time-space network is often used to model the problem of routing transportation means and assigning freight units to those means. In Physical Internet and Synchromodal networks an interactive planning approach is preferable, meaning that calculation times of a single planning step should be short. In this paper we provide ways to reduce the size of the problem formulation based on cutting planes, that are effective in reducing the computation time for Integer Linear Programming problem-based solution methods.
