De la contraportada

<p></p><p>The second edition of Multi-Objective Management in Freight Logistics&nbsp;builds upon the first, providing a detailed study of freight&nbsp;transportation systems, with a specific focus on multi-objective&nbsp;modelling. It offers decision-makers methods and tools for&nbsp;implementing multi-objective optimisation models in logistics. The&nbsp;second edition also includes brand-new chapters on green supply chain&nbsp;and hybrid fleet management problems.<br> <br> After presenting the general framework and multi-objective optimization, the book analyses green logistic focusing on two main aspects: green&nbsp;corridors and network design; next, it studies logistic issues in a maritime terminal and route planning in the context of hazardous material&nbsp;transportation. Finally,&nbsp;heterogeneous fleets distribution and coordination models are discussed.<br> <br> The book presents problems providing the mathematics, algorithms,&nbsp;implementations, and the related experiments for each problem. It&nbsp;offers a valuable resource for postgraduate students and researchers&nbsp;in transportation, logistics and operations, as well as practitioners&nbsp;working in service systems.</p><p></p>
