Industries rely on transportation and logistics network to leverage their supply chains. Logistics networks associated with the delivery of goods are highly complex, dynamic systems that are impacted by multiple time and resource constraints and factors. The objective of this Project is to develop and implement artificial intelligence (AI) based methods and tools to help build an intelligent regional logistics network for goods delivery that satisfies service level goals and minimizes financial and environmental costs. The Project seeks to provide AI-based solutions to the challenges associated with goods delivery by trucks in a routing network structure, which will lead to more efficient goods delivery service and support public policy objectives related to reducing greenhouse gas emissions., description french : Optimisation des réseaux de logistique régionaux pour la distribution des marchandises, expected results english : In the short term, anticipated outcomes will be strengthened collaborations across industry, academia, and government to support research excellence.
