Abstract

We study fleet sizing in transportation networks under demand uncertainty through a contextual stochastic optimization framework. The approach incorporates observable contextual factors, such as seasonality and market conditions, to improve demand estimation, while imposing loss-ratio constraints to control expected shortages relative to available capacity. We develop a data-driven solution method combining nonparametric learning and integer programming, establish its asymptotic optimality, and demonstrate its computational tractability in practical settings.
