Abstract

This study examines capacity planning and service network design in less-than-truckload freight systems coordinated through a M1M platform matching shippers with carriers. We incorporate heterogeneous resource types and integrate strategic capacity allocation with tactical service network design. We develop a stochastic, risk-aware model using CVaR to produce resilient transportation plans that balance profitability, reliability, and operational stability. We present an several exact and approximate solution methods based on Benders decomposition to tackle large instances.
