<p>From the reviews:</p>“It is an edited collection of many different papers, all dealing with interesting problems connected with the management of vehicles in a dynamic environment. … it is quite an interesting book, especially for those who are not experts in the field: it gives a broad overview of models, and methods, and opens the mind to many research directions.” (F. Schoen, Journal of the Operational Research Society, Vol. 61 (11), 2010)
Dynamic Fleet Management will focus on real time management of a distribution system. This means that when a dynamic event occurs within the distribution chain, action must be taken in "real-time." The book will integrate the latest results in system design, algorithm development and system implementation, to capture the state-of-the art research and application trends. While much of the research in this area of transportation problems have almost exclusively concentrated on carrying out static plans on optional distribution conditions, this book will examine those problems when some dynamic or unplanned even occurs within the transport or network system. It will focus specifically on these cases and integrate the latest results in systems, routing algorithms and case studies where information (a dynamic event) is revealed to the decision maker in a real-time manner.

There is considerable interest in the more stochastic types of transportation problems involving real time traffic management and the dynamic aspects of the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) as represented in our global economy by means of supply chain logistics, shipping fleet management, etc. This book focuses on these current problems and it will be the first volume that explores the area of Dynamic Fleet Management Missing from distribution, VRP, and supply chain logistics books is the increasing need to provide systems and computational algorithms to the transportation industry that will enable them to address random dynamic events which can occur during normal business transport and adversely affect their operational performance. This book is the first organized volume to meet this need All the chapters in the volume were reviewed by three reviewers—and the reviewers are drawn from known researchers working in the field outside the book
