Abstract
In this chapter, optimization models for routing in city logistics are introduced and evaluated. A planning framework is established that features the provision of cost-efficient as well as customer-oriented delivery tours as required by demanding routing applications. To this end, an overview on problem formulations, optimization models, and solution procedures for “offline” routing is given, i.e., the most relevant information for the optimization of transportation resources is assumed to be available the day before realization. The focus is especially on the incorporation of information concerning the expected state of the city road network in terms of information models.
