Abstract:

A shipment scheduling and operational control method is developed and tested, to help railroads become more competitive for high revenue, service sensitive freight. A bid-price based, profit maximizing revenue management approach is proposed to allow a rail carrier to develop achievable and market sensitive quotations of delivery time for new shipments calling in. Bid prices are derived using a subgradient step size algorithm; a modified shortest path procedure is used to solve the decomposed subproblems.
