In: 6th International Conference on Operations Research and Enterprise Systems (ICORES

This paper gives an overview of research work in progress within the COSLE (Collaborative Optimisation in a Shared Logistics Environment) project between the University of Nottingham and Microlise Ltd. This is an R&D project that seeks to develop optimisation technology to enable more efficient collaboration in transportation, particularly real-world operational environments involving pickup and delivery problems. The overall aim of the project is to integrate various optimisation techniques into a framework that facilitates collaboration in a shared freight transport logistics environment with the overall goal of reducing empty mileage.
