Workshop: Vehicle Routing and Network Planning with the Decision Support System TransIT

GTS Systems and Consulting GmbH invites all participants of the "EURO Conference Bonn 2009" to the TransIT workshop. The workshop will introduce the decision support system TransIT to academic users and demonstrate how the system can be used for teaching and research.

TransIT is used in a wide range of different industries. These include distribution, recycling, forwarding, service technician dispatching, and many more. In addition to optimisation algorithms that are used for planning, TransIT offers a multitude of other features, e.g., mobile communication, online GPS tracking, reporting etc.

A special TransIT educational license package is now available at a reduced price. This allows teachers to demonstrate how modern decision support systems use Operational Research (OR) based algorithms to improve both the efficiency of planning and the quality of planning results. TransIT offers an open, service oriented optimisation interface. By connecting to this interface, researchers can test their own solvers, compare them to the standard solvers of TransIT and view and analyse the results within an integrated platform. Moreover, since TransIT takes into consideration many real-world constraints, researchers can also test their algorithms on real-world problem classes that are only rarely considered by academia.

The workshop is open to all participants of the EURO Conference Bonn 2009. It will present both the basic functionalities of the system and introduce the accompanying tutorial and interface material. It is not required to register for the workshop.
