and will offer a forum for intellectual exchange between participants of
all the countries of North and South America, as well as from other
regions around the world. The conference will be held *June 9-12, 2019

As the co-chair of the "Vehicle Routing/Transportation Cluster" I hope
that you can join us!

Vehicle Routing / Transportation Cluster

This cluster includes talks on both theory and applications. We welcome
talks that present solutions, methods, algorithms, case studies, or
software, attracting the interest of academic and industrial
researchers, practitioners, and policymakers. Special interest will be
given to talks that extend, unify, and integrate related branches of
knowledge and practice. The applications include traditional domains,
such as freight and passenger transportation, services, logistics, and
manufacturing, as well as modern issues such as autonomous cars,
intelligent transportation systems, and the Internet of Things (IoT),
and the profound environmental and societal implications of achieving
efficiencies in resources, power, labor, and time. As such, the target
audience includes academics developing quantitative approaches to
transportation and practitioners who work on problems in supply chain
management, logistic, aviation, railroads, highways traffic, public
transportation, and military transport.
