Abstract

Traffic congestion is uncertain and undesirable in logistics and leads to arrival uncertainty at downstream locations engendering disruptions. This paper considers a loading facility that uses Truck Appointment System (TAS) for slot management and faces incoming truck arrival uncertainty due to traffic congestion. Due to the recent advancements in cyber-physical systems, we propose an adaptive system that uses the real-time truck Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) data to make informed decisions. We develop an integer mathematical model to represent the adaptive behavior that determines the optimal reschedules by minimizing the average truck waiting time. We developed a simulation model of the adaptive system and reported the estimated benefits from our initial experiments.
