We consider the strategic level routing problem of hazardous materials in marine waters overa multicommodity network with multiple origins脗 destinations. The problem is motivated by the fact that selecting optimal routes by each origin脗 destination pair or by each type of material ismyopic and may result in overloading certain links of the transportation network and, consequently, in poor overall system performance. We employ a network flow model, instead of the traditional shortest path formulation, to capture the multicommodity, multiple origin脗 destination nature of the problem. An efficient two-phase solution approach is proposed. Theproposed solution methodology is illustrated through a single hazmat problem followed by a large scale case study of the marine transportation system of oil products in the Gulf of Mexico. |
