Análisis del impacto de un sistema inteligente de transporte sobre una red de distribución.

Abstract

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) have

the potential to improve the efficiency of a

distribution network facilitating decision-making

in real time. In this paper, we analyze with a

case study the profit reported by an ITS in a

perishable goods distribution network under

different network configurations and different

environmental conditions. An ITS serves as

support in three areas of decision making:

Assignment to logistic flow, new collection orders

from suppliers and detection and management

of degraded merchandise. The analysis have been

developed through a dynamic simulation model

and an ANOVA test.
