Abstract

In their Golden Age, the seventeenth century, the Dutch were the freighters and traders of Europe. They still are, to some extent. Then with ships, now with trucks.

This paper is an introduction to the section on Logistics and Traffic. Logistics has been restricted to physical distribution, which is logistics external to the firm. Traffic concentrates on transportation planning and vehicle routing. The Netherlands were canvassed more actively than West Germany, therefore the survey focuses on recent developments in transportation planning in the Netherlands.

Topics addressed are: the infrastructure for transportation planning, locationallocation case studies, algorithms for vehicle routing, and software packages for transportation planning.
