Optimization of driver work schedule to perform a specified volume of intercity freight transportation
The article is devoted to the global problem of driver shortages in road freight transportation. One promising way to mitigate this labour shortage is to enhance the logistics of order fulfilment for the fleet of trucks and the drivers who operate them. This study proposes to discard all restrictions on the organization of work for drivers, except those established by European Union Regulation 561/2006, which affect fatigue and road safety. The object of the study is the work schedule of drivers while performing a given volume of intercity cargo transportation.
