Operations Management in Transportation Networks
Jacques Desrosiers
This paper presents an overview of the column generation method developed at the GERAD research center in Montr\'eal for solving large scale vehicle routing and crew scheduling problems. It provides a bit of history on the GENCOL team, the fundamental structure shared by all these problems, the decomposition method used, and applications in some large transportation networks, e.g., urban, air, and rail transportation systems.
