A study on stability of delivery within army logistics network considering link property for contingency

Abstract

There have been many study on the army logistics network. But most of existing study have not been considered contingency situations from enemy during the wartime. It is important to take account of operational factors such as threats of enemy into military logistic plan by using realistic geographic information. The study analyzes and finds reliable and optimizing delivery plan within the army logistics networks base on vehicle routing problem. In other words, the study makes alternative route plans considering link property with real geographic information, and it tries to find more reliable delivery routes among several optimal routes of various contingency environments while more focusing on better stability from any threats and possible contingency situation.
