N2 - In this paper, we present an optimization model for a transportation planning problem with
multiple transportation modes, highly perishable products, demand and supply dynamics, and
management of the reusable transport units (RTIs). Such a problem arises in the European horticultural chain, for example. As a result of geographic dispersion of production and market, a
reliable transportation solutions ensures long-term success in the European market. The model is
an extension to the network
ow problem. We integrate dynamic allocation,
ow, and repositioning
of the RTIs in order to nd the trade-o between quality requirements and operational considerations
and costs. We also present detailed computational results and analysis.
