在这篇综述论文中，我们对过去30年来关于汽车制造商向经销商分销成品车的优化研究进行了评论，并提出了有希望的前瞻性研究，以最大限度地缩小工业实践与学术研究之间的差距。首先，我们确定了参与汽车分销的主要决策者，总结了服务模式，并简要描述了运输方式的汽车运输实践。在业务层面定义汽车运输优化问题后，我们提出了汽车配送问题分类法，通过对现有研究的决策水平，运输方式和优化决策类型进行分类。每个子类别的研究进行了详细审查，通过比较的目标函数，约束条件，配方，解决方案的算法，和测试实例。最后，我们总结了主要的审查结果，并提出了潜在的研究方向。这项调查将刺激感兴趣的运输研究人员进行进一步的研究，以跟上汽车运输实践的快速发展。
In this survey paper, we critique the optimization studies on the distribution of finished vehicles from automobile manufacturers to dealers in the past three decades and propose promising prospective research to minimize the gap between industrial practice and academic research. First, we identify major decision makers involved in automobile distribution, summarize service models, and briefly describe the automobile shipping practice by transportation mode. After defining the automobile shipping optimization problem at the operational level, we present the automobile distribution problem taxonomy by classifying existing studies by the level of decision making, mode of transportation, and type of optimization decisions. Each subcategory of studies is reviewed in detail through comparisons by objective function, constraints, formulation, solution algorithm, and test instances. We conclude this survey paper by summarizing major review outcomes and proposing potential research directions. This survey will stimulate interested transportation researchers to conduct further research to keep pace with the rapid evolution of the automobile shipping practice.
