ClearDestination is an innovative and successful Montreal-based Canadian SME providing end-to-end delivery management solutions. The company decided to expand its activities to the interurban market through a technology-based business and operational model, which expands the emerging concepts of integration and sharing aiming for benefits for all concerned, and requires advanced data-based decision-support methods. Building the science and prototypes of these methods is the goal of this project, which brings together specialists in operations research and analytics, transportation and logistics science, and information technology. We focus on the design, planning and management of the system and the associated methodological challenges. We will pursue three related objectives: 1) Develop the required cutting-edge models, methods, prototypes; 2) Disseminate scientific results and embed them into advanced decision-support platform for transfer to the partner; 3) Train HQP for academia and practice. The result is, to the best of our knowledge, one of the most comprehensive collaborative research projects applied to transportation planning in Canada and elsewhere; it is structured into three strongly interconnected facets: Optimized System Operation; Business Models & Smart Planning, and Data-driven Optimization & Decision Making. The novel science and technologies that will be developed will enable the company to gain an important competitive advantage, offering new solutions for improved management of freight transportation, and will drive its growth in the coming years. The project will provide the needed data-driven operational and tactical optimization, forecasting, revenue management, traceability and machine-learning capabilities. The project will also make significant contributions to the training of highly-qualified personnel and to scientific knowledge and transportation-science applications.

ClearDestination是一家创新和成功的加拿大中小型企业，提供端到端的交付管理解决方案。该公司决定通过基于技术的业务和运营模式将其活动扩展到城市间市场，该模式扩展了旨在为所有相关方带来利益的新兴整合和共享概念，并需要先进的基于数据的决策支持方法。建立这些方法的科学和原型是该项目的目标，该项目汇集了运筹学和分析，运输和物流科学以及信息技术方面的专家。我们专注于系统的设计，规划和管理以及相关的方法挑战。我们将追求三个相关的目标：1）开发所需的尖端模型，方法，原型; 2）传播科学成果，并将其嵌入到先进的决策支持平台中，以转移给合作伙伴; 3）为学术和实践培训HQP。据我们所知，其结果是加拿大和其他地方应用于交通规划的最全面的合作研究项目之一;它分为三个相互关联的方面：优化系统运营;商业模式和智能规划，以及数据驱动的优化和决策。将开发的新科学和技术将使公司获得重要的竞争优势，为改善货运管理提供新的解决方案，并将推动其在未来几年的增长。该项目将提供所需的数据驱动的业务和战术优化、预测、收入管理、可追溯性和机器学习能力。该项目还将对高素质人员的培训以及科学知识和运输科学应用作出重大贡献。
