Dynamic vehicle routing problems: Three decades and counting (2016, background): “The reader is referred to Crainic et al. (2009) that (a) present an assessment of ITS achievements as regards freight, (b) illustrate the convergence of freight ITS and e-business technologies by focusing on electronic auctions, and (c) discuss how the introduction of better decision-support…”
