Odhady distribučných nákladov

Abstract

The paper deals with the problem of distribution cost estimation, which arises when daily demand of customer in a distribution system is less than vehicle capacity. Then, demands of the customers, which are assigned to a given warehouse, are satisfied by more complex routes of vehicles and the associated distribution costs are difficult to estimate. Within this contribution, some conditions on network are studied, under which it is easy to find a good estimation of the distribution costs. The conditions involve only few network parameters as average and standard deviation of edge length and average and standard deviation of node degree. More, linear estimation cost functions are formed here for the networks, which satisfy the constructed conditions.
