Abstract
A system including a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable media storing computing instructions that, when executed on the processor, cause the processor to perform certain operations: splitting a set of candidate loads into subsets of candidate loads, wherein time windows of the subsets of candidate loads align with time ranges of a facility; iteratively reducing, without integer constraints, the subsets of candidate loads into a number of candidate loads; determining multiple candidate loads from the number of candidate loads that optimize an objective function with the integer constraints; and selecting at least one candidate load from the multiple candidate loads corresponding to a mode of transportation. Other embodiments are described.
