ROUTE 2007, a biennial international workshop on vehicle routing and transportation, took place on May 13-16 at Jekyll Island, Georgia. The purpose of the workshop was to provide a forum for scientific exchange and cooperation in the fields of vehicle routing, intermodal transportation and related areas. The Stewart School's Supply Chain and Logistics Institute (SCL) supported this year's program.

"This year's workshop was a great success because it was attended by most of the leading academic researchers in the area of transportation," said Conference Chairperson Dr. Martin Savelsbergh. Attendees included close to forty experts representing universities from across the globe.

This year's presentations are available online at http://www2.isye.gatech.edu/route2007/presentations/. Previous editions of ROUTE have been hosted by the Technical University of Denmark (2000, 2003) and the University of Bologna (2005). The next ROUTE workshop is scheduled to take place in Copenhagen, Denmark in 2009.
