In the present paper the issue of horizontal cooperation in a road transportation network is tackled. Different road trips belonging to a set of carriers that form a coalition are shared, with the final goal of maximizing the carriers' profit.

Horizontal cooperation among truck carriers is the framework considered in the present paper. More specifically, the goal of this paper is to properly distribute the profits related to a set of carriers collaborating together for merging multiple trips. First, a mathematical model is set to maximize the total profit of the coalition of carriers. The solution of the resulting optimization problem provides...
