Participants are expected to develop models that forecast daily shipment demand and design algorithms that generate the most cost-efficient transportation plans by optimally allocating resources between a fixed leased vehicle fleet and a spot vehicle pool. By working directly on real-life logistics challenges, teams will have the opportunity to deliver innovative and practical solutions.
The competition is open to teams consisting of a minimum of two and a maximum of four members. Advisors are not included in the team size. Associate, undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral students are eligible to apply. Graduates may also participate, provided that no more than one academic year has passed since their graduation.
Top-ranking teams will be awarded significant prizes: 150,000 TL for first place, 120,000 TL for second place, and 100,000 TL for third place. In addition, participants will have the opportunity to connect with industry professionals, further develop their projects, and take a strong step forward in their careers.
Applications for the competition will be accepted until March 31. For young talents aiming to develop the logistics solutions of the future, this is an unmissable opportunity that brings together career development and technological innovation.
