About the Competition


Artificial Intelligence Based Linehaul Optimisation Competition  is a technology competition organized within the scope of TEKNOFEST in collaboration with Hepsiburada. The aim of the competition is to encourage the development of innovative solutions that combine machine learning and mathematical optimization methods to increase the efficiency of linehaul transportation in logistics networks. Participants are expected to develop models that predict daily cargo demand and use these predictions to design algorithms that create the most cost-effective and efficient transportation plan between a fixed fleet of leased vehicles and a pool of spot vehicles.
