Latency-Aware Bid Acceptance under Operational Feasibility: A Public Benchmark with Hindsight Ceilings

arXiv:2607.07343v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Online truckload bid acceptance is a closed-loop stochastic decision problem in which a carrier or broker must, in real time, accept or reject a tendered load subject to operational feasibility, fleet repositioning costs, and opportunity cost against future demand. Public, reproducible benchmarks for this problem are scarce: existing routing benchmarks are static, while dynamic-fleet studies typically rely on private operator data. We introduce FreightBidBench, a public-calibrated, dependency-free, closed-loop benchmark in which feasibility (pick
The proliferation of AI in logistics necessitates more sophisticated and publicly available benchmarks for real-time decision-making, which this benchmark addresses.
This benchmark provides a standardized, reproducible platform for developing and evaluating AI agents in complex logistics, improving efficiency and operational intelligence in a critical sector.
The availability of FreightBidBench will standardize research and development in online truckload bid acceptance, allowing for clearer comparisons and faster progress in AI-driven logistics optimization.
