We review the main ideas behind the concept of ‘agile optimization’ (AO), and provide several examples of applications in the area of transportation and logistics (T&L). AO represent a novel paradigm that follows the following principles: (i) real-time execution; (ii) easy to implement and run using parallelization techniques; (iii) flexibility to deal with different problems and variants; (iv) parameter-less; and (v) specifically designed to run iteratively every few seconds or minutes as new streams of data arrive in a dynamic and connected environment. AO represents a breakthrough with respect to traditional optimization, simulation, and machine learning methods, which typically require long computation times –and, therefore, cannot efficiently deal with T&L scenarios using unmanned and self-driving vehicles and characterized by their dynamism and uncertainty. AO is based on the hybridization of biased-randomized heuristics and parallel computing.
