Description: Quasi-optimal strategies for multimodal systems refer to approaches that seek nearly ideal solutions in the management and optimization of systems that integrate multiple modes of transport or communication. These multimodal systems are complex, as they involve the interaction of different modes, such as land, air, and maritime transport, or the combination of different communication technologies. Quasi-optimal strategies are crucial because, in many cases, finding an optimal solution can be computationally expensive or even unfeasible due to the complexity of the system. Therefore, these strategies focus on developing methods that, while not perfect, provide sufficiently good results in a reasonable time. These strategies may include heuristic algorithms, combinatorial optimization techniques, and simulation-based approaches. The relevance of these strategies lies in their ability to improve operational efficiency, reduce costs, and optimize resources in environments where variability and uncertainty are common. In summary, quasi-optimal strategies are valuable tools for decision-making in diverse multimodal systems, allowing managers to effectively and efficiently address complex problems.
