Researchers have developed a new framework that uses a large language model (LLM) to improve capacity planning in transportation hubs. This LLM agent integrates qualitative business context, provided in natural language, with traditional quantitative optimization models. By employing a chain-of-thought reasoning process, the LLM translates textual business descriptions into specific capacity adjustments, which are then refined through a feedback loop with an optimization model. This approach demonstrated a significant improvement in optimality gap on a real-world freight network, highlighting the potential of LLMs to bridge qualitative business insights with operations research workflows.
