The authors present an overview of continuous approximation models that have been developed for freight distribution problems. A taxonomy of six classes is used to differentiate the problems and a brief review of each paper is provided. This paper stresses important principles and key results from the continuous approximation models. This paper also seeks to highlight gaps in the literature and areas for future work.
