© 2023 Elsevier B.V.We consider a new combined truck–drone routing problem with time windows in the context of last-mile logistics. A fleet of trucks, each equipped with an identical drone, is scheduled to provide both pickup and delivery services to …
© 2023In real-world routing applications such as waste collection or fuel distribution, multiple products that cannot be mixed should be jointly collected or delivered. Multi-compartment vehicles are applied with great flexibility in routing and assignment decisions for these real-world applications. …
Abstract As a major real‐world problem, snow plowing has been studied extensively. However, most studies focus on deterministic settings with little urgency yet enough time to plan. In contrast, we assume a severe snowstorm with little known data and little …
© 2023 Elsevier B.V.The adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) within last-mile deliveries is considered one of the key transformations towards more sustainable logistics. The inclusion of EVs introduces new operational constraints to the models such as a restricted driving range …
© 2023 Elsevier LtdThe design of synchronized services is of great significance to the development of intermodal transportation. In the planning of Air and High-Speed Railway (HSR) integration services (AHIS), the operators aim to synchronize flight and train schedules and …
© 2024Blood plays a critical role in humanitarian logistics, and it is essential to create an appropriate blood type supply chain (BTSC) network to manage the supply and demand of blood components efficiently, especially during crises. This paper formulates a …
© 2013 IEEE.The time-dependent green vehicle routing problem with time windows is a further deepening of the research on vehicle routing problems with time windows. Its simultaneous consideration of vehicle transportation time, carbon emissions, and customer satisfaction under time-dependent variables …
© 2013 IEEE.This article introduces, models, and solves the time-dependent in-building delivery problem in last-mile logistics. It determines efficient travel sequences for a worker (e.g., delivery person, deliveryman, mailman, agent) who delivers goods or provides services directly to customers located …
© 2023 Elsevier LtdAs an emerging and sustainable technology, electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming increasingly popular in the transportation system. However, they still have limitations in terms of energy capacity and high consumption. By implementing flexible scheduling for EV routings, …
© 2023 The Author(s)Fisheries face challenges in improving efficiency and reducing their emission footprint and operating costs. Decision support systems offer an opportunity to tackle such challenges. This study focuses on the dynamic fishing routing problem (DFRP) of a tuna …
