In this paper, we present an overview over existing speed-up techniques for time-dependent route planning. Apart from only explaining each technique one by one, we follow a more systematic approach. We identify basic ingredients of these recent techniques and show …
The Multi-Depot Vehicle Routing Problem with time-dependent and fuzzy travel time is very difficult to solve to optimality even for relatively small size instances. So few or no literatures have focused on the problem so far. But it is very …
We investigate the impact of two strategies for dynamic pickup and delivery problems on the quality of solutions produced by insertion heuristics: (a) a waiting strategy that delays the final assignment of vehicles to their next destination, and (b) a …
The itinerary planning problem in an urban public transport system constitutes a common routing and scheduling decision faced by travelers. The objective of this paper is to present a new formulation and an algorithm for solving the itinerary planning problem, …
We consider a shortest path problem, where the travel times on the arcs may vary with time and waiting at any node is allowed. Simple adaptations of the Dijkstra algorithm may fail to solve the problem, when discontinuities exist. We …
In this paper we deal with an extended version of the Asymmetric Traveling Salesman Problem with Time Windows (ATSPTW) that considers time-dependent travel times and costs, for a more accurate approximation of some routing problems inside large cities, in which …
In this paper, we consider scheduling problems on a single machine in a sequence dependent setup environment. For these problems, we introduce several integer programming formulations of varying size and strength. Computational experiments conducted on instances of 1 | si …
We generalize the standard vehicle routing problem with time windows by allowing both traveling times and traveling costs to be time-dependent functions. In our algorithm, we use a local search to determine routes of the vehicles. When we evaluate a …
Transportation is an important component of supply chain competitiveness since it plays a major role in the inbound, inter-facility, and outbound logistics. In this context, assigning and scheduling vehicle routes is a crucial management problem. In this paper, a vehicle …
An algorithm for the distribution of fresh vegetables in which the perishability represents a critical factor was developed. This particular problem was formulated as a vehicle routing problem with time windows and time-dependent travel-times (VRPTWTD) where the travel-times between two …
