Assigning and scheduling vehicle routes in a stochastic time-dependent environment is a crucial management problem. The assumption that in a real-life environment everything goes according to an a priori determined static schedule is unrealistic. Our methodology builds on earlier work …
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, …
The Time Dependent Vehicle Routing Problem (TDVRP) consists in optimally routing a fleet of vehicles of fixed capacity when travel times are time dependent, in the sense that the time employed to traverse each given arc, depends on the time …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
