A formulation and a metaheuristic approach for the clustered vehicle routing problem with d‐relaxed priority rule

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper investigates an extension of the vehicle routing problem in which, in addition to minimizing the distance traveled, the sequencing of customer visits is subject to precedence constraints that impose visiting priorities among customers.

Freight distribution optimization by implementing the team orienteering problem with occasional drivers

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract This research evaluates the effectiveness of a hybrid crowdshipping system that integrates occasional drivers with traditional delivery services (OD+TD) to improve the efficiency of freight distribution. By implementing the team orienteering problem with occasional drivers model, we develop a mathematical model and an agile optimization ...

The impact of public drop‐off boxes and autonomous delivery robots in last‐mile delivery

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract The growing concern over emissions from last‐mile logistics is motivating the development of innovative delivery models aimed at reducing environmental impact and traffic congestion. To this end, we propose a last‐mile delivery scheme based on both public drop‐off boxes and autonomous delivery robots.

Exact and metaheuristic approaches to minimizing makespan in parallel machine scheduling with conflicting jobs

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract We address the scheduling conflicting jobs on parallel identical machines problem with makespan minimization, a classical and computationally challenging variant of parallel machine scheduling. We develop and evaluate three distinct solution methodologies: a novel constraint programming (CP) formulation, and two metaheuristics: a multi ...

Straddle carrier routing optimization at container terminals utilizing telemetry‐based prediction

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Efficient vehicle routing and scheduling for horizontal transport means on container terminals can reduce lead times and travel distances, resulting in fuel savings and productivity gains. We apply machine learning to emulate operational processes, bridging the gap between theoretical optimization models and real‐world practices at container ...
