Abstract In this paper, we address the problem of routing a fleet of electric vehicles (EVs) to serve a set of customers, geographically distributed, within their time windows. We assume that EVs may also be recharged en route, and the amount of energy recharged at a recharging station (RS) is a decision variable itself, that is, partial recharges are ...

Optimization of Soft Actuator Geometry and Material Modeling Using Metaheuristic Algorithms
The geometry of soft actuators significantly impacts their performance, including force generation, range of motion, and adaptability. Optimizing actuator geometry and material properties under specific constraints is crucial for achieving desired ...

An iterated greedy‐based metaheuristic with local search for the rank pricing problem
Abstract The rank pricing problem involves determining optimal prices for a set of products while accounting for customers' budgets and preferences. This study develops an iterated greedy‐based metaheuristic to efficiently solve this problem. The core idea is to generate a sequence of solutions by iteratively applying destruction and reconstruction ...

Integrated location–inventory planning for slow‐moving demands with waiting time limitations
Abstract This paper studies a stochastic facility location problem integrated with inventory and transportation decisions (SFLPIT) for supply chains with slow‐moving stock‐keeping units (SKUs). Local stores often avoid maintaining such SKUs, resulting in customer demand being fulfilled directly by a central distribution center (DC), where the ...

A matheuristic for the traveling salesman problem with positional consistency constraints
Abstract We propose a matheuristic for the traveling salesman problem with positional consistency constraints, where we seek to generate a set of routes with minimum total cost, in which the nodes visited in more than one route (consistent nodes) must occupy the same relative position in all routes.

A unified formulation for home healthcare routing and scheduling problems
Abstract Home Healthcare is an essential component of healthcare systems, where caregivers visit patients' homes to deliver services. While presenting advantages with respect to institutional care, such as being cost‐effective and alleviating family burdens, it presents challenges in scheduling and routing caregivers efficiently.

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.

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 ...
