Driver‐Centric Vehicle Routing for Parcel Delivery

open access: yesJournal of Business Logistics, Volume 47, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT One issue parcel delivery drivers are facing in their workplace is the limited access to restrooms. Because drivers are constantly pressured to meet the demanding performance standards called work quotas, they have little time to visit restrooms while working, often forcing them to urinate into bottles in the back of their trucks.

Production routing decisions in a two‐echelon supply chain with multiple delivery modes

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 33, Issue 5, Page 3385-3421, September 2026.
Abstract We study an original two‐echelon production routing problem with multiple delivery modes (2E‐PRP‐MDM). In the first echelon, the primary production facility is tasked with satisfying the demands of two distinct entities: a set of warehouses and a set of customers through direct shipments. In the second echelon, warehouses become delivery hubs,

On random symmetric travelling salesman problems [PDF]

open access: yesThe 43rd Annual IEEE Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science, 2002. Proceedings., 2003
Let the edges of the complete graph Kn be assigned independent uniform [0, 1] random edge weights. Let ZTSP and Z2FAC be the weights of the minimum length travelling salesman tour and minimum weight 2-factor, respectively. We show that whp |ZTSP − Z2FAC| = o(1).
