A new efficient transformation of the generalized vehicle routing problem into the classical vehicle routing problem [PDF]

open access: yesYugoslav Journal of Operations Research, 2011
Classical combinatorial optimization problems can be generalized in a natural way by considering a related problem relative to a given partition of the nodes of the graph into node sets.

The Vehicle Routing Problem with Transhipment Facilities [PDF]

open access: yesTransportation Science, 2017
This paper proposes an exact method for solving an optimization problem arising in several distribution networks where customers can be served directly, using vehicle routes from a central depot, or through transhipment facilities. The problem consists of optimizing the following inter-dependent decisions: selecting transhipment facilities, allocating

A Cluster Based Scatter Search Heuristic for the Vehicle Routing Problem [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) is one of the most studied problems in the field of Operations Research. Closely related to the VRP is the Capacitated Clustering Problem (CCP).

A variable neighborhood-based heuristic for the heterogeneous fleet vehicle routing problem [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The heterogeneous fleet vehicle routing problem is investigated using some adaptations of the variable neighborhood search (VNS). The initial solution is obtained by Dijkstra's algorithm based on a cost network constructed by the sweep algorithm and the ...

Optimization of multi objective vehicle routing problem using a new hybrid algorithm based on particle swarm optimization and artificial bee colony algorithm considering Precedence constraints

open access: yesAlexandria Engineering Journal, 2018
The vehicle routing problem is the basic problem of distribution planning which seeks to find the best route with minimum displacement cost considering the number of customers, their constraints, and number and capacity of the available vehicles. In this

The Generalized Consistent Vehicle Routing Problem [PDF]

open access: yesTransportation Science, 2015
The consistent vehicle routing problem (ConVRP) takes customer satisfaction into account by assigning one driver to a customer and by bounding the variation in the arrival times over a given planning horizon. These requirements may be too restrictive in some applications.
