On the Reformulation of Vehicle Routing Problems and Scheduling Problems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
We can reformulate a vehicle routing problem (VRP) as an open shop scheduling problem (SSP) by representing visits as activities, vehicles as resources on the factory floor, and travel as set up costs between activities. In this paper we present two reformulations: from VRP to open shop, and the inverse, from SSP to VRP.

A unified tabu search algorithm for vehicle routing problems with soft time windows [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The different ways of allowing time window violations lead to different types of the vehicle routing problems with soft time windows (VRPSTW). In this paper, different types of VRPSTW are analysed.

Hybridizing large neighborhood search and exact methods for generalized vehicle routing problems with time windows

open access: yesEURO Journal on Transportation and Logistics, 2021
Delivery options are at the heart of the generalized vehicle routing problem with time windows (GVRPTW) allowing that customer requests are shipped to alternative delivery locations which can also have different time windows.

On the differential evolution for vehicle routing problem [PDF]

open access: yes2013 International Conference on Soft Computing and Pattern Recognition (SoCPaR), 2013
Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) is a well known NP-hard optimization problem with a number of real world applications and a variety of different versions. Due to its complexity, large instances of VRP are hard to solve using exact methods. Instead, various heuristic and meta-heuristic algorithms were used to find feasible VRP solutions.

Materials‐Driven Additive Manufacturing for Electrical Machines: Qualification‐Oriented Design Beyond Geometric Freedom

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This perspective reframes additive manufacturing for electrical machines as a qualification‐limited materials and architecture design problem. It links process–structure–property–performance relationships to magnetic, conducting, dielectric, and thermal property windows, highlighting where AM can enable segmented magnetic circuits, permanent magnet ...
