A matheuristic approach for the Pollution-Routing Problem

open access: yes, 2014
This paper deals with the Pollution-Routing Problem (PRP), a Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) with environmental considerations, recently introduced in the literature by [Bektas and Laporte (2011), Transport. Res. B-Meth. 45 (8), 1232-1250].

A vehicle routing model with split delivery and stop nodes [PDF]

open access: yes
In this work, a new variant of the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (CVRP) is presented where the vehicles cannot perform any route leg longer than a given length L (although the routes can be longer).

Approximation algorithms for a vehicle routing problem

open access: yesMathematical Methods of Operations Research, 2008
In this paper we investigate a vehicle routing problem motivated by a real-world application in cooperation with the german automobile association (adac). The general task is to assign service requests to service units and to plan tours for the units such as to minimize the overall cost.

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.

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

Optimal multi-depot location decision using particle swarm optimization

open access: yesAdvances in Mechanical Engineering, 2017
The depot locations have a significant effect on the transportation cost in the multi-depot vehicle routing problem. A two-tier particle swarm optimization framework is proposed, in which an external particle swarm optimization and an internal particle ...
