The Vehicle Scheduling Problem for Fleets with Alternative-Fuel Vehicles

Transportation Science, 2017
Alternative-fuel vehicles are gaining popularity as a mode of transit, and research is being done into how current infrastructure can accommodate them. The problem of vehicle scheduling consists of assigning a fleet of vehicles to service a given set of trips with start and end times.

Scheduling Promotion Vehicles to Boost Pro fits

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2015
In addition to setting price discounts, retailers need to decide how to schedule promotion vehicles, such as flyers and TV commercials. Unlike the promotion pricing problem that received great attention from both academics and practitioners, the promotion vehicle scheduling problem was largely overlooked, and our goal is to study this problem both ...

Joint Vehicle and Crew Routing and Scheduling

Transportation Science, 2015
Traditional vehicle routing problems implicitly assume that only one crew operates a vehicle for the entirety of its journey. However, this assumption is violated in many applications arising in humanitarian and military logistics. This paper considers a joint vehicle and crew routing and scheduling problem in which crews are able to interchange ...

Vehicle Platoon Control with Communication Scheduling

2018 IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium (IV), 2018
This paper investigates vehicle platoon control problem in vehicular ad hoc networks with seriously limited communication capacity. By introducing binary sequences as the basis of network access scheduling, the vehicle platoon system is modeled as a discrete-time switching system. Then, based on the new system model, a framework for stability analysis,

Driver scheduling based on “driver-friendly” vehicle schedules

2012
In the area of optimization of public transportation there are several methods for modeling and solving vehicle and driver scheduling problems.We designed a sequential heuristic method for solving the combined (vehicle and driver scheduling) problem.

The grocery superstore vehicle scheduling problem

Journal of the Operational Research Society, 2005
Scheduling the deliveries from a regional distribution centre (RDC) to large stores of a major retailer of fast moving consumer goods includes every possible vehicle routeing complexity. Usual constraints, like the size of the vehicle and the length of the driving day, apply.

Vehicle Scheduling Revisited

Journal of the Operational Research Society, 1984
Several published results for vehicle scheduling algorithms are based on rounded inter-customer distances. This gives overall distances which vary somewhat from actual distances (presented here), and there appears to be a downward bias. Care should be taken in comparing results based on rounded inter-customer distances with those based on real ...
