Competitive Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows and Stochastic Demands
The competitive vehicle routing problem is one of the important issues in transportation area. In this paper a new method for competitive VRP with time windows and stochastic demand is introduced. In the presented method a three time bounds are given and the probability of arrival time between each time bound is assumed to be uniform. The demands of each customer are different in each time wind...
متن کاملA Vehicle Routing Problem with Flexible Time Windows
In this paper, we introduce the Vehicle Routing Problem with Flexible Time Windows (VRPFlexTW), in which vehicles are allowed to deviate from customer time windows by a given tolerance. This flexibility enables savings in the operational costs of carriers, since customers may be served before and after the earliest and latest time window bounds, respectively. However, as time window deviations ...
متن کاملA goal programming model for vehicle routing problem with backhauls and soft time windows
The vehicle routing problem with backhauls (VRPB) as an extension of the classical vehicle routing prob-lem (VRP) attempts to define a set of routes which services both linehaul customers whom product are to be delivered and backhaul customers whom goods need to be collected. A primary objective for the problem usually is minimizing the total distribution cost. Most real-life problems have othe...
متن کاملA multi-criteria vehicle routing problem with soft time windows by simulated annealing
This paper presents a multi-criteria vehicle routing problem with soft time windows (VRPSTW) to mini-mize fleet cost, routes cost, and violation of soft time windows penalty. In this case, the fleet is heterogene-ous. The VRPSTW consists of a number of constraints in which vehicles are allowed to serve customers out of the desirable time window by a penalty. It is assumed that this relaxation a...
متن کاملVehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows
The topic of this paper is a Genetic Algorithm solution to the Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows, a variant of one of the most common problems in contemporary operations research. The paper will introduce the problem starting with more general Traveling Salesman and Vehicle Routing problems and present some of the prevailing strategies for solving them, focusing on Genetic Algorithms. A...
