Application of the multi-objective cross-entropy method to the vehicle routing problem with soft time windows
The vehicle routing problem with time windows is a widely studied problem with many realworld applications. The problem considered here entails the construction of routes that a number of identical vehicles travel to service different nodes within a certain time window. New benchmark problems with multi-objective features were recently suggested in the literature and the multi-objective optimis...
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 کاملA Multi-Objective Imperialist Competitive Algorithm for Vehicle Routing Problem in Cross-docking Networks with Time Windows
This study addresses the pickup and delivery problem for cross-docking strategy, in which shipments are allowed to be transferred from suppliers to retailers directly as well as through cross-docks. Usual models that investigate vehicle routing in cross-docking networks force all vehicles to stop at the cross-dock even if a shipment is about to a full truckload or the vehicle collects and deliv...
متن کاملMulti-objective Optimization of Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows
Products distribution is a process on which products are moved from sources to customers. According to Toth and Vigo [1], transportation costs typically represent 10-20% of the final price of goods on the market. Over the past 20 years, Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) was especially solved through the use of meta-heuristics, see Jozefowiez et al. [2], Vidal et al. [3]. Eksioglu et al. [4] made a ...
متن کاملAcceleration of Lagrangian Method for the Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows
The analytic center cutting plane method (ACCPM) is one of successful methods to solve nondifferentiable optimization problems. In this paper ACCPM is used for the first time in the vehicle routing problem with time windows (VRPTW) to accelerate lagrangian relaxation procedure for the problem. At first the basic cutting plane algorithm and its relationship with column generation method is clari...
