Generating Feasible Schedules for a Pick-Up and Delivery Problem

The supply-chain pick-up and delivery problem with transshipments

Abstract In this work, a strict MILP formulation for the supply-chain pick-up and delivery problem with transshipments is presented (SC-PDP-T). This problem adds the option for transferring goods from one vehicle to another. This additional flexibility is very attractive for the optimal management of supply chains. Based on the novel features of the SC-PDP-T, this work addresses the major model...

Multimodal Transportation p-hub Location Routing Problem with Simultaneous Pick-ups and Deliveries

Centralizing and using proper transportation facilities cut down costs and traffic. Hub facilities concentrate on flows to cause economic advantage of scale and multimodal transportation helps use the advantage of another transporter. A distinctive feature of this paper is proposing a new mathematical formulation for a three-stage p-hub location routing problem with simultaneous pick-ups and de...

Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows and Simultaneous Delivery and Pick-Up Service Based on MCPSO

This paper considers two additional factors of the widely researched vehicle routing problem with time windows VRPTW . The two factors, which are very common characteristics in realworld, are uncertain number of vehicles and simultaneous delivery and pick-up service. Using minimization of the total transport costs as the objective of the extension VRPTW, a mathematic model is constructed. To so...

An Extended Compact Genetic Algorithm for Milk Run Problem with Time Windows and Inventory Uncertainty

In this paper, we introduce a model  to optimization of milk run system that is one of VRP problem with time window and uncertainty in inventory. This approach led to the routes with minimum cost of transportation while satisfying all inventory in a given bounded set of uncertainty .The problem is formulated as a robust optimization problem. Since the resulted problem illustrates that grows up ...
