Green Vehicle Routing Problem: State of the Art and Future Directions

Green vehicle routing problem (GVRP) aims to consider greenhouse gas emissions reduction, while the vehicles. It can be either through adopting Alternative Fuel Vehicles (AFVs) or with existing conventional fossil fuel vehicles in fleets. GVRP also takes into account environmental sustainability transportation and logistics. We critically review several variations specializations of address issues related charging, pickup, delivery, energy consumption. Starting concepts definitions GVRP, we summarize key elements contributors publications. Afterward, regarding each category green are reviewed, based on which future research directions challenges suggested. was observed that main focus previous publications is operational level decision not supply chain issues. The majority used metaheuristic methods, overlooking emerging machine learning methods. envision addition learning, reinforcement distributed systems, internet (IoV), new technologies have a strong role developing further.
