Nested Column Generation Applied to the Crude Oil Tanker Routing and Scheduling Problem with Split Pickup and Split Delivery
The split pickup split delivery crude oil tanker routing and scheduling problem is a difficult combinatorial optimization problem, both theoretically and practically. However, because of the large expenses in crude oil shipping it is attractive to make use of optimization that exploits as many degrees of freedom as possible to save transportation cost. We propose a nested column generation algo...
متن کاملAn Evolutionary Approach for the Split Pickup and Delivery Problem
The split pickup and delivery problem is to find the shortest route that can provide delivery nodes with commodities collected from pickup nodes, subject to the vehicle load constraint. In particular, the split feature allows multiple visits to nodes and thus enables the vehicle to load or discharge an arbitrary portion of commodities along the route. This problem concerns the practical situati...
متن کاملThe Pickup and Delivery Problem with Split Loads
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS While working on my Ph.D. at Georgia Tech and Michigan, I have received a great deal of support from many different people. My degree would not have been possible without this support. I would like to begin by thanking my two dissertation advisors, Dr. Ozlem Ergun and Dr. Chip White. Their guidance and encouragement was constant and unwavering. They helped open the door for me ...
متن کاملPickup and Delivery with Split Loads
Splitting loads such that the delivery of certain loads is completed in multiple trips rather than one trip results in opportunities for a reduction in cost and the number of vehicles used. Several studies have shown the benefit of split deliveries for the Vehicle Routing Problem, in which a vehicle operating out of a depot makes a series of deliveries on each route. In this paper, we quantify ...
متن کاملShip Routing with Pickup and Delivery for a Maritime Oil Transportation System: MIP Model and Heuristics
This paper examines a ship routing problem with pickup and delivery and time windows for maritime oil transportation, motivated by the production and logistics activities of an oil company operating in the Brazilian coast. The transportation costs from offshore platforms to coastal terminals are an important issue in the search for operational excellence in the oil industry, involving operation...
