Models, relaxations and exact approaches for the capacitated vehicle routing problem
In this paper we review the exact algorithms based on the branch and bound approach proposed in the last years for the solution of the basic version of the vehicle routing problem (VRP), where only the vehicle capacity constraints are considered. These algorithms have considerably increased the size of VRPs that can be solved with respect to earlier approaches. Moreover, at least for the case i...
متن کاملA novel heuristic algorithm for capacitated vehicle routing problem
The vehicle routing problem with the capacity constraints was considered in this paper. It is quite difficult to achieve an optimal solution with traditional optimization methods by reason of the high computational complexity for large-scale problems. Consequently, new heuristic or metaheuristic approaches have been developed to solve this problem. In this paper, we constructed a new heuristic ...
متن کاملCAPACITATED VEHICLE ROUTING PROBLEM WITH VEHICLES HIRE OR PURCHASE DECISION: MODELING AND SOLUTION APPROACHES
The overall cost of companies dealing with the distribution tasks is considerably affected by the way that distributing vehicles are procured. In this paper, a more practical version of capacitated vehicle routing problem (CVRP) in which the decision of purchase or hire of vehicles is simultaneously considered is investigated. In CVRP model capacitated vehicles start from a single depot simulta...
متن کاملAn Imperialist Competitive Algorithm and a Mixed Integer Programming Formulation for the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem
The Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP), a famous problem of operation research, holds a central place in combinatorial optimization problems. In this problem, a fleet vehicles with Q capacity start to move from depot and return after servicing to customers in which visit only ones each customer and load more than its capacity not at all. The objective is to minimize the number of used vehicles and t...
متن کاملVehicle Routing Problem: Meta-heuristic Approaches
The purpose of this article is to review the literature on the topic of deterministic vehicle routing problem (VRP) and to give a review on the exact and approximate solution techniques. More specifically the approximate (meta-heuristic) solution techniques are classified into: tabu search, simulated annealing, genetic algorithm, evolutionary algorithm, hybrid algorithm, and Ant Colony Opti...
