The periodic vehicle routing problem: a case study
This paper deals with a case study which is a variant of the Periodic Vehicle Routing Problem (PVRP). As in the traditional Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP), customer locations each with a certain daily demand are given, as well as a set of capacitated vehicles. In addition, the PVRP has a horizon, say T days, and there is a frequency for each customer stating how often within this T -day period t...

متن کاملA Vehicle Routing Problem for Modeling Home Healthcare: a Case Study
Compared to center-based hemodialysis (HD), peritoneal dialysis (PD) has many advantages among which cost effectiveness and comfort of patients are the most important ones. On the other hand the number of PD patients is so small and even decreasing worldwide due to difficulties of this mode of dialysis. Therefore to encourage dialysis patients to choose PD, health system must provide a proper s...
متن کاملClustering Search Applied to the Periodic Vehicle Routing Problem: a Case Study in Waste Collection
The class of vehicle routing problems (VRP) involves designing the optimal set of routes for fleets of vehicles for the purpose of serving a given set of customers. A variant of the VRP is the Periodic Vehicle Routing Problem (PVRP) that consists in generating a set of routes for each day with minimal global costs and respecting all constraints of the problem. This paper presents a model for th...
متن کاملA particle swarm optimization method for periodic vehicle routing problem with pickup and delivery in transportation
In this article, multiple-product PVRP with pickup and delivery that is used widely in goods distribution or other service companies, especially by railways, was introduced. A mathematical formulation was provided for this problem. Each product had a set of vehicles which could carry the product and pickup and delivery could simultaneously occur. To solve the problem, two meta-heuristic methods...
