Vehicle routing under time-dependent travel times: The impact of congestion avoidance
Daily traffic congestions form major problems for businesses such as logistical service providers and distribution firms. They cause late arrivals at customers and additional hiring costs for the truck drivers. The additional costs of traffic congestions can be reduced by taking into account and avoid well-predictable traffic congestions within off-line vehicle route plans. In the literature, v...
متن کاملVehicle routing with stochastic time-dependent travel times
Assigning and scheduling vehicle routes in a stochastic timedependent environment is a crucial management problem. The assumption that in a real-life environment everything goes according to an a priori determined static schedule is unrealistic. Our methodology builds on earlier work in which the traffic congestion is captured based on queueing theory in an analytical way and applied to the V R...
متن کاملThe Special Application of Vehicle Routing Problem with Uncertainty Travel Times: Locomotive Routing Problem
This paper aims to study the locomotive routing problem (LRP) which is one of the most important problems in railroad scheduling in view of involving expensive assets and high cost of operating locomotives. This problem is assigning a fleet of locomotives to a network of trains to provide sufficient power to pull them from their origins to destinations by satisfying a rich set of operational con...
متن کاملThe Vehicle Routing Problem with Real-Time Travel Times
The paper considers a vehicle routing problem with time windows and real-time travel times. We assume the deployment of an information and communication system that is based on mobile technologies, which provides a real-time mobile connection between the dispatching centre and drivers, allows localising vehicles on road, and gives the online overview over traffic conditions. We explicitly incor...
متن کاملThe time-dependent vehicle routing problem with soft time windows and stochastic travel times
This paper studies a vehicle routing problem with time-dependent and stochastic travel times. In our problem setting, customers have soft time windows. A mathematical model is used in which both efficiency for service as well as reliability for customers are taken into account. Depending on whether service times are included or not, we consider two versions of this problem. Two metaheuristics a...
