On the Vehicle Routing Problem with lower bound capacities
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we show and discuss a family of inequalities for solving a variant of the classical vehicle routing problem where also a lower bound is considered. The inequalities are related to the projected inequalities from a single commodity flow formulation. Other inequalities are based on rounding procedures. We also show computational experiments proving the utility of the new inequalities.

متن کاملCompetitive Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows and Stochastic Demands
The competitive vehicle routing problem is one of the important issues in transportation area. In this paper a new method for competitive VRP with time windows and stochastic demand is introduced. In the presented method a three time bounds are given and the probability of arrival time between each time bound is assumed to be uniform. The demands of each customer are different in each time wind...
