The vehicle routing problem: State of the art classification and review
نویسندگان
چکیده
Over the past decades, the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) and its variants have grown ever more popular in the academic literature. Yet, the problem characteristics and assumptions vary widely and few literature reviews have made an effort to classify the existing articles accordingly. In this article, we present a taxonomic review of the VRP literature published between 2009 and 2013. Based on an adapted version of the comprehensive taxonomy suggested by Eksioglu et al. (2009), we classify 144 articles and analyze the trends in the VRP literature. This classification is the first to categorize the articles to this level of detail.

A Combined Metaheuristic Algorithm for the Vehicle Routing Problem and its Open Version
Abstract: The Open Vehicle Routing Problem (OVRP) is one of the most important extensions of the vehicle routing problem (VRP) that has many applications in industrial and service. In the VRP, a set of customers with a specified demand of goods are given and a depot where a fleet of identical capacitated vehicles is located. We are also given the ‘‘traveling costs’’ between the depot and all th...
متن کاملProposing a Constrained-GSA for the Vehicle Routing Problem
In the past decades, vehicle routing problem (VRP) has gained considerable attention for its applications in industry, military, and transportation applications. Vehicle routing problem with simultaneous pickup and delivery is an extension of the VRP. This problem is an NP-hard problem; hence finding the best solution for this problem which is using exact method, take inappropriate time, and th...
متن کاملModeling the Time Windows Vehicle Routing Problem in Cross-Docking Strategy Using Two Meta-Heuristic Algorithms
In cross docking strategy, arrived products are immediately classified, sorted and organized with respect to their destination. Among all the problems related to this strategy, the vehicle routing problem (VRP) is very important and of special attention in modern technology. This paper addresses the particular type of VRP, called VRPCDTW, considering a time limitation for each customer/retai...
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...
متن کاملA HYBRID ALGORITHM FOR THE OPEN VEHICLE ROUTING PROBLEM
The open vehicle routing problem (OVRP) is a variance of the vehicle routing problem (VRP) that has a unique character which is its open path form. This means that the vehicles are not required to return to the depot after completing service. Because this problem belongs to the NP-hard problems, many metaheuristic approaches like the ant colony optimization (ACO) have been used to solve OVRP in...
متن کاملDynamic Vehicle Routing Problems: State Of The Art and Prospects
This scientific report summarizes the results of a literature review on dynamic vehicle routing problems. After a brief description of vehicle routing problems in general, a classification is introduced to distinguish between static and dynamic problems. Then a more precise definition of dynamism is presented, supported by example of real-world applications of such problems. Finally, a detailed...
