Integrated Vehicle Routing and Crew Scheduling (IVRCS) in Waste Management Part II
نویسندگان
چکیده
Waste management involves an efficient planing of collectionvehicles and corresponding crews. We present an optimization model and algorithm for the crew scheduling problem which is the second part of an integrative solution approach. We differentiate between a network based duty generation phase and a duty optimization phase where an optimal set of annual duties for all employees is selected.

Integrated Vehicle Routing and Crew Scheduling (IVRCS) in Waste Management
Planning Waste Management involves the two major resources collection-vehicles and crews. The overall goal of our on-going project with two waste management companies is an integrative approach for planning the routes and the crews of the vehicles. Here we focus on the route generation as modeled in the first two phases of our three-phase optimization approach. We introduce relevant practical r...
متن کاملMULTI-OBJECTIVE ROUTING AND SCHEDULING IN FLEXIBLE MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS UNDER UNCERTAINTY
The efficiency of transportation system management plays an important role in the planning and operation efficiency of flexible manufacturing systems. Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV) are part of diversified and advanced techniques in the field of material transportation which have many applications today and act as an intermediary between operating and storage equipment and are routed and contr...
متن کاملSupply Chain Scheduling Using a Transportation System Composed of Vehicle Routing Problem and Cross-Docking Approaches
This study considers a combination of cross-docking and vehicle routing problem (VRP) approachesto transport raw material and parts in a supply chain. The supply chain is composed of some supplierswhich are spread in different geographical zones and multiple shared vehicles with different speedsand capacities for transporting orders from the suppliers to a manufacturer. After ...
متن کاملVehicle routing and crew scheduling for metropolitan mail distribution at Australia Post
This paper presents a new multi-depot combined vehicle and crew scheduling algorithm, and uses it, in conjunction with a heuristic vehicle routing algorithm, to solve the intra-city mail distribution problem faced by Australia Post. First we describe the Australia Post mail distribution problem and outline the heuristic vehicle routing algorithm used to find vehicle routes. We present a new mul...
متن کاملA Comparison of NSGA II and MOSA for Solving Multi-depots Time-dependent Vehicle Routing Problem with Heterogeneous Fleet
Time-dependent Vehicle Routing Problem is one of the most applicable but least-studied variants of routing and scheduling problems. In this paper, a novel mathematical formulation of time-dependent vehicle routing problems with heterogeneous fleet, hard time widows and multiple depots, is proposed. To deal with the traffic congestions, we also considered that the vehicles are not forced to come...
