Competitive Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows and Stochastic Demands
Authors
Abstract:
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 window. Therefore, revenue given in each time window is different. In this paper a project with two companies in a city with eight customers is considered and the best routing with maximum revenue is obtained.

THE PERIODIC GREEN VEHICLE ROUTING PROBLEM WITH CONSIDERING OF TIME-DEPENDENT URBAN TRAFFIC AND TIME WINDOWS
The travel times among demand points are strongly influenced by traffic in a supply chain. Due to this fact, the service times for customers are variable. For this reason, service time is often changes over a time interval in a real environment. In this paper, a time-dependent periodic green vehicle routing problem (VRP) considering the time windows for serving the customers and multiple trip i...

The vehicle routing problem with backhauls (VRPB) as an extension of the classical vehicle routing prob-lem (VRP) attempts to define a set of routes which services both linehaul customers whom product are to be delivered and backhaul customers whom goods need to be collected. A primary objective for the problem usually is minimizing the total distribution cost. Most real-life problems have othe...

This study addresses the pickup and delivery problem for cross-docking strategy, in which shipments are allowed to be transferred from suppliers to retailers directly as well as through cross-docks. Usual models that investigate vehicle routing in cross-docking networks force all vehicles to stop at the cross-dock even if a shipment is about to a full truckload or the vehicle collects and deliv...
