The Vehicle Routing Problem of Logistics park distribution (VRPLPD) is an extension of the vehicle routing problem, which deals with simultaneous distribution of goods to customers. With the increasing importance of logistics activities, it is of great theoretical and practical significance to determine efficient and effective vehicle routes for simultaneous delivery activities. The study attem...

The contribution of this paper is a comparison of the state-of-the-art of academic research on and commercial software for modelling and solving vehicle routing problems. To this end, the paper presents a compact review of vehicle routing literature and an overview of the results of a recent study of commercial vehicle routing software systems with respect to the problem features these systems ...

Vehicle routing problems attempt to define optimal delivery methods of goods to places. I examined the capacitated vehicle routing problem that determines the least cost route to deliver objects to customers using a single vehicle of fixed capacity. Vehicle routing problems attract considerable attention because of their implications for delivery businesses. My variant of the problem differs fr...

In this paper, a new algorithm for solving the single loop routing problem is presented. The purpose of the single loop routing problem(SLRP) is to find the shortest loop for an automated guided vehicle covering at least one edge of each department of a block layout. First it shown that this problem can be represented as a graph model. Then a meta-heuristic algorithm based on and colony system ...

centralizing and using proper transportation facilities cut down costs and traffic. hub facilities concentrate on flows to cause economic advantage of scale and multimodal transportation helps use the advantage of another transporter. a distinctive feature of this paper is proposing a new mathematical formulation for a three-stage p-hub location routing problem with simultaneous pick-ups and de...

Abstract- Efficient message delivery in city environment is required to ensure driver’s safety and passenger’s comfortability. In cities of developed nations, routing of data in vehicular Ad hoc Network (VANET) faces many challenges such as radio obstacles, mobility constraints and uneven nodes distribution. These factors primarily makes communication between vehicles complex. To overcome and t...

We provide a categorized bibliography of metaheuristics for solving the vehicle routing problem and its extensions. The categories are based on various types of metaheuristics and vehicle routing problems

Journal : European Journal of Operational Research State : Accepted manuscript doi:10.1016/j.ejor.2012.08.015 Abstract : A number of technological advances have led to a renewed interest on dynamic vehicle routing problems. This survey classiVes routing problems from the perspective of information quality and evolution. After presenting a general description of dynamic routing, we introduce the...
