We introduce the electric vehicle routing problem with public-private recharging strategy in which vehicles may recharge en route at public charging infrastructure as well a privately-owned depot. To hedge against uncertain demand stations, we design policies that anticipate station queue dynamics. leverage decomposition to identify good policies, including optimal static policy and fixed-route...

Growing concerns about the climate change have forced governments to initiate tighter environmental regulations and tougher emission reduction targets, increasing interest on electromobility. Logistics operators started employing electric vehicles (EVs) must face new operational planning challenges. Moreover, with an ever-growing in e-commerce, parcel delivery is taking shapes by offering flexi...

the capacitated vehicle routing problem (cvrp) is a well-known combinatorial optimization problem that holds a central place in logistics management. the vehicle routing is an applied task in the industrial transportation for which an optimal solution will lead us to better services, save more time and ultimately increase in customer satisfaction. this problem is classified into np-hard problem...

stochastic approach to vehicle routing problem: development and theories abstract in this article, a chance constrained (ccp) formulation of the vehicle routing problem (vrp) is proposed. the reality is that once we convert some special form of probabilistic constraint into their equivalent deterministic form then a nonlinear constraint generates. knowing that reliable computer software for lar...

Due to new regulations and further technological progress in the field of electric vehicles, the research community faces the new challenge of incorporating the electric energy based restrictions into vehicle routing problems. One of these restrictions is the limited battery capacity which makes detours to recharging stations necessary, thus requiring efficient tour planning mechanisms in order...

Abstract In this paper, a new variant of the electric vehicle (EV) routing problem, which considers heterogeneous EVs, partial recharge, and recycling, is investigated based on logistic companies' practical operation. A mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model proposed to formulate problem. For small-scale scenarios, commercial solver, e.g., CPLEX, leveraged. large-scale instances faced by...
