A Multi-vehicle Profit-maximizing Pickup and Delivery Selection Problem with Time Windows
Today the transportation market is highly competitive yet asymmetric. Large carriers enjoy market power from economies of scale and better networking. Small carriers rely on horizontal cooperation between each other to compete with, usually by trading on freight exchanges. One major challenge for small carriers is how to select requests so that the total profit from the delivery can be maximize...
متن کاملThe fuzzy multi-depot vehicle routing problem with simultaneous pickup and delivery: Formulation and a heuristic algorithm
In this paper, the fuzzy multi-depot vehicle routing problem with simultaneous pickup and delivery (FMDVRP-SPD) is investigated. The FMDVRP-SPD is the problem of allocating customers to several depots, so that the optimal set of routes is determined simultaneously to serve the pickup and the delivery demands of each customer within scattered depots. In the problem, both pickup and delivery dema...
متن کاملThe Pickup and Delivery Multi-depot Vehicle Routing Problem
We address in this paper the pickup and delivery multi-depot vehicle routing problem (PDMDVRP). In this problem, a single commodity type is collected from a set of pickup customers to be delivered to a set of delivery customers by vehicles dispatched from multiple depots. The proposed problem has many applications in practice such as distribution of money between the branches of a bank, and mov...

متن کاملA particle swarm optimization method for periodic vehicle routing problem with pickup and delivery in transportation
In this article, multiple-product PVRP with pickup and delivery that is used widely in goods distribution or other service companies, especially by railways, was introduced. A mathematical formulation was provided for this problem. Each product had a set of vehicles which could carry the product and pickup and delivery could simultaneously occur. To solve the problem, two meta-heuristic methods...
