Split Delivery Application in Vehicle Routing Problem with Drones

Fuzzy Vehicle Routing Problem with Split Delivery: Trade-off between Air Pollution and Customer Satisfaction

In large-scale emergency, the vehicle routing problem focuses on finding the best routes for vehicles. The equitable distribution has a vital role in this problem to decrease the number of death and save people's lives. In addition to this, air pollution is a threat to people’s life and it can be considered to omit other kinds of disasters happens because of it. So, a new MINLP model presented ...

Vehicle Routing with Drones

We introduce a package service model where trucks as well as drones can deliver packages. Drones can travel on trucks or fly; but while flying, drones can only carry one package at a time and have to return to a truck to charge after each delivery. We present a heuristic algorithm to solve the problem of finding a good schedule for all drones and trucks. The algorithm is based on two nested loc...

New Lower Bounds for the Split Delivery Vehicle Routing Problem

This paper presents an algorithm to obtain lower bounds for the Split Delivery Vehicle Routing Problem. An extended formulation over a large set of variables is provided and valid inequalities are identified. The algorithm combines column and cut generation and was able to improve the lower bound for almost all instances tested.

A Construction Heuristic for the Split Delivery Vehicle Routing Problem

The Split Delivery Vehicle Routing Problem (SDVRP) is a relaxation of the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (CVRP) where customers may be assigned to multiple routes. A new construction heuristic is developed for the SDVRP and computational results are given for thirty-two data sets from previous literature. With respect to the total travel distance, the construction heuristic compares favora...
