The Vehicle Routing Problem with Demand Range
We propose and formulate the vehicle routing problem with demand range (VRPDR), a new variation on the traditional vehicle routing problem. In the VRPDR, the delivery quantity for each customer i is allowed to vary from its original size di by an amount αdi where 0 ≤ α < 1. In adding this limited flexibility to the problem, there is potential to generate significant savings in the total distanc...
متن کاملThe demand weighted vehicle routing problem
We consider the problem of constructing optimal bus routes for carrying students from residences to campus and then back home. In typical routing problems the objective is to minimize distance traveled subject to vehicle capacity constraints or meeting time window constraints. However, in this application the vehicles carry people and each person travels the entire length of the route. Therefor...
متن کاملA Decentralised Approach for the Transportation On Demand Problem
Public transport systems are generally organized in a static, a priori way. In such systems, the demand must be adapted to the offer. In this paper, we propose a model based on self-organization in order to dispatch a fleet of vehicles in a purely dynamic Transportation On Demand system (TOD). Our proposal consists in a decentralized approach and a multi-agent system (MAS) to model the environm...
متن کاملVehicle Routing Problem and Hazmat Transportation
Providing safe transportation for Hazardous Materials (Hazmat) is a concern that attracts a wide range of resaerchers. Different types of problems have been defined in the literature in order to cope as much as possible with real situations. Most of existing studies consider the transportation between two points, while few of them considered resolving the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) in the co...
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...
