Towards a Decision Making Support System for the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem
نویسندگان
چکیده
Distribution of goods is of importance in logistics and supply chain management. The target of a distribution network is to specify the beneficial way for delivering goods and commodities from supply to demand points. In distribution domain, this activity can usually be viewed as a capacitated vehicle routing problem (CVRP). As the CVRP solutions remain computationally intractable, we develop in this paper an interactive routing decision making support system (R-DMSS) that integrates a swarm based approach into a geographical information system (GIS). The empirical experiments include benchmarking instances as well as a case study over the Ezzahra area in Tunisia. The R-DMSS interfaces are presented to better understand the operational aspect of the system. Towards a Decision Making Support System for the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem

CAPACITATED VEHICLE ROUTING PROBLEM WITH VEHICLES HIRE OR PURCHASE DECISION: MODELING AND SOLUTION APPROACHES
The overall cost of companies dealing with the distribution tasks is considerably affected by the way that distributing vehicles are procured. In this paper, a more practical version of capacitated vehicle routing problem (CVRP) in which the decision of purchase or hire of vehicles is simultaneously considered is investigated. In CVRP model capacitated vehicles start from a single depot simulta...
متن کاملComparing Two-Echelon and Single-Echelon Multi-Objective Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problems
This paper aims to compare a two-echelon and a single-echelon distribution system. A mathematical model for the Single-Echelon Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (SE-CVRP) is proposed. This SE-CVRP is the counterpart of Two-Echelon Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (2E-CVRP) introduced in the authors’ previous work. The proposed mathematical model is Mixed-Integer Non-Linear Programming (MIN...
متن کاملA novel heuristic algorithm for capacitated vehicle routing problem
The vehicle routing problem with the capacity constraints was considered in this paper. It is quite difficult to achieve an optimal solution with traditional optimization methods by reason of the high computational complexity for large-scale problems. Consequently, new heuristic or metaheuristic approaches have been developed to solve this problem. In this paper, we constructed a new heuristic ...
متن کاملA new Bi-objective model for a Two-echelon Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem for Perishable Products with the Environmental Factor
In multi-echelon distribution strategy freight is delivered to customers via intermediate depots. Rather than using direct shipments, this strategy is an increasingly popular one in urban logistics. This is primarily to alleviate the environmental (e.g., energy usage and congestion) and social (e.g., traffic-related air pollution, accidents and noise) consequences of logistics operations. This ...
متن کاملModel and Solution Approach for Multi objective-multi commodity Capacitated Arc Routing Problem with Fuzzy Demand
The capacitated arc routing problem (CARP) is one of the most important routing problems with many applications in real world situations. In some real applications such as urban waste collection and etc., decision makers have to consider more than one objective and investigate the problem under uncertain situations where required edges have demand for more than one type of commodity. So, in thi...
