A multiple objective goal programming approach to the truckload routing problem
نویسنده
چکیده
Truckload routing has always been a challenge. The truckload routing problem (TRP) itself is hard, but the complexity of solving the problem increases due to the stochastic nature of truckload demand. It is traditionally approached through the use of single objective solution methodologies which range from linear programming to dynamic programming techniques. This paper presents a deterministic multiple objective formulation of the TRP, which paves the way for a solution approach utilizing goal programming and taboo search techniques.

A Goal Programming Model for Single Vehicle Routing Problem with Multiple Routes
The single vehicle routing problem with multiple routes is a variant of the vehicle routing problem where the vehicle can be dispatched to several routes during its workday to serve a number of customers. In this paper we propose a goal programming model for multi-objective single vehicle routing problem with time windows and multiple routes. To solve the model, we present a heuristic method wh...

The vehicle routing problem with backhauls (VRPB) as an extension of the classical vehicle routing prob-lem (VRP) attempts to define a set of routes which services both linehaul customers whom product are to be delivered and backhaul customers whom goods need to be collected. A primary objective for the problem usually is minimizing the total distribution cost. Most real-life problems have othe...
