A Heuristic for Time Constrained Arc Routing Problems
نویسنده
چکیده
Arc routing problems arise, for example, when roads require treatment or customers must be served who are located along roads. So practical examples include the routing of people or vehicles for postal deliveries, meter reading and winter gritting, where the roads need to be treated with salt or some other agent to prevent the surface becoming icy. An arc routing problem is represented by a graph where a subset of the arcs must be treated on one or more routes, possibly subject to constraints.

Model 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...

In the past decades, vehicle routing problem (VRP) has gained considerable attention for its applications in industry, military, and transportation applications. Vehicle routing problem with simultaneous pickup and delivery is an extension of the VRP. This problem is an NP-hard problem; hence finding the best solution for this problem which is using exact method, take inappropriate time, and th...

In this paper, the capacitated location-routing problem with fuzzy demands (CLRP-FD) is considered. The CLRP-FD is composed of two well-known problems: facility location problem and vehicle routing problem. The problem has many real-life applications of which some have been addressed in the literature such as management of hazardous wastes and food and drink distribution. In CLRP-FD, a set of c...
متن کاملMultiple center capacitated arc routing problems: A tabu search algorithm using capacitated trees
In the capacitated arc routing problem with multiple centers (M-CARP) the objective is to ®nd routes starting from the given depots or centers such that each required arc is served, capacity (and usually additional) constraints are satis®ed and total travel cost is minimized. In this paper we consider a heuristic transformation of the M-CARP into a multiple center capacitated minimum spanning t...
