Modeling Techniques for Periodic Vehicle Routing Problems

چکیده
This paper presents a continuous approximation model for the Period Vehicle Routing Problem with Service Choice (PVRP-SC). The PVRP-SC is a variant of the Period Vehicle Routing Problem in which the visit frequency to nodes is a decision of the model. This variation can result in more e±cient vehicle tours and/or greater service bene ̄t to customers. The continuous approximation model can facilitate strategic and tactical planning of periodic distribution systems and evaluate the value of service choice. Further, results from the continuous model can provide guidelines for constructing solutions to the discrete PVRP-SC.

A 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...
متن کاملTHE PERIODIC GREEN VEHICLE ROUTING PROBLEM WITH CONSIDERING OF TIME-DEPENDENT URBAN TRAFFIC AND TIME WINDOWS
The travel times among demand points are strongly influenced by traffic in a supply chain. Due to this fact, the service times for customers are variable. For this reason, service time is often changes over a time interval in a real environment. In this paper, a time-dependent periodic green vehicle routing problem (VRP) considering the time windows for serving the customers and multiple trip i...

متن کاملAn Improved Particle Swarm Optimization for a Class of Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problems
Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) is addressed to a class of problems for determining a set of vehicle routes, in which each vehicle departs from a given depot, serves a given set of customers, and returns back to the same depot. On the other hand, simultaneous delivery and pickup problems have drawn much attention in the past few years due to its high usage in real world cases. This study, therefo...
