چکیده

Falling across the problem of the unforeseen congested events in the logistic transportation, we build the online vehicle scheduling model with the recoverable congested vertices in this paper. Our optimization objective minimizes the total time of online scheduling. Considering the dynamic occurrence characteristics of the congested vertices one by one, we first introduce three online scheduling strategies, i. e., Greedy Strategy, Reposition Strategy, and Waiting Strategy, and analyze the advantages and disadvantages of competitive performances of the three strategies. Then we propose the Simple Choice Strategy. By competitive performance analysis, we think that the Simple Choice Strategy could be an optimal scheduling scheme for online vehicle transportation.

Online Scheduling of Jobs for D-benevolent instances On Identical Machines

We consider online scheduling of jobs with specic release time on m identical machines. Each job has a weight and a size; the goal is maximizing total weight of completed jobs. At release time of a job it must immediately be scheduled on a machine or it will be rejected. It is also allowed during execution of a job to preempt it; however, it will be lost and only weight of completed jobs contri...

A multi-objective memetic algorithm for risk minimizing vehicle routing problem and scheduling problem

In this paper, a new approach to risk minimizing vehicle routing and scheduling problem is presented. Forwarding agents or companies have two main concerns for the collection of high-risk commodities like cash or valuable commodities between the central depot and the customers: one; because of the high value of the commodities transported, the risk of ambush and robbery are very high. Two; the ...

A Comparison of NSGA II and MOSA for Solving Multi-depots Time-dependent Vehicle Routing Problem with Heterogeneous Fleet

Time-dependent Vehicle Routing Problem is one of the most applicable but least-studied variants of routing and scheduling problems. In this paper, a novel mathematical formulation of time-dependent vehicle routing problems with heterogeneous fleet, hard time widows and multiple depots, is proposed. To deal with the traffic congestions, we also considered that the vehicles are not forced to come...

A multi-objective resource-constrained optimization of time-cost trade-off problems in scheduling project

This paper presents a multi-objective resource-constrained project scheduling problem with positive and negative cash flows. The net present value (NPV) maximization and making span minimization are this study objectives. And since this problem is considered as complex optimization in NP-Hard context, we present a mathematical model for the given problem and solve three evolutionary algorithms;...

A Multi-objective optimization model for project scheduling with time-varying resource requirements and capacities

Proper and realistic scheduling is an important factor of success for every project. In reality, project scheduling often involves several objectives that must be realized simultaneously, and faces numerous uncertainties that may undermine the integrity of the devised schedule. Thus, the manner of dealing with such uncertainties is of particular importance for effective planning. A realistic sc...
