For this paper, we explored the implementation of the cuckoo search algorithm applied to the capacitated vehicle routing problem. The cuckoo search algorithm was implemented with Lévy flights with the 2-opt and double-bridge operations, and with 500 iterations for each run. The algorithm was tested on the problem instances from the Augerat benchmark dataset. The algorithm did not perform well o...

The increasing use of electric vehicles in road and air transportation, especially last-mile delivery city mobility, raises new operational challenges due to the limited capacity batteries. These limitations impose additional driving range constraints when optimizing distribution mobility plans. During last years, several researchers from Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Operations Re...

--Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) have grown out of the need to support the growing number of wireless products that can now be used in vehicles. These products include remote keyless entry devices, personal digital assistants (PDAs), laptops and mobile telephones. As mobile wireless devices and networks become increasingly important, the demand for Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle toRoa...

In this paper, a new algorithm for solving the single loop routing problem is presented. The purpose of the single loop routing problem(SLRP) is to find the shortest loop for an automated guided vehicle covering at least one edge of each department of a block layout. First it shown that this problem can be represented as a graph model. Then a meta-heuristic algorithm based on and colony system ...

in this paper, we study the multi-depot vehiclerouting problem with inter-depot routes, in which the vehicles can replenish atintermediate depots. vehicles leave the origin depot with load on-board andserve customers until out of load. they may visit an intermediate depot toreplenish and finally return to the origin depot, completing their route. weinitiate a mathematical mixed integer programm...
