Due to new regulations and further technological progress in the field of electric vehicles, the research community faces the new challenge of incorporating the electric energy based restrictions into vehicle routing problems. One of these restrictions is the limited battery capacity which makes detours to recharging stations necessary, thus requiring efficient tour planning mechanisms in order...

Ruiz-Vanoye et al. show a practice case of strategic planning for the computer science security based on the concepts of strategic administration of enterprise politics. The practice case of the computer science security shows information about an Electric Research Institute of Mexican Government. The Electric Research Institute is a public enterprise dedicated to innovation, technological deve...

periodic vehicle routing problem focuses on establishing a plan of visits to clients over a given time horizon so as to satisfy some service level while optimizing the routes used in each time period. this paper presents a new effective heuristic algorithm based on data mining tools for periodic vehicle routing problem (pvrp). the related results of proposed algorithm are compared with the resu...

vehicle routing problem (vrp) is one of the major problems in the transportation and distribution planning. in the most previous studies, the objective of vrp models was distance and vehicle related costs. however in many industrial cases along with routing distance, vehicle loading amount is a factor of cost function. in this paper, we formulate a mixed integer non-linear programming (minlp) m...

The purpose of this research is to present a new mathematical modeling for a vehicle routing problem considering concurrently the criteria such as distance, weight, traffic considerations, time window limitation, and heterogeneous vehicles in the reverse logistics network for collection of expired products. In addition, we aim to present an efficient solution approach according to differential ...

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 ...

in this paper, we investigate a decision support system (dss) for the resolution of real-life vehicle routing and scheduling problem (vrsp). scheduling the deliveries from a regional distribution centre (rdc) to large stores of a major fmcg retailer includes every possible vehicle routing complexity. usual constraints that are seen are: size of the vehicle and the length of the driving day, loa...
