Municipal waste management has become a challenging issue with the rise in urban populations and changes people’s habits, particularly developing countries. Moreover, government policy plays an important role associated municipal management. Thus, this research proposes regional location routing problem (RLRP) model multi-depot (MRLRP) model, which are extensions of (LRP), to provide better col...

This paper aims to study the locomotive assignment problem which is very important for railway companies, in view of high cost of operating locomotives. This problem is to determine the minimum cost assignment of homogeneous locomotives located in some central depots to a set of pre-scheduled trains in order to provide sufficient power to pull the trains from their origins to their destinations...

In this chapter we are going to study metaheuristics based on the Automata Theory for the Multi-objective Optimization of Combinatorial Problems. As well known, Combinatorial Optimization is a branch of optimization. Its domain is optimization problems where the set of feasible solutions is discrete or can be reduced to a discrete one, and the goal is to find the best possible solution(Yong-Fa ...

Reliable location routing problem considers a location problem and a vehicle routing problem in order to select the optimal location of facilities and at the same time the optimal routes for vehicles considering the unexpected failure for facilities in which, all facilities may fail with a probability. In this paper, a bi-objective mathematical model has been developed to minimize the total cos...

using greedy clustering method to solve capacitated location-routing problem with fuzzy demands abstract in this paper, the capacitated location routing problem with fuzzy demands (clrp_fd) is considered. in clrp_fd, facility location problem (flp) and vehicle routing problem (vrp) are observed simultaneously. indeed the vehicles and the depots have a predefined capacity to serve the customerst...

In this paper, a new type of geometric shape based genetic clustering algorithm is proposed. A genetic algorithm based on this clustering technique is developed for the solution process of the multi-depot...

The improper delivery route planning of multi depot and assignment model leads the logistic operation in high travel distance distribution cost. This paper aim to explain integration vehicle routing problem (MDVRP) Geographical Information System (GIS) obtain optimum with minimum by using multi-objective mixed integer programming approach visualize its open-source public GIS integration.
