On-time delivery probabilistic models for the vehicle routing problem with stochastic demands and time windows

J Zhang, WHK Lam, BY Chen - European Journal of Operational Research, 2016 - Elsevier
Increasing attention is given to on-time delivery of goods in the distribution and logistics
industry. Due to uncertainties in customer demands, on-time deliveries cannot be ensured …

A scenario-based approach for the vehicle routing problem with roaming delivery locations under stochastic travel times

AS Oliveira, J Kinable, L Veelenturf, T Van Woensel - 2019 - research.tue.nl
We address a stochastic variant of the Vehicle Routing Problem with Roaming Delivery
Locations. In this model, direct-to-consumer deliveries can be made in the trunk of the …

A stochastic vehicle routing problem with travel time uncertainty: trade-off between cost and customer service

J Zhang, WHK Lam, BY Chen - Networks and Spatial Economics, 2013 - Springer
On-time shipment delivery is critical for just-in-time production and quick response logistics.
Due to uncertainties in travel and service times, on-time arrival probability of vehicles at …

A vehicle routing problem with time windows and stochastic demands

MS Chang - Journal of the Chinese institute of engineers, 2005 - Taylor & Francis
This study presents an approach for considering a vehicle routing problem where customers'
pickup demands are uncertain and require serving within some settled time windows …

A vehicle routing problem with distribution uncertainty in deadlines

D Zhang, D Li, H Sun, L Hou - European Journal of Operational Research, 2021 - Elsevier
This article considers a stochastic vehicle routing problem with probability constraints. The
probability that customers are served before their (uncertain) deadlines must be higher than …

Stochastic single vehicle routing problem with delivery and pick up and a predefined customer sequence

I Minis, A Tatarakis - European journal of operational research, 2011 - Elsevier
In this paper we study the routing of a single vehicle that delivers products and picks up
items with stochastic demand. The vehicle follows a predefined customer sequence and is …

Exact approach for the vehicle routing problem with stochastic demands and preventive returns

FV Louveaux, JJ Salazar-González - Transportation Science, 2018 - pubsonline.informs.org
This paper considers a vehicle routing problem where the customer demands are stochastic
variables. Because of uncertainty along a route, the vehicle may be unable to load all …

A rollout policy for the vehicle routing problem with stochastic demands

N Secomandi - Operations Research, 2001 - pubsonline.informs.org
The paper considers the single vehicle routing problem with stochastic demands. While
most of the literature has studied the a priori solution approach, this work focuses on …

M Salavati-Khoshghalb, M Gendreau, O Jabali… - European Journal of …, 2019 - Elsevier
This paper examines the Vehicle Routing Problem with Stochastic Demands (VRPSD), in
which the actual demand of customers can only be realized upon arriving at the customer …

Vehicle routing problems with time windows and stochastic travel and service times: Models and algorithm

X Li, P Tian, SCH Leung - International Journal of Production Economics, 2010 - Elsevier
