Summary In the classical Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) a fleet of capacitated vehicles is
available to serve a set of customers with known demand. Each customer is required to be …

In the vehicle routing problem, a fleet of vehicles must service the demands of customers in
a least-cost way. By allowing multiple vehicles to service the same customer (ie, splitting …

We describe a tabu search algorithm for the vehicle routing problem with split deliveries. At
each iteration, a neighbor solution is obtained by removing a customer from a set of routes …

This paper addresses a vehicle routing and scheduling problem arising in Flight Ticket
Sales Companies for the service of free pickup and delivery of airline passengers to the …

This paper deals with one-to-many-to-one vehicle routing and scheduling problems with
pickups and deliveries and studies the effect of various backhauling strategies. Initially …

The multitrip cumulative capacitated vehicle routing problem (mt-CCVRP) is a non-trivial
extension of the classical CVRP: the goal is to minimize the sum of arrival times at demand …

Developing under-exploited passenger rail networks is emerging as an alternative for freight
transport. In light of this, we investigate a long-haul freight mode in which additional railcars …

This research introduces a new variant of two-echelon vehicle routing problems inspired
from the city logistics. The problem considers a two-echelon freight distribution network …
