Optimal routing solutions based on deterministic models usually fail to deliver promised on- time services in an uncertain real world, which can lead to the loss of customers and …
We consider the vehicle routing problem with deadlines under travel time uncertainty in the contexts of stochastic and robust optimization. The problem is defined on a directed graph …
In distribution networks a supplier transports goods from a distribution center to customers by means of vehicles with limited capacity. Drivers will drive routes on which they visit …

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 …
This paper addresses the vehicle routing problem with time windows and stochastic demands (VRPTWSD). The problem is modeled as a two-stage stochastic program with …
We study an a priori Traveling Salesman Problem with Time Windows (tsptw) in which the travel times along the arcs are uncertain and the goal is to determine within a budget …
The Vehicle Routing Problem with Time-Windows (VRPTW) is an important problem in allocating resources on networks in time and space. We present in this paper a Deterministic …
The vehicle routing problem with stochastic demands (VRPSD) consists in designing optimal routes to serve a set of customers with random demands following known probability …
In this chapter, we are interested in routing vehicles to minimize unmet demand with uncertain demand and travel time parameters. Such a problem arises in situations with large …
