… In §1 we describe methods for determining vehicle requirements without time windows. The
percentage differences between analytical and simulation models in these papers are larger …

… variant of the vehicle routing problem (VRP) with time windows, in which the vehicle fleet
comprises units of different capacities and some overloads (ie, loading vehicles above nominal …

… heterogeneous fleet vehicle routing problems with time windows. … fleet size and mix vehicle
routing problem with time windows … fixed fleet vehicle routing problem with time windows (H), …

… In this paper, a problem variant of the vehicle routing problem with time windows is … consider
vehicle routing with a heterogeneous fleet, a limited number of vehicles and time windows. …

… fleet (ie the vehicle fleet is composed by an unlimited number of vehicles), the type of costs

… vehicle fixed costs, not the vehicle capitalapurchasing costs. For example, servicing customers
by using an owned fleet, we perhaps need to consider the following vehicle … of vehicles …

… This article addresses the Multi-Depot Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows with
the minimization of the number of used vehicles, denominated as MDVRPTW*. This problem is …

… we introduce binary variables zk, whose value is 1 if vehicle k ∈ K is used and 0 otherwise.
Handling time windows and duration of the routes requires the definition of the following sets …

This paper presents a novel three-phase heuristic/algorithmic approach for the multi-depot
routing problem with time windows and heterogeneous vehicles. It has been derived from …

… of recharging times and locations. The available vehicle types differ in their transport
capacity, battery size and acquisition cost. Furthermore, we consider time windows at customer …
