The current global interest in improving the use of ever-scarcer natural resources calls for
the re-alignment of supply chain operations to include not only economic factors, but …

Distributors are faced with loading constraints in their route planning, eg, multi-dimensional
packing constraints, unloading sequence constraints, stability constraints and axle weight …

Abstract The Split Delivery Vehicle Routing Problem with three-dimensional loading
constraints (3L-SDVRP) combines vehicle routing and three-dimensional loading with …

Proliferation of multi-national corporations and extremely competitive business
environments have led to an unprecedented demand for third-party logistics services …

This paper presents constraint programming-based solution approaches for the three-
dimensional loading capacitated vehicle routing problem (3l-CVRP) that consists of vehicle …

In this paper, we consider vehicle routing problems with backhauls and time windows
(VRPBTW). Different backhaul variants are studied, namely clustered backhauls (CB), mixed …

This paper addresses a vehicle scheduling problem encountered in the cold chain logistics
of the frozen food delivery industry. Unlike the single product delivery scenario, we propose …

This paper introduces a complex real-world problem on a large scale that combines the split
delivery heterogeneous vehicle routing problem with three-dimensional loading and …

Cross-docking is a logistic strategy which can increase rates of consolidation, and reduce
distribution and storage costs and delivery times. The optimization literature on cross …

In light of the existing practical applications of the two-dimensional loading on vehicle
scheduling and many-to-many supply-demand relationships between suppliers and …
