Routing and path planning problems that involve spatial coverage have received increasing
attention in recent years in different application areas. Spatial coverage refers to the …

This paper presents a study on the application of Autonomous Delivery Vehicles (ADVs) in
last-mile delivery for urban logistics. Specifically, we focus on a routing problem using multi …

This study proposes a covering delivery problem (CDP), which has practical applications in
last mile parcel delivery in online shopping. A set of vertices are considered, including …

We investigate the vehicle routing with demand allocation problem where the decision-
maker jointly optimizes the location of delivery sites, the assignment of customers to …

This paper addresses the covering salesman problem (CSP), which is an extension of the
classical traveling salesman problem (TSP). Given a set of cities and a coverage radius …

We consider a generalized version of the well known Traveling Salesman Problem called
Covering Salesman problem. In this problem, we are given a set of vertices while each …

A novel problem for the collection of raw milk from a network of farms supplying a dairy is
specified and solved. The proposed approach incorporates milk blending and the delivery of …

Automated driving technology is one of the emerging technologies which will change the
transportation mode in the future. Distributing the automated driving vehicles from the …

We investigate a variant of the vehicle routing-allocation problem that arises in the
distribution of pallets of goods by a food bank to a network of relatively distant nonprofit …

This paper introduces and formulates a covering traveling salesman problem with profit
arose in the last mile delivery. In this problem, a set of vertices including a central depot …
