Technological advances in the last two decades have aroused great interest in the class of
dynamic vehicle routing problems (DVRPs), which is reflected in the significant growth of the …

Due to the ubiquitous real-world applications of logistics and supply chain management
over the past two decades, dynamic pickup and delivery problems (DPDPs), as a subclass …

A new model and solution for the multi-objective heterogeneous vehicle routing and
scheduling problem, with energy minimizing, is presented in this paper. The concept of …

In recent years, integrating sustainability into the freight transportation (FT) system is
progressively gaining global attention. The adoption of sustainability best practices acts as a …

This paper presents an overview of recent advances in the field of the vehicle routing
problem (VRP), based on papers published in high-quality journals during the period from …

With the development of advanced manufacturing technology, more and more enterprises
utilize automated guided vehicles to transfer materials for computer numerical control …

Industrial companies today are facing two important issues: the implementation of 4.0
technologies, that allow to automate and improve plant productivity, and the evaluation of …

Abstract Operations of Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) are desired to be more energy-
efficient while maintaining high transport productivity, motivated by the green production …

We consider the scheduling method that allows to minimize the traveling time of a AGV (and
thus energy consumption) at each of zones, while to minimize the waiting time of the …

As the global environment deteriorates further, the decision-makers of enterprises no longer
only consider qualitative factors such as yield in the choice of machine tools, but also pay …
