The multitrip pickup and delivery problem with time windows and manpower planning
(MTPDPTW-MP) determines a set of ambulance routes and finds staff assignment for a …

Traditional methods of generating timetables may yield high-quality solutions, but they may
not yield robust solutions that may easily be adapted to changing inputs. Incorporating late …

Periodic vehicle routing problem with time windows (PVRPTWs) is an important
