This is a review of the literature on variants and extensions of the standard location-routing
problem published since the last survey, by Nagy and Salhi, appeared in 2006. We propose …

A number of technological advances have led to a renewed interest in dynamic vehicle
routing problems. This survey classifies routing problems from the perspective of information …

With the rapid development of logistics industry, vehicle scheduling is the key to the
optimization of transportation links. Vehicle transportation route planning is becoming more …

Driven by new laws and regulations concerning the emission of greenhouse gases, carriers
are starting to use electric vehicles for last-mile deliveries. The limited battery capacities of …

In this paper, we present a multi-objective vehicle routing problem with flexible time windows
(MOVRPFlexTW). In this problem, a fleet of vehicles can service a set of customers earlier …

Swarm intelligence is a relatively new approach to problem solving that takes inspiration
from the social behaviors of insects and of other animals. In particular, ants have inspired a …

The Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) calls for the determination of the optimal set of routes to
be performed by a fleet of vehicles to serve a given set of customers, and it is one of the most …

We use a local search method we term Large Neighbourhood Search (LNS) to solve vehicle
routing problems. LNS is analogous to the shuffing technique of job-shop scheduling, and …

In this paper, we have conducted a literature review on the recent developments and
publications involving the vehicle routing problem and its variants, namely vehicle routing …

Constraint programming is a powerful paradigm for solving combinatorial search problems
that draws on a wide range of techniques from artificial intelligence, computer science …
