Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For manufacturing and service industries to stay competitive in this rapidly changing, globalized world, one of the most important operations, and one that many businesses struggle to plan and manage efficiently, is material handling. There has been a large amount of research on various vehicle routing problems (VRPs) in recent decades, but relatively less work on certain unique types of VRPs that characterize some specific industries. This thesis identifies an interesting and new type of VRP with unique characteristics in order to serve the needs and goals of the electronics industry. The problem deals with two types of customers; some require only delivery, while the others require both delivery and installation. There are two different types of vehicles in this problem: delivery vehicles and installation vehicles. The delivery vehicle and (if needed) the installation vehicle are allowed to visit each customer only once. There is an additional constraint to provide the guaranteed service quality, which is measured by the amount of time between the delivery and the installation. A customer must be visited by an installation vehicle within the predetermined maximum allowable time after the visit by a delivery vehicle. Therefore, it is required that both types of vehicles be synchronized for the customers requiring both delivery and installation. The problem under consideration is more complicated than other, traditional VRPs that have been studied widely in the past, since in this case two different types of vehicles must be synchronized. A mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINP) model for this problem is formulated. A hierarchical approach using a genetic algorithm (GA) is proposed to solve the problem effectively. Various examples are tested to show the effectiveness of the proposed hierarchical approach. To demonstrate the robustness of the proposed approach, partial factorial experimental design varying the parameters of characteristics in the problem is performed using the Taguchi method. In the hierarchical approach, an algorithmic limitation is conjectured in which the attempt to find the best solution tends to dwell on the local optimal solution, searching only part of the entire solution space. In order to tackle the limitation of the hierarchical approach and search the entire solution space effectively and efficiently for a global optimal solution, an endosymbiotic evolutionary algorithm (EEA), which concurrently considers subproblems having cooperative interactions, is considered. Various test examples are solved using the EEA, and this method's efficiency and effectiveness are shown by comparing the computational results with the ones from the hierarchical approach. A set of problems is solved by the MINP model, the hierarchical approach using a genetic algorithm, and the EEA, and solutions from the three approaches are compared.

Book excerpt: Vehicle routing problems, among the most studied in combinatorial optimization, arise in many practical contexts (freight distribution and collection, transportation, garbage collection, newspaper delivery, etc.). Operations researchers have made significant developments in the algorithms for their solution, and Vehicle Routing: Problems, Methods, and Applications, Second Edition reflects these advances. The text of the new edition is either completely new or significantly revised and provides extensive and complete state-of-the-art coverage of vehicle routing by those who have done most of the innovative research in the area; it emphasizes methodology related to specific classes of vehicle routing problems and, since vehicle routing is used as a benchmark for all new solution techniques, contains a complete overview of current solutions to combinatorial optimization problems. It also includes several chapters on important and emerging applications, such as disaster relief and green vehicle routing.

Book Synopsis Computerised Vehicle Routing and Scheduling in Road Transport by : Peter Eibl
Download or read book Computerised Vehicle Routing and Scheduling in Road Transport written by Peter Eibl and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past 20 years academics, industry commentators and practitioners in the field of physical distribution have been preoccupied with the computational and technical side of computerized vehicle routing and scheduling. Comparatively little research has been carried out on the user or management aspects of the technology. This study investigates the adoption of CVRS technology. Moreover, the study evaluates the success of the software used in both a strategic-tactical and in an operational role. The findings highlight that CVRS technology is used by only a relatively small number of organizations despite being an effective means to improve the efficiency of transport operations and to provide substantial intangible benefits.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents state-of-the-art research and practice in optimization routing, specifically the vehicle routing problem (VRP). Since its introduction in the late 1950s, the VRP has been a very significant area of research and practice in operations research. Vehicles are used to make deliveries and for pick-ups every day and everywhere. Companies such as Amazon, UPS, FedEx, and DHL use route optimization to reduce mileage, fuel use, number of trucks on the road, and carbon dioxide emissions. The authors compile and analyze 135 survey and review articles on vehicle routing topics published between 2005 and 2022 in an effort to make key observations about publication and trend history, summarize the overall contributions in the field, and identify trends in VRP research and practice. The authors have compiled published research on models, algorithms, and applications for specific areas, including: alternative and multiple objectives; arc routing and general routing; drones, last-mile delivery, and urban distribution; dynamic and stochastic routing; green routing; inventory routing; loading constraints; location-routing; multiple depots; pickup and delivery and dial-a-ride problems; rich and multi-attribute routing; routing over time; shipping; two-echelon, collaborative, and inter-terminal problems; specific variants, benchmark datasets, and software; and exact algorithms and heuristics. In addition, the book discusses how vehicle routing problems are among the most widely studied problems in combinatorial optimization due to the mathematical complexity and practical significance.
Book Synopsis Vehicle Routing Problem with Delivery Option by : Leo Halim
Download or read book Vehicle Routing Problem with Delivery Option written by Leo Halim and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rise of B2C (business to consumers) e-commerce has resulted in the growth of lastmile parcel delivery. On the consumer side, they are demanding faster, cheaper, and more convenient way of delivery. On the retailer side, both pure players and traditional retailers are evolving to stay relevant in this competitive market and capitalize on this trend. These pulling forces on both sides have put pressure on the couriers (third-party logistic providers) to improve the efficiency of last-mile delivery without sacrificing the customer service. Many options have been suggested to improve both the model and solution for vehicle routing and scheduling, such as multiple locations (in addition to home delivery) and time windows. In this paper, the option combining these two improvements is suggested. Adding this option gives the customer control when (time windows) and where (location) the parcels will be delivered, and consequently reduce the costly failed delivery. In classical VRPTW, there are multiple time windows, but delivery location is limited to one. In this paper Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows and Multiple Locations (VRPTWML) is introduced, where the options of multiple alternative locations are suggested. From the logistic providers' perspective, the Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows and Multiple Locations (VRPTWML) model is an extension of the classical Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows (VRPTW) model. To solve VRPTWML, a classical insertion heuristics solution is proposed. Hopefully, this endeavor will contribute in improving the last-mile process, while capturing customer value. The current trend of today's logistics is making this routing and scheduling problem an essential and critical one which logistic providers have to address. Keywords: VRPTW, Insertion Heuristics, Time Windows, Last-mile Delivery.
