This research applies the meta-heuristic method of ant colony optimization (ACO) to an established set of vehicle routing problems (VRP). The procedure simulates the decision-maki...
The multi-vehicle covering tour problem is de"ned on a graph G"(<6=, E), where = is a set of vertices that must collectively be covered by up to m vehicles. The probl...

In this paper, we introduce the generalized capacitated tree-routing problem (GCTR), which is described as follows. Given a connected graph G = (V, E) with a sink s V and a set M...
In the paper we address the Distance-Constrained Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (DCVRP), where k minimum-cost routes through a central depot have to be constructed so as to co...

Abstract. We consider the train delivery problem which is a generalization of the bin packing problem and is equivalent to a one dimensional version of the vehicle routing problem ...
