The typical inventory routing problem deals with the repeated distribution of a single product from a single facility with an unlimited supply to a set of customers that can all b...
Abstract. In this paper the author presents three approaches to parallel Tabu Search, applied to several instances of the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem with soft Time Windows...
Vehicle routing problem (VRP) is a well-known combinatorial optimization and nonlinear programming problem seeking to service a number of customers with a fleet of vehicles. This ...
A multi-agent VRP solver is presented in this paper. It utilizes the contract-net protocol based allocation and several improvement strategies. It provides the solution with the q...
Time considerations have been largely ignored in the study of vehicle routing problems with stochastic demands, even though they are crucial in practice. We show that tour duratio...
