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...
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...

Modern software control systems must cope with uncertainty, manage dynamic environments, as well as provide greater flexibility. Distributed agent-based control systems are the id...
An alternate formulation of the classical vehicle routing problem with stochastic demands (VRPSD) is considered. We propose a new heuristic method to solve the problem. The algori...
In this paper we review the exact algorithms proposed in the last three decades for the solution of the vehicle routing problem with time windows (VRPTW). The exact algorithms for...
