Abstract. This paper presents a Parallel Hybrid Evolutionary Metaheuristic for the Period Vehicle Routing Problem PVRP. The PRVP generalizes the classical Vehicle Routing Problem b...
The main purpose of this study is to find out a good solution to the vehicle routing problem considering heterogeneous vehicles. This problem tries to solve the generation of paths...
The Vehicle Routing Problem’s main objective is to find the lowest-cost set of routes to deliver goods to customers, which have a service time window, using a fleet of identic...
The Vehicle Routing Problem can be seen as a fusion of two well known combinatorial problems, the Travelling Salesman Problem and Bin Packing Problem. It has several variants, the...
This paper presents a column generation heuristic for the general vehicle routing problem (GVRP), a combined load acceptance and rich vehicle routing problem incorporating various ...
A parallel simulated annealing algorithm to solve the vehicle routing problem with time windows is presented. The objective is to find the best possible solutions to some wellkno...
In the open route version of the well-known vehicle routing problem, vehicles are not required to return to the depot; or if they are required, then they return by traveling the sa...
Genetic Algorithms (GAs) can efficiently produce high quality results for hard combinatorial real world problems such as the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP). Genetic Vehicle Represe...
We present some proposals to approximately solve a period vehicle routing problem used to model the extraction of oil from a set of onshore oil wells in Brazil. This problem diffe...
