In recent years, reducing emissions has been important for mitigating global warming and the effects of traffic congestion. As a variant of the green vehicle routing problem (GVRP), the time-dependent GVRP with time windows (TDGVRPTW) accounts for both time-dependent travel …
In developing countries, 40 percent of fresh fruits and vegetables are generally transported through nonrefrigerated vehicles and perishes before use, and wholesalers lose potential profits due to item rot. Here, a wholesaler’s conveyance with fresh goods starts from a depot …
Urban on-demand transportation services are booming in both passenger transportation and the transportation of goods. The types of service differ in timeliness and compensation and, until now, providers operate larger fleets separately for each type of service. While this may …
Logistics enterprises are moving towards high efficiency and green. As an emerging technology, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV, also known as drone) is very useful to cope with flexible and fast delivery. Electric vehicles (EVs), as new energy vehicles, are the …
Many companies that conduct a perishable product delivery face a practical problem when an increasingly congested road setting exists. An inappropriate routing scheme not only leads to higher delivery costs but also results in customers’ dissatisfaction. The previous literature paid …
This paper studies a time-dependent green vehicle routing problem (TDGVRP) with the consideration of traffic congestion. In this work, the objective is to design the vehicle scheduling plan, with the goal of reducing carbon emissions, which has a positive linear …
Hazardous material transportation is an integral part of industries that pose significant risks. Hazardous material transportation risk of is proportional to the volume of materials transferred, the length of the link, and the population density, which varies over time. By …
© 2013 IEEE.Fleet management plays a central role in several application contexts such as distribution planning, mail delivery, garbage collection, salt gritting, field service routing. Since road congestion has a big impact on driving times, fleet management can be enhanced …
© 2022 The Author(s)We study an operational planning problem arising in the offshore oil and gas industry, in which we determine routes, as well as sailing speeds along these routes, for a set of platform supply vessels (PSVs) servicing a …
Motivated by some practical applications of post-disaster supply delivery, we study a multi-trip time-dependent vehicle routing problem with split delivery (MTTDVRP-SD) with an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). This is a variant of the VRP that allows the UAV to travel …
