The current global interest in improving the use of ever-scarcer natural resources calls for
the re-alignment of supply chain operations to include not only economic factors, but …

6.1▪ Introduction Pickup-and-Delivery Problems (PDPs) constitute an important family of
routing problems in which goods or passengers have to be transported from different origins …

Distributors are faced with loading constraints in their route planning, eg, multi-dimensional
packing constraints, unloading sequence constraints, stability constraints and axle weight …

Motivated by the problem situation faced by infrastructure service and maintenance
providers, we define the service technician routing and scheduling problem with and without …

In this paper we introduce the vehicle routing problem with simultaneous pickup and
delivery and handling costs (VRPSPD-H). In the VRPSPD-H, a fleet of vehicles operates …

The purpose of this paper is to provide basic models for highly relevant extensions of the
classical vehicle routing problem in the context of supply chain management. The classical …

In this paper, we extend the classical Pickup and Delivery Problem (PDP) to an integrated
routing and three-dimensional loading problem, called PDP with three-dimensional loading …

This paper proposes models and algorithms for the pickup and delivery vehicle routing
problem with time windows and multiple stacks. Each stack is rear-loaded and is operated in …

This paper introduces the pickup and delivery traveling salesman problem with handling
costs (PDTSPH). In the PDTSPH, a single vehicle has to transport loads from origins to …

We extend the traveling salesman problem with pickup and delivery and LIFO loading
(TSPPDL) by considering two additional factors, namely the use of multiple vehicles and a …
