The school bus routing problem (SBRP) is a challenging operations research problem that
has been studied by researchers for almost 50 years. SBRP publications address one or …

The idea of a smart city is one that utilises Internet-of-Things (IoT) technologies and data
analytics to optimise the efficiency of city operations and services, so as to provide a high …

In this paper, we present a survey on vehicle routing problems with multiple commodities. In
most routing problems, only one commodity is explicitly considered. This may be due to the …

1.1▪ Introduction A generic verbal definition of the family of vehicle routing problems can be
the following: Given: A set of transportation requests and a fleet of vehicles. The problem is …

Abstract The Traveling Purchaser Problem (TPP) has been one of the most studied
generalizations of the Traveling Salesman Problem. In recent decades, the TPP attracted the …

7.1▪ Introduction Modern societies demand transportation systems that offer high efficiency
and comfort but also minimal noise, pollution, cost, and delays. These requirements apply to …

In this article, we study the school bus routing and scheduling problem with transfers arising
in the field of nonperiodic public transportation systems. It deals with the transportation of …

The Multiple Vehicle Traveling Purchaser Problem describes a school bus routing problem
that combines bus stop selection and bus route generation. This problem aims at selecting a …

As a class of hard combinatorial optimization problems, the school bus routing problem has
received considerable attention in the last decades. For a multi-school system, given the bus …

A fuzzy capacitated location routing problem (FCLRP) is solved by using a heuristic method
that combines variable neighborhood search (VNS) and evolutionary local search (ELS) …
