Over the past decades, the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) and its variants have grown ever
more popular in the academic literature. Yet, the problem characteristics and assumptions …

Vehicle routing problems have drawn researchers' attention for more than 50 years. Most
approaches found in the literature address these problems using the so‐called customer …

Travel times inside cities often vary quite a lot during a day and significantly impact the
duration of commercial delivery routes. Several authors have suggested time-dependent …

In this paper we propose a multigraph model and a heuristic for the Vehicle Routing
Problem with Time Windows (VRPTW). In the classical VRPTW, travel information is …

This paper investigates a new variant of the consistent vehicle routing problem considering
path consistency based on the underlying road network (ConVRP RN). It is the problem of …

Freight distribution with electric vehicles (EVs) is a promising alternative to reduce the
carbon footprint associated with city logistics. Algorithms for planning routes for EVs should …

Geographic information systems, global positioning systems, traffic flow sensors and cellular
phones are sources of real-time traffic data in road networks. However, many vehicle routing …

Vehicle routing problems (VRP) concern the pickup and/or the delivery of goods from/to
