It has been around 30 years since the heterogeneous vehicle routing problem was
introduced, and significant progress has since been made on this problem and its variants …

The purpose of this paper is to describe industrial aspects of combined fleet composition
and routing in maritime and road-based transportation, and to present the current status of …

This paper is a survey on the vehicle routing problems with split deliveries, a class of routing
problems where each customer may be served by more than one vehicle. Starting from the …

Cross-docking is an effective logistics strategy that has long been employed in supply
chains with perishable products, where short processing time of goods is required. In this …

Sampling approaches like Markov chain Monte Carlo were once popular for combinatorial
optimization, but the inefficiency of classical methods and the need for problem-specific …

We consider a family of rich vehicle routing problems (RVRP) which have the particularity to
combine a heterogeneous fleet with other attributes, such as backhauls, multiple depots …

In this paper, we consider the time-dependent multi-depot vehicle routing problem. The
objective is to minimize the total heterogeneous fleet cost assuming that the travel time …

One of the most important issues in managing a supply chain which makes the materials
flow more efficiently from suppliers to customers is cross docking. In this paper a vehicle …

We introduce new hybrid algorithms, DBSCAN Solver and Solution Partitioning Solver,
which use quantum annealing for solving Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) and its practical …

Abstract The Vehicle Routing Problem with Split Deliveries (VRPSD) is a decision model
that is increasingly used in practice to enhance the efficiency of last-mile distribution, an …
