Green Logistics has emerged as the new agenda item in supply chain management. The
traditional objective of distribution management has been upgraded to minimizing system …

Cluster-first route-second methods like the sweep heuristic (Gillett and Miller, 1974) are well
known in vehicle routing. They determine clusters of customers compatible with vehicle …

Over the past few years, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), also known as drones, have been
adopted as part of a new logistic method in the commercial sector called “last-mile delivery” …

The Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) was introduced 50 years ago by Dantzig and Ramser
under the title “The Truck Dispatching Problem.” The study of the VRP has given rise to …

The attributes of vehicle routing problems are additional characteristics or constraints that
aim to better take into account the specificities of real applications. The variants thus formed …

This paper introduces an artificial bee colony heuristic for solving the capacitated vehicle
routing problem. The artificial bee colony heuristic is a swarm-based heuristic, which mimics …

This study proposes the Hybrid Vehicle Routing Problem (HVRP), which is an extension of
the Green Vehicle Routing Problem (G-VRP). We focus on vehicles that use a hybrid power …

This paper deals with the Heterogeneous Fleet Vehicle Routing Problem (HFVRP). The
HFVRP is NP-hard since it is a generalization of the classical Vehicle Routing Problem …

This paper introduces a parallel iterated tabu search heuristic for solving four different
routing problems: the classical vehicle routing problem (VRP), the periodic VRP, the multi …

Usually in a genetic algorithm, individual solutions do not evolve during their lifetimes: they
are created, evaluated, they may be selected as parents to new solutions and they are …
