Electrification of bus fleets in most cities is expected to rise due to its significant
environmental benefits. However, electric buses have limited driving range and long …

This paper presents a review of staff scheduling and rostering, an area that has become
increasingly important as business becomes more service oriented and cost conscious in a …

We review research on ship routing and scheduling and related problems during the new
millennium and provide four basic models in this domain. The volume of research in this …

A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO OPTIMIZATION PROBLEMS WITH DISCRETE OR INTEGER
VARIABLES, REVISED AND UPDATED The revised second edition of Integer Programming …

The projects of reediting the Toth and Vigo book on vehicle routing and of editing a book on
arc routing germinated during the ROUTE Conference in Sitges, Spain, in June 2011. The …

We propose an algorithmic framework that successfully addresses three vehicle routing
problems: the multidepot VRP, the periodic VRP, and the multidepot periodic VRP with …

We discuss formulations of integer programs with a huge number of variables and their
solution by column generation methods, ie, implicit pricing of nonbasic variables to generate …

Constraint programming is a powerful paradigm for solving combinatorial search problems
that draws on a wide range of techniques from artificial intelligence, computer science …

This paper presents a survey of the research on the vehicle routing problem with time
windows (VRPTW). The VRPTW can be described as the problem of designing least cost …

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 …
