Vehicle routing problems have been the focus of extensive research over the past sixty
years, driven by their economic importance and their theoretical interest. The diversity of …

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 …

This paper studies the well-known capacitated vehicle routing problem with two-dimensional
loading constraints (2L-CVRP). It requires designing a set of min-cost routes, starting and …

Production scheduling and vehicle routing are two well-studied problems in literature.
Although these supply chain functions are interrelated, they are often solved sequentially …

We survey the main formulations and solution methods for two-dimensional orthogonal
cutting and packing problems, where both items and bins are rectangles. We focus on exact …

Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) are an unmanned transport system used for the
horizontal movement of materials. The dispatching and routing problem (DRP) for AGV …

Among the many extensions of the classical capacitated vehicle routing problem, multi-
compartment vehicle routing problems have been studied extensively only in recent years …

Abstract The Split Delivery Vehicle Routing Problem with three-dimensional loading
constraints (3L-SDVRP) combines vehicle routing and three-dimensional loading with …

This work describes the operational load planning problems of air cargo carriers. In the
literature the term air cargo loading is used ambiguously for different subproblems that …

In this paper we introduce the vehicle routing problem with simultaneous pickup and
delivery and handling costs (VRPSPD-H). In the VRPSPD-H, a fleet of vehicles operates …
