Vehicle routing problems (VRPs) are among the most studied problems in operations
research. Nowadays, the leading exact algorithms for solving many classes of VRPs are …

Publisher Summary Time constrained routing and scheduling problems are encountered in
a variety of industrial and service sector applications, ranging from logistics and …

Resource transport in the aftermath of disasters is critical, yet in the absence of sufficient
historical data or accurate forecasting approaches, the development of resource transport …

Effective route planning for battery electric commercial vehicle (ECV) fleets has to take into
account their limited autonomy and the possibility of visiting recharging stations during the …

Major advances were recently obtained in the exact solution of vehicle routing problems
(VRPs). Sophisticated branch-cut-and-price (BCP) algorithms for some of the most classical …

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 …

Vehicle routing attributes are extra characteristics and decisions that complement the
academic problem formulations and aim to properly account for real-life application needs …

This paper presents a survey of vehicle routing problems with multiple synchronization
constraints. These problems exhibit, in addition to the usual task covering constraints, further …

Dantzig-Wolfe decomposition and column generation, devised for linear programs, is a
success story in large-scale integer programming. We outline and relate the approaches …

This paper is the second part of a comprehensive survey on routing problems involving
pickups and deliveries. Basically, two problem classes can be distinguished. The first part …
