Metaheuristic algorithms have gradually become the mainstream way to solve complex
optimization problems with their streamlined structure and robust performance. Innovative …

The importance of drone delivery services is increasing. However, the operational aspects of
drone delivery services have not been studied extensively. Specifically, with respect to truck …

The home health care routing and scheduling problem (HHCRSP) consists of designing a
set of routes used by care workers to provide care to patients who live in the same …

This is a review of the literature on variants and extensions of the standard location-routing
problem published since the last survey, by Nagy and Salhi, appeared in 2006. We propose …

The inventory-routing problem (IRP) dates back 30 years. It can be described as the
combination of vehicle-routing and inventory management problems, in which a supplier …

Quantum computing (QC) has gained popularity due to its unique capabilities that are quite
different from that of classical computers in terms of speed and methods of operations. This …

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

The paper presents an efficient Hybrid Genetic Search with Advanced Diversity Control for a
large class of time-constrained vehicle routing problems, introducing several new features to …

Over the last years, several variants of multi-constrained Vehicle Routing Problems (VRPs)
have been studied, forming a class of problems known as Rich Vehicle Routing Problems …
