Recently, a taxonomic review of the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) literature published
between 2009 and June 2015 stated that most of the surveyed articles use metaheuristics …

In this study, we consider a canonical vehicle routing problem (VRP) in the cold chain
logistic system, where three special constraints are included, ie, the dispatching time …

For dynamic multi-objective vehicle routing problems, the waiting time of vehicle, the number
of serving vehicles, and the total distance of routes were normally considered as the …

Effective solutions to the hazardous material location and routing problem are of practical
significance, for both logistics companies and government departments. However, most …

Modern logistics receives increasing attention for planning and scheduling operations of
transport systems that have to be resource efficient and environmentally sustainable. This …

The vehicle routing problem for waste recycling has been created to improve resource
