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 …

Research on dynamic and stochastic vehicle routing problems received increasing interest
in the last decade. It considers a novel problem class, aiming at an appropriate handling of …

Increasing concerns on energy use, emissions and food waste requires advanced models
for food logistics management. Our interest in this study is to analyse the benefits of …

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 …

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 …

In the e‐commerce era, vendors have to satisfy a large number of on‐line orders, mainly
from private customers, with low weight and volume, reduced delivery time, and overlap of …

The transition to sustainable food supply chain management has brought new key logistical
aims such as reducing food waste and environmental impacts of operations in the supply …

The production routing problem (PRP) combines the lot-sizing problem and the vehicle
routing problem, two classical problems that have been extensively studied for more than …

Building on the work of Gendreau et al.(Eur J Oper Res 88 (1): 3–12; 1996), we review the
past 20 years of scientific literature on stochastic vehicle routing problems. The numerous …
