Title: | Pickup and delivery selection: problem formulation and extension to problem variants | Authors: | RAMAEKERS, Katrien CARIS, An MAES, Tabitha JANSSENS, Gerrit K. |
Issue Date: | 2015 | Source: | Information Technology and Management Science, 2015(18), p. 84-90 | Abstract: | Operational planning decisions of a carrier consist of accepting transport requests and constructing vehicle routes. However, a carrier has only a limited capacity within his own vehicle fleet and can only serve a selection of clients. Transport requests are accepted only if they contribute to a higher total profit. This practical aspect is modelled with the Pickup and Delivery with selection of customers. A mixed-integer programming formulation is given. It is indicated how the problem is solved by means of a meta-heuristic, more specifically a tabu-embedded simulated annealing algorithm. A number of alternative settings may appear in practice. They are discussed in this article. | Keywords: | heursistic algorithms; operations research; optimisation; vehicle routing | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/21984 | ISSN: | 2255-9094 | DOI: | 10.1515/itms-2015-0013 | Rights: | © 2015 Katrien Ramaekers, An Caris, Tabitha Maes and Gerrit K.
