TL;DR: A hybrid approach, which consists of ant colony optimization (ACO) and Tabu search, to solve the vehicle routing problem with time windows and results show that considering the tradeoff of quality and computation time, the hybrid algorithm is a competitive approach for VRPTW.
Abstract: Vehicle routing problem with time windows (VRPTW) is a well-known combinatorial problem. Many researches have presented meta-heuristics are effective approaches for VRPTW. This paper proposes a hybrid approach, which consists of ant colony optimization (ACO) and Tabu search, to solve the problem. To improve the performance of ACO, a neighborhood search is introduced. Furthermore, when ACO is close to the convergence Tabu search is used to maintain the diversity of ACO and explore new solutions. Computational experiments are reported for a set of the Solomon's 56 VRPTW and the approach is compared with some meta-heuristic published in literature. Results show that considering the tradeoff of quality and computation time, the hybrid algorithm is a competitive approach for VRPTW.

TL;DR: A parallel genetic algorithm (PGA), in which a coarse-grained strategy and a local search algorithm based on Tabu search are applied to improve the performance of genetic algorithm, is developed to solve the headway optimization model.
Abstract: In this paper, a model for optimizing bus route headway is presented in a given network configuration and demand matrix, which aims to find an acceptable balance between passenger costs and operator costs, namely the maximization of service quality and the minimization of operational costs An integrated approach is also proposed in the paper to determine the relative weights between passenger costs and operator costs A parallel genetic algorithm (PGA), in which a coarse-grained strategy and a local search algorithm based on Tabu search are applied to improve the performance of genetic algorithm, is developed to solve the headway optimization model Data collected in Dalian City, China, is used to verify the feasibility of the model and the algorithm Results show that the reasonable resource assessment can increase the benefits of transit system

TL;DR: The purpose is to review the most up-to-date state-of-the-art of GVRP, discuss how the traditional VRP variants can interact with G VRP and offer an insight into the next wave of research into GVRp.
Abstract: Green Logistics has emerged as the new agenda item in supply chain management. The traditional objective of distribution management has been upgraded to minimizing system-wide costs related to economic and environmental issues. Reflecting the environmental sensitivity of vehicle routing problems (VRP), an extensive literature review of Green Vehicle Routing Problems (GVRP) is presented. We provide a classification of GVRP that categorizes GVRP into Green-VRP, Pollution Routing Problem, VRP in Reverse Logistics, and suggest research gaps between its state and richer models describing the complexity in real-world cases. The purpose is to review the most up-to-date state-of-the-art of GVRP, discuss how the traditional VRP variants can interact with GVRP and offer an insight into the next wave of research into GVRP. It is hoped that OR/MS researchers together with logistics practitioners can be inspired and cooperate to contribute to a sustainable industry.
