01 Oct 2015TL;DR: A model of the electric and fuel-engined vehicle routing problem (EFVRP) and a column generation approach for the EFVRP are proposed and experiments compare the results obtained using the model and algorithm with their lower bounds.
Abstract: Electric vehicles have recently received attention due to the environmental and financial implication. However, they are still not popular because of their inconvenience, limited battery capacities and long recharge times. In order to grow popular of electric vehicles, several studies in the field of optimization have been engaged. One of the studies is routing problem for energy-optimized driving. In this paper, we deal with the electric and fuel-engined vehicle routing problem (EFVRP), this problem is a type of the vehicle routing problem where we use electric vehicles and fuel-engined vehicles (e.g. Gasoline-powered vehicles). We model the EFVRP and propose a column generation approach for the EFVRP. Experiments compare the results obtained using our model and algorithm with their lower bounds.

21 Jul 2015TL;DR: This paper discusses an optimization method with two acquisition functions that improves the efficiency of global optimization when the number of evaluations is strictly limited.
Abstract: Computer experiments are black-box functions that are expensive to evaluate. One solution to expensive
black-box optimization is Bayesian optimization with Gaussian processes. This approach is popularly used in
this challenge, and it is efficient when the number of evaluations is limited by cost and time constraints, which
is generally true in practice. This paper discusses an optimization method with two acquisition functions. Our
new method improves the efficiency of global optimization when the number of evaluations is strictly limited.
