TL;DR: An improved particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is presented to tackle the model formulation by assigning distribution centers to distribution units, and a Shapley value model based on cooperative game theory is proposed to obtain the optimal profit allocation strategy among distribution centers from nonempty coalitions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), Transportation Northwest (TransNow) at the University of Washington (UWUW), and the Washington Trucking Associations (WTA) have partnered on a research effort to collect and analyze GPS truck data from commercial, in-vehicle, truck fleet management systems used in the central Puget Sound region.

TL;DR: The results indicate the approach performs very well to identify similar customer groups and incorporate individual customer's service priority into VRP.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper presented a comprehensive algorithm to address the multiple distribution center locations (MDCLs) problem using fuzzy integration and clustering approach using the improved axiomatic fuzzy set (AFS) theory.

TL;DR: This work develops a new type of problem scenario: Multi-Trip Multi-Pickup and Delivery Problem with Time Windows, to describe CBRDP by simultaneously optimizing the operating cost and passenger profit, where excess travel time is introduced to estimate passenger extra cost compared with taxi service.
