Routing problems with loading constraints
06 Jul 2010 - Top

Abstract:

We consider difficult combinatorial optimization problems arising in transportation logistics when one is interested in optimizing both the routing of vehicles and the loading of goods into them. The separate problems (routing and loading) are already \(\mathcal{NP}\)-hard, and very difficult to solve in practice. A fortiori ... We consider difficult combinatorial optimization problems arising in transportation logistics when one is interested in optimizing both the routing of vehicles and the loading of goods into them. The separate problems (routing and loading) are already \(\mathcal{NP}\)-hard, and very difficult to solve in practice. A fortiori their combination is extremely challenging and stimulating. Although the specific literature is still quite limited, a first attempt to a systematic view of this field can be useful both to academic researchers and to practitioners. We review vehicle routing problems with two- and three-dimensional loading constraints. Other combinations of routing and special loading constraints arising from industrial applications are also considered. read more read less

Operations Research Games: a Survey

This paper surveys the research area of cooperative games associated with several types of operations research problems in which various decision makers (players) are involved. Cooperating players not only face a joint optimisation problem in trying, e.g., to minimise total joint costs, but also face an additional allocation problem in how to distribute these joint costs back to the individual players. This interplay between optimisation and allocation is the main subject of the area of operations research games. It is surveyed on the basis of a distinction between the nature of the underlying optimisation problem: connection, routing, scheduling, production and inventory. read more read less

In this paper we present a review of approximative solution methods, that is, heuristics and metaheuristics designed for the solution of multiobjective combinatorial optimization problems (MOCO). First, we discuss questions related to approximation in this context, such as performance ratios, bounds, and quality measures. We give some examples of heuristics proposed for the solution of MOCO problems. The main part of the paper covers metaheuristics and more precisely non-evolutionary methods. The pioneering methods and their derivatives are described in a unified way. We provide an algorithmic presentation of each of the methods together with examples of applications, extensions, and a bibliographic note. Finally, we outline trends in this area. read more read less

I spent hours with MS word for reformatting. It was frustrating - plain and simple. With SciSpace, I can draft my manuscripts and once it is finished I can just submit. In case, I have to submit to another journal it is really just a button click instead of an afternoon of reformatting.
