Abstract
Lately, the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) in the city, known as City VRP, has gained popularity with its importance in city logistics. Similar to city logistics, City VRP mainly differs from conventional VRP in terms of the stakeholders involved, namely the shipper, carrier, resident, and administrator. Accordingly, this paper surveys the City VRP literature categorized by stakeholders and summarizes the constraints, models, and solution methods for VRP in urban cities. City VRPs are also analyzed based on the problem of interest considered by the stakeholders and the corresponding models that have been proposed in response. Through this review, we identify the state of the art of City VRP, highlight the core challenging issues, and suggest some potential research area in this field that have remained underexplored.

Online Vehicle Routing With Neural Combinatorial Optimization and Deep Reinforcement Learning

TL;DR: This paper transforms the online routing problem to a vehicle tour generation problem, and proposes a structural graph embedded pointer network to develop these tours iteratively and shows that the proposed strategy can significantly outperform conventional strategies with limited computation time in both static and dynamic logistic systems.

Operational Planning of Electric Vehicles for Balancing Wind Power and Load Fluctuations in a Microgrid

TL;DR: In this paper, the coordinated dispatch strategies of EVs to smooth renewable energy and load fluctuations of the microgrid while ensuring the quality of logistics services is studied. But the authors consider a grid-connected microgrid model which consists of a logistics distribution system, where electric vehicles (EVs) depart from the depot, deliver the goods to multiple demand loads, and then, return to the depot.
