Static pickup and delivery problems: a classification scheme and survey

TLDR
A general framework to model a large collection of pickup and delivery problems, as well as a three-field classification scheme for these problems, is introduced.
Abstract
Pickup and delivery problems constitute an important class of vehicle routing problems in which objects or people have to be collected and distributed. This paper introduces a general framework to model a large collection of pickup and delivery problems, as well as a three-field classification scheme for these problems. It surveys the methods used for solving them.

Solving the Mixed Backhauling Vehicle Routing: Problem with Ants

TL;DR: The mixed vehicle routing problem with backhauls is investigated using ant system heuristic, with a focus on the choice in the placement of ants, the use of site-dependent candidate list, and appropriate strategies for updating local and global trails.

TL;DR: The VIPAFLEET project develops and installs a dynamic fleet management system that allows the operator to switch between the differ- ent modes within the different periods of the day according to the dynamic transportation demands of the users.

Reliability Analysis of Centralized Versus Decentralized Zoning Strategies for Paratransit Services

Wei Lu, +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a quantitative study evaluating the paratransit service reliability under different zoning strategies is yet to be found, however, the authors provided a framework for par-ransit agencies to evaluate the service reliability of different organizational strategies through the simulation method.

Computers and Intractability: A Guide to the Theory of NP-Completeness

TL;DR: The second edition of a quarterly column as discussed by the authors provides a continuing update to the list of problems (NP-complete and harder) presented by M. R. Garey and myself in our book "Computers and Intractability: A Guide to the Theory of NP-Completeness,” W. H. Freeman & Co., San Francisco, 1979.

Self-organized formation of topologically correct feature maps

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a self-organizing system in which the signal representations are automatically mapped onto a set of output responses in such a way that the responses acquire the same topological order as that of the primary events.
