Vehicle Routing Problems for Drone Delivery

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose two multi-trip vehicle routing problems (VRPs) specifically for drone delivery scenarios, one minimizes costs subject to a delivery time limit, while the other minimizes the overall delivery time subject to budget constraint.

Routing a mixed fleet of electric and conventional vehicles

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed an Adaptive Large Neighborhood Search algorithm that is enhanced by a local search for intensification to optimize the routing of a mixed fleet of electric commercial vehicles and conventional internal combustion commercial vehicles (ICCVs).

Partial recharge strategies for the electric vehicle routing problem with time windows

TL;DR: This paper forms this problem as a 0–1 mixed integer linear program and develops an Adaptive Large Neighborhood Search (ALNS) algorithm to solve it efficiently and shows that the proposed method is effective in finding high quality solutions and the partial recharging option may significantly improve the routing decisions.

Exact Algorithms for Electric Vehicle-Routing Problems with Time Windows

TL;DR: Four variants of the electric vehicle-routing problem with time windows are considered, and it is found that all four variants are solvable for instances with up to 100 customers and 21 recharging stations.

Algorithms for the vehicle routing and scheduling problems with time window constraints

TL;DR: This paper considers the design and analysis of algorithms for vehicle routing and scheduling problems with time window constraints and finds that several heuristics performed well in different problem environments; in particular an insertion-type heuristic consistently gave very good results.

An Adaptive Large Neighborhood Search Heuristic for the Pickup and Delivery Problem with Time Windows

TL;DR: This paper presents a heuristic for the pickup and delivery problem based on an extension of the large neighborhood search heuristic previously suggested for solving the vehicle routing problem with time windows that is very robust and is able to adapt to various instance characteristics.
