  3. 2. A New Approach for Solving the Disruption in Vehicle Routing Problem During the Delivery : A Comparative Analysis of VRP Meta-Heuristics

    University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Institutionen för datavetenskap

    Author : Sai Chandana Kaja; [2020]
    Keywords : Vehicle Routing Problem; Disruption; Vehicle breakdown; Solution algorithms; Meta-heuristics; Tabu Search.;

    Abstract : Context. The purpose of this research paper is to describe a new approach for solving the disruption in the vehicle routing problem (DVRP) which deals with the disturbance that will occur unexpectedly within the distribution area when executing the original VRP plan. READ MORE

  4. 3. Environmental Impact of E-Commerce Logistics : When is Home Delivery More Efficient than Collection-Delivery Points?

    University essay from KTH/Systemanalys och ekonomi

    Author : Thed Kerrén; [2019]
