1. 1. Customizable Contraction Hierarchies for Mixed Fleet Vehicle Routing : Fast weight customization when not adhering to triangle inequality

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

   Author : Martin Larsson; [2023]
   Keywords : Contraction Hierarchies; Customizable Contraction Hierarchies; Vehicle Routing Problem; Battery Electric Vehicles; Mixed Fleet; Kontraktionshierarkier; Anpassningsbara Kontraktionshierarkier; Ruttplanering; Batteridrivna elfordon; Blandad fordonsflotta;

   Abstract : As the transport industry shifts towards Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) the need for accurate route planning rises. BEVs have reduced range compared to traditional fuel based vehicles, and the range can vary greatly depending on ambient conditions and vehicle load. READ MORE

3. 2. When is Electric Freight Cost Competitive? : Computational modeling and simulation of total cost of ownership for electric truck fleets

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för ekonomisk och industriell utveckling

   Author : Anton Zackrisson; [2023]
   Keywords : electric freight; battery-electric trucks; total cost of ownership; decision making under deep uncertainty DMDU ; cost-competitiveness; exploratory modeling and analysis EMA ; EMA workbench; quasi-Monte Carlo method; VRP; EVRP; elektrifiering; godstransport; elektriska lastbilar; total ägandekostnad; kostnadskonkurrenskraft; ruttoptimering;

   Abstract : Battery electric trucks (BETs) offer environmental benefits in terms of reduced carbon emissions and enhanced energy efficiency but have been challenged with economic viability compared to conventional internal combustion engine trucks (ICETs) caused by substantial acquisition costs, limited charging infrastructure, and concerns regarding range and payload capacity.  Previous studies focus on TCO at the vehicle or policy level but overlook the system and firm-level impacts.

4. 3. Modelling and Optimization of Simultaneous Froward- and Reverse Logistics as Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem : An optimization simulation model problem

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

   Author : Md Kamrul Islam; [2022]
   Keywords : Optimization; Last-mile delivery; VRP; Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem; Green Vehicle Routing Problem; CO2 emissions.;

   Abstract : Environmental issues are a vital concern in today’s world. The Swedish government and local businesses are developing a sustainable business and eco-friendly environment for city inhabitants. Last-mile pickup and delivery services are a key concern, which significantly impacts the environment and society. READ MORE

5. 4. A practical framework for the electric vehicle routing problem

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för reglerteknik

   Author : Johan Hellmark; [2022]
   Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The routing of a delivery fleet is a classical optimization problem, known as the vehicle routing problem (VRP), which can heavily impact the quality of a logistic distribution process. Historically, the VRP formulation has mainly included internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs). READ MORE

6. 5. An Optimization Model for Electric Vehicle Routing with Tractor Swapping

   University essay from KTH/Matematik (Avd.)

   Author : Alexander Strid; Daniel Liu; [2022]
   Keywords : Vehicle Routing Problem VRP ; tractor swapping; electric VRP; rich VRP; heavy goods vehicles; mixed-integer linear programming MILP ; applied mathematics; ruttoptimering; traktorbyte; elektriska lastbilar; tunga lastbilar; linjär heltalsoptimering; tillämpad matematik;

   Abstract : The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how tractor swapping can be implemented in Vehicle Routing Problems (VRP) with electric heavy goods vehicles, and to evaluate how a model that allows for tractor swapping performs, in terms of schedule cost, against a model that does not. Hence, this thesis introduces a new rich VRP variant which includes tractor swapping, as well as time windows, pickup and delivery, and electric vehicles. READ MORE
