The vehicle routing Sample Clauses

The vehicle routing problem (VRP) Vehicle routing problems are applied as a collective term that includes important problems within the fields of transportation, distribution and logistics. Even though conditions vary from one setting to the next, these problems are faced daily by companies and organizations worldwide. The VRP was first introduced by Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxx [14] and has since been one of the most widely studied problems in combinatorial optimization. Figure 3.1 is inspired by Xxxx and Vigo [52] and illustrates the huge number of variants of the basic problem. Extensions of the basic problems of VRP are discussed in the section 3.3.2. Much progress has been made since the earliest publications and several strong formulations, polyhedral studies and exact algorithms have been proposed. Smaller prototype problems are often basis for development of algorithm research and software. However, by implementing sufficient flexibility, most algorithms can be adapted and applied into other practical contexts. Moreover, a large number of heuristics have also been developed. [12] The VRP consists of designing the optimal set of routes, with consideration to three important aspects: every route starts and ends at the depot, all customers are visited exactly once, and the demand of a vehicle route cannot exceed the capacity of the vehicle. [30] Finding exact solutions for the classical VRP and extensional variants are hard to obtain. This makes it desirable to develop fast and accurate heuristics that both coincide with the objectives and computes the problems within sufficient terms. The literature emphasizes three types of solution methods that manage VRP: Manual planning The planners use their own knowledge as a planning tool to compose and improve new routes. These routes are often as good as routes based on modeling, but restricted by the size of the problem. Manual planning is based on a mix of gained experience and former optimization process. Exact solutions based on mathematical models Modeling is a mathematical description of the reality, based on re-structured deterministic data. Predetermined simplifications are made in order to adapt into a real world situation. Exact algorithms can find the optimal solution. Those techniques, Branch & Bound [53] and Branch & Cut [40] etc., are very restricted and can only be used to solve small problems, approximately up to 100 nodes. Heuristics Heuristics, defined by Pearl [41], are “strategies using readily accessible, though loos...

If using the mileage of an online mapping service, state which mapping service was used or provide a printout of your route detailing the mileage. For local travel, odometer readings or mapping service details are not required. Departments should develop a mileage guide for employees for local travel points, if a department does not have a mileage guide, the Auditor’s Office will determine if the mileage listed is reasonable.
