A Queueing Framework for Routing Problems with Time-dependent Travel Times

Assigning and scheduling vehicle routes in a dynamic environment is a crucial management problem. Despite numerous publications dealing with efficient scheduling methods for vehicle routing, very few addressed the inherent stochastic and dynamic nature of travel times. In this paper, a vehicle routing problem with time-dependent travel times due to potential traffic congestion is considered. The approach developed introduces the traffic congestion component based on queueing theory. This is an innovative modelling scheme to capture the stochastic behavior of travel times as it generates an analytical expression for the expected travel times as well as for the variance of the travel times. Routing solutions that perform well in the face of the extra complications due to congestion are developed. These more realistic solutions have the potential to reduce real operating costs for a broad range of industries which daily face routing problems. A number of datasets are used to illustrate the appropriateness of the novel approach. Moreover it is shown that static (or time-independent) solutions are often infeasible within a congested traffic environment which is generally the case on European road networks. Finally, the effect of travel time variability (obtained via the queueing approach) is quantified for the different datasets.      

Dynamic transport scheduling under multiple resource constraints

This paper presents a heuristic for the dynamic vehicle scheduling problem with multiple resource capacity constraints. In the envisaged application, an automated transport system using Automated Guided Vehicles, bottleneck resources are (1) vehicles, (2) docks for loading/unloading, (3) vehicle parking places, and (4) load storage space. This problem is hard, because interrelated activities (loading, transportation, unloading) at several geographical locations have to be scheduled under multiple resource constraints, where the bottleneck resource varies over time. Besides, the method should be suitable for real-time planning. We developed a dedicated serial scheduling method and analyzed its dynamic behavior using discrete event simulation. We found that our method is very well able to find good vehicle schedules satisfying all resource constraints. For comparison, we used a simple approach where we left out the resource constraints and extended the processing times by statistically estimated waiting times to account for finite capacities. We found that our newly designed method finds better schedules in terms of service levels.

Economic lot sizes and vehicle scheduling

In this paper a relationship between the vehicle scheduling problem and the dynamic lot size problem is considered. For the latter problem we assume that order quantities for different products can be determined separately. Demand is known over our n-period production planning horizon. For a certain product our task is to decide for each period if it should be produced or not. If it is produced, what is its economic lot size? Our aim here is to minimize the combined set-up and inventory holding costs. The optimal solution of this problem is given by the well-known Wagner-Whitin dynamic lot size algorithm. Also many heuristics for solving this problem have been presented. In this article we point out the analogy of the dynamic lot size problem to a certain vehicle scheduling problem. For solving vehicle scheduling problems the heuristic algorithm developed by Clark and Wright in very often used. Applying this algorithm to the equivalent vehicle scheduling problem we obtain by analogy a simple heuristic algorithm for the dynamic lot size problem. Numerical results indicate that computation time is reduced by about 50% compared to the Wagner-Whitin algorithm. The average cost appears to be approximately 0.8% higher than optimum.

Numerical and experimental investigation on stochastic dynamic load of a heavy duty vehicle

Numerical simulation and field test are used to investigate tire dynamic load. Based on multi-body dynamics theory, a nonlinear virtual prototype model of heavy duty vehicle (DFL1250A9) is modeled. The geometric structural parameters of the vehicle system, the nonlinear characteristics of shock absorber and leaf springs are precisely described. The dynamic model is validated by testing the data, including vertical acceleration of driver seat, front wheel, intermediate wheel and rear wheel axle head. The agreement between the response of the virtual vehicle model and the measurements on the test vehicle is satisfactory. Using the reliable model, the effects of vehicle speed, load, road surface roughness and tire stiffness on tire dynamic load and dynamic load coefficient (DLC) are discussed. The results demonstrate that the proposed model can offer efficient and realistic simulation for stochastic dynamic loads, so as to investigate vehicle road-friendliness.     

A heuristic algorithm for a dial-a-ride problem with time windows,multiple capacities,and multiple objectives

The paper describes a system for the solution of a static dial-a-ride routing and scheduling problem with time windows (DARPTW). The problem statement and initialization of the development project was made by the Copenhagen Fire-Fighting Service (CFFS). The CFFS needed a new system for scheduling elderly and disabled persons, involving about 50.000 requests per year. The problem is characterized by, among other things, multiple capacities and multiple objectives. The capacities refer to the fact that a vehicle may be equipped with e.g. normal seats, children seats or wheel chair places. The objectives relate to a number of concerns such as e.g. short driving time, high vehicle utilization or low costs. A solution algorithm REBUS based on an insertion heuristics was developed. The algorithm permits in a flexible way weighting of the various goals such that the solution reflects the user's preferences. The algorithm is implemented in a dynamic environment intended for on-line scheduling. Thus, a new request for service is treated in less than 1 second, permitting an interactive user interface.     

The study of a dynamic dial-a-ride problem under time-dependent and stochastic environments

This paper studies a dynamic dial-a-ride problem bearing complex constraints on a time-dependent network. A flexible scheduling scheme is proposed to dynamically cope with different stochastic events, such as the travelling time fluctuation, new requests, absences of customers, vehicle breakdowns, cancellations of requests, traffic jams and so on. A fast heuristic is proposed to re-optimize the schedule when a new event occurs. This heuristic consists of a properly organized local search strategy and uses a secondary objective function to drive the search out of local optima. Intensive computational simulations were carried out to evaluate the performance of this scheduling scheme and the influence of different stochastic factors. The simulation results of different scenarios with different percentage of dynamic requests reveal that this scheduling scheme can generate high quality schedules and is capable of coping with various stochastic events.
