Path relinking for the vehicle routing problem

This paper describes a tabu search heuristic with path relinking for the vehicle routing problem. Tabu search is a local search method that explores the solution space more thoroughly than other local search based methods by overcoming local optima. Path relinking is a method to integrate intensification and diversification in the search. It explores paths that connect previously found elite solutions. Computational results show that tabu search with path relinking is superior to pure tabu search on the vehicle routing problem.

Designing delivery districts for the vehicle routing problem with stochastic demands

This paper considers the problem of designing districts for vehicle routing problems with stochastic demands. In particular, demands are assumed to be uncertain at the time when the districts are made, and these are revealed only after the districting decisions are determined. Tabu search and multistart heuristics for this stochastic districting problem are developed and compared. Computational results show that tabu search is superior over multistart.     

A tabu search heuristic for the vehicle routing problem with private fleet and common carrier

This paper describes a tabu search heuristic for a vehicle routing problem where the owner of a private fleet can either visit a customer with one of his vehicles or assign the customer to a common carrier. The owner’s objective is to minimize the variable and fixed costs for operating his fleet plus the total costs charged by the common carrier. The proposed tabu search is shown to outperform the best approach reported in the literature on 34 benchmark instances with a homogeneous fleet.     

A tabu search heuristic for the dynamic transportation of patients between care units

The problem studied in this paper stems from a real application to the transportation of patients in the Hospital Complex of Tours (France). The ambulance central station of the Hospital Complex has to plan the transportation demands between care units which require a vehicle. Some demands are known in advance and the others arise dynamically. Each demand requires a specific type of vehicle and a vehicle can transport only one person at a time. The demands can be subcontracted to a private company which implies high cost. Moreover, transportations are subject to particular constraints, among them priority of urgent demands, disinfection of a vehicle after the transportation of a patient with contagious disease and respect of the type of vehicle needed. These characteristics involve a distinction between the vehicles and the crews during the modeling phase. We propose a modeling for solving this difficult problem and a tabu search algorithm inspired by Gendreau et al. (1999). This method supports an adaptive memory and a tabu search procedure. Computational experiments on a real-life instance and on randomly generated instances show that the method can provide high-quality solutions for this dynamic problem with a short computation time.     

A Neural-Tabu Search Heuristic for the Real Time Vehicle Routing Problem

The Real Time Vehicle Routing Problem RTVRP is a dynamic routing problem where requests are generated dynamically during the operation horizon without any previous knowledge. Received requests need to be answered as fast as possible and then assigned to a vehicle to be served. Due to timing constraints of the RTVRP, a solving approach should give the best compromise between the cost of the provided solution and the computation time needed to find it. In this paper, we present a neural-tabu search solving scheme for the RTVRP. The developed approach is composed by two phases; The first part consists of learning and reproducing previous routing decisions using a feed forward neural network with a particular structure. The second phase is based on a tabu search heuristic that takes its initial solution from the assignment provided by the neural module. If the reaction time is still available, the tabu search module will continue ameliorating the final solution. To evaluate the proposed approach a set of problems are simulated and solved. The obtained results are compared to those given by the First Come First Served FCFS and Nearest Neighbor NN policies and also to the optimal solutions provided by the GNU Linear Programming Kit GLPK.      

Lasso solution strategies for the vehicle routing problem with pickups and deliveries

This paper considers the vehicle routing problem with pickups and deliveries (VRPPD) where the same customer may require both a delivery and a pickup. This is the case, for instance, of breweries that deliver beer or mineral water bottles to a set of customers and collect empty bottles from the same customers. It is possible to relax the customary practice of performing a pickup when delivering at a customer, and postpone the pickup until the vehicle has sufficient free capacity. In the case of breweries, these solutions will often consist of routes in which bottles are first delivered until the vehicle is partly unloaded, then both pickup and delivery are performed at the remaining customers, and finally empty bottles are picked up from the first visited customers. These customers are revisited in reverse order, thus giving rise to lasso shaped solutions. Another possibility is to relax the traditional problem even more and allow customers to be visited twice either in two different routes or at different times on the same route, giving rise to a general solution. This article develops a tabu search algorithm capable of producing lasso solutions. A general solution can be reached by first duplicating each customer and generating a Hamiltonian solution on the extended set of customers. Test results show that while general solutions outperform other solution shapes in term of cost, their computation can be time consuming. The best lasso solution generated within a given time limit is generally better than the best general solution produced with the same computing effort.
