Simulated annealing algorithm for customer-centric location routing problem
… majority of consumers. We propose solving the location routing problem (LRP) aiming at minimizing customer waiting time with capacitated depots and vehicles. We take two approaches to solve this problem: mathematical model and heuristic algorithm. The mathematical model obtains the optimal …

Collection-and-Delivery-Points: A Variation on a Location-Routing Problem
… a place, either in an existing business or a new location, where the carrier drops any missed deliveries and the customers can pick the packages at their convenience. To examine the viability of a CDP system in North America, a variation on a location-routing problem (LRP) was created, a …

Bi objective multi depot location routing problem with time window for EVs
This thesis addresses a multi-depot, bi-objective Location Routing Problem for electric vehicles (EVs), modeled as a Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) problem. The mathematical model integrates cost minimization with workload fairness under time windows. A custom metaheuristic algorithm, …

The Generalized Location Routing Problem with Profits for planetary surface exploration and terrestrial applications
… This is a challenging profit maximization problem whose decisions encompass selection of bases, technological options, routes, and excursion methods under constraints on a route, a mission, and a whole campaign. The Generalized Location Routing Problem with Profits (GLRPP) is developed in …

Last-mile network design for urban commodity distribution in Latin America
… and unproductive idle periods at customers locations, among others. Consequently, there is a need for methodologies addressing the design of improved last-mile delivery networks. In this context, the optimal design of distribution systems requires an integrated view of strategic, tactical, …

Effects of road-network circuity on strategic decisions in urban logistics
… increase the real-world validity of routing approximations compared to classical methods, and entail relevant implications in the configuration of logistics networks within urban markets. The framework presented in this thesis entails three inter-dependent levels of analysis: …

Modeling Aerial Refueling Operations
… how this formula can be used in optimal control problems to find minimum costs flight plans. <bold>Tanker Basing Demand Mismatch Index:</bold> Since 1992, AMC has relied on a Tanker Basing/AR Demand Mismatch Index which aggregates tanker capacity and AR demand data into six regions. This index …

Modeling and Analysis of a Feedstock Logistics Problem
… dissertation, we address a feedstock logistics problem associated with the delivery of switchgrass for conversion into biofuel. In order to satisfy the continual demand of biomass at a bioenergy plant, production fields within a 48-km radius of its location are assumed to be attracted into …
