Vehicle Routing for Emergency Evacuations
… the Bus Evacuation Problem (BEP), a unique Vehicle Routing Problem motivated both by its humanitarian significance and by the routing and scheduling challenges of planning transit-based, regional evacuations. First, a variant where evacuees arrive at constant, location-specific rates is …

The hazardous materials vehicle routing problem
… With particular focus on the hazardous materials vehicle routing problem (HMVRP), this thesis compares different risk models and analyses their influence on the problem outcomes. Additionally, heuristic and meta-heuristic solution procedures are proposed for handling the NP-hard nature of the …

Dynamic vehicle routing for robotic networks
… develops concepts and algorithms for dynamic vehicle routing (DVR), that is, for the automatic planning of optimal multi-vehicle routes to provide service to demands (or more generally to perform tasks) that are generated over time by an exogenous process. We consider a rich variety of …

THE VEHICLE ROUTING PROBLEM WITH DEMAND RANGES
The classic Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (CVRP) has been studied in the Operations Research field for over 5 decades. This thesis formulates the vehicle routing problem with a variation that has not been studied in detail. It is called the Vehicle Routing Problem with Demand Ranges (VRPDR). …

Land Leveling Using Optimal Earthmoving Vehicle Routing
… for land leveling, using optimal earthmoving vehicle routing. It addresses the Shortest Route Cut and Fill Problem (SRCFP) developed by Henderson, Vaughan, Wakefield and Jacobson [2000]. The SRCFP is a discrete optimization search problem, proven to be NP-hard. The SRCFP describes the process …

Multi-Objective evolutionary algorithms for vehicle routing problems
The Vehicle Routing Problem, which main objective is to find the lowest-cost set of routes to deliver goods to customers, has many applications in transportation services. In the past, costs have been mainly associated to the number of routes and the travel distance, however, in real-world problems …

Control of mobile networks using dynamic vehicle routing
… Delivery Problem (DPDP), a dynamic multi-stage vehicle routing problem in which each demand requires two spatially separated services: pickup service at its source location and then delivery service at its destination location. The Dynamic Pickup and Delivery Problem arises in many practical …

Strategic dynamic vehicle routing with spatio-temporal dependent demands
Dynamic vehicle routing problems address the issue of determining optimal routes for a set of vehicles, to serve a given set of demands that arrive sequentially in time. Traditionally, demands are assumed to be generated over time by an exogenous stochastic process. This thesis is concerned with …
