Abstract:

This paper proposes a novel and practical vehicle routing problem with pickups, deliveries and handling costs (VRPPD-H). The VRPPD-H extends the conventional vehicle routing problem with pickups and deliveries (VRPPD) by taking into account additional handling costs caused by loading and unloading operations for cargo rearrangement. Four mixed integer linear programming models are first built for the VRPPD-H under the four different cargo storage and handling policies. Two types of branch-and-cut exact algorithms are subsequently used to solve each of these four models. Finally, numerical experiments are carried out to assess the models and algorithms proposed in this study.
