A Fuzzy Vehicle Scheduling Problem

Abstract

In this paper, we consider a bi-objective vehicle routing problem to minimize total distance traveled and maximize minimum integrated satisfaction level of selecting desirable routes in an fuzzy graph. The fuzzy graph reflects a real delivery situation in which there are a depot, some demand points, paths linking them, and distance and integrated satisfaction level are associated with each route. For solving the vi-objective problem we introduce a concept of routing vector and define non-dominated solution for comparing vectors. An efficient algorithm involving a selection method of non-dominated solutions based on DEA is proposed for the vehicle routing problem with rigid distance and integrated satisfaction level.
