This research is to develop a possible process to apply k-means clustering to an efficient vehicle routing process under time varying vehicle moving speeds. Time varying vehicle moving speeds are easy to find in metropolitan area. There is a big difference between the moving time requirements of two specific delivery points. Less delivery times are necessary if a delivery vehicle moves after or before rush hours. Various vehicle moving speeds make the efficient vehicle route search process extremely difficult to find even for near optimum routes due to the changes of required time between delivery points. Delivery area division is designed to simplify this complicated VRPs due to time various vehicle speeds. Certain divided area can be grouped into few adjacent divisions to assume that no vehicle speed change in each division. The vehicle speeds moving between two delivery points within this adjacent division can be assumed to be same. This indicates that it is possible to search optimum routes based upon the distance between two points as regular traveling salesman problems. This makes the complicated search process simple to attack since few local optimum routes can be found and then connects them to make a complete route. A possible method to divide area using k-means clustering is suggested and detailed examples are given with explanations in this paper. It is clear that the results obtained using the suggested process are more reasonable than other methods. The suggested area division process can be used to generate better area division promising improved vehicle route generations.

The main purpose of this study is to find out the optimal solution of the vehicle routing problem considering heterogeneous vehicle(s), double-trips, and multi depots. This study suggests a mathematical programming model with new numerical formula which considers the amount of delivery and sub-tour elimination and gives optimal solution by using OPL-STUDIO(ILOG). This study also suggests modified genetic algorithm which considers the improvement of the creation method for initial solution, application of demanding point, individual and last learning method in order to find excellent solution, survival probability of infeasible solution for allowance, and floating mutation rate for escaping from local solution. The suggested modified genetic algorithm is compared with optimal solution of the existing problems. We found the better solution rather than the existing genetic algorithm. The suggested modified genetic algorithm is tested by Eilon and Fisher data(Eilon 22, Eilon 23, Eilon 30, Eilon 33, and Fisher 10), respectively.

In this paper, we deal with the periodic heterogeneous fleet vehicle routing problem (PHVRP). PHVRP is a problem of designing vehicle routes in each day of given period to minimize the sum of fixed cost and variable cost over the planning horizon. Each customer can be visited once or more times over the planning horizon according to the service combinations of that customer. Due to the complexity of the problem, we suggest a heuristic algorithm in which an initial solution is obtained by assigning the customer-day and the customer-car simultaneously and then it is improved. A performance of the proposed algorithm was compared to both well-known results and new test problems.

Constraint Programming is an appealing technology for modeling and solving various real-world problems. and metaheuristic is the most successful technique available for solving large real-world vehicle routing problems. Constraint Programming and metaheuristic are complementary to each other. This paper describes how iterative improvement techniques can be used in a Constraint Programming framework(LOG Solver and ILOG Dispatcher) for Vehicle Routing Problem. As local search gets trapped in local solution, the improvement techniques are used in conjunction with metaheuristic method.

The purpose of this paper is to develop a new heuristic algorithm for vehicle routing problem. The algorithm is composed of two steps. First step is to make a initial solution using sweeping algorithm. Second step is to improve initial solution for optimal solution using node exchange algorithm and tabu search algorithm. We have proven that our algorithm has produced better results than solutions obtained by saving algorithm and genetic in ten example problems with different unit size.

Networks in Mobile ad hoc contain distribution and do not have a predefined structure which practically means that network modes can play the role of being clients or servers. The routing protocols used in mobile Ad-hoc networks (MANETs) are characterized by limited bandwidth, mobility, limited power supply, and routing protocols. Hybrid routing protocols solve the delay problem of reactive routing protocols and the routing overhead of proactive routing protocols. The Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm is used to solve other real-life problems such as the travelling salesman problem, capacity planning, and the vehicle routing challenge. Bio-inspired methods have probed lethal in helping to solve the problem domains in these networks. Hybrid routing protocols combine the distance vector routing protocol (DVRP) and the link-state routing protocol (LSRP) to solve the routing problem.

This paper apollos an ant colony system (ACS) for the vehicle routing problem with time window (VRPTW). The VRPTW is a generalization of the VRP where the service of a customer can begin within the time windows defined by the earliest and latest times when the customer will permit the start of service. The ACS has been applied effectively in geographical environment such as TSP or VRP by meta-heuristic that imitate an ant's biologic special duality in route construction, 3 saving based ACS (SB-ACS) is introduced and its solution is improved by local search. Through iterative precesses, the SB-ACS is shown to drive the best solution. The algorithm has been tested on 56 Solomon benchmarking problems and compared to the best-known solutions on literature. Experimental results shows that SB-ACS algorithm could obtain food solution in total travel distance minimization.

차량 통신 네트워크는 이동하는 차량과 차량 간의 통신 및 차량과 인프라 간의 통신을 이용하여 운전자의 안전 및 교통 흐름 개선 등 다양한 서비스를 제공하는 차세대 네트워크 기술이다. 이러한 차량 통신 네트워크에서는 운전자의 안전을 위하여 최근 다양한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있으며, 특히 긴급 메시지를 전송하여 이동하는 차량에게 경고 메시지를 전달함으로써 교통안전의 효율성을 높이기 위한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이동하는 차량에게 긴급 메시지를 효율적으로 전파하기 위해서는 차량 노드의 전송 범위 안에 속해 있는 노드들에게 브로드캐스팅을 통하여 최대한 많은 노드들에게 빠르게 메시지를 전송하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 하지만 기존 제안되었던 연구들은 메시지 전송 시 통신에 참여하는 노드들의 무분별한 브로드캐스팅으로 인한 브로드캐스팅 폭풍 문제가 발생하였으며, 이로 인하여 전체적인 성능이 감소하는 문제를 야기하였다. 또한 이러한 문제는 도심 지역과 같이 차량 노드의 밀도가 높고 다양한 도로의 형태에서 많은 문제점을 야기한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 도심지역과 같이 차량의 밀도가 높은 지역에서 효율적으로 메시지를 전달할 수 있는 클러스터링 기반의 라우팅 알고리즘 (CBRA, Clustering based Routing Algorithm)을 제안한다. 제안하는 라우팅 알고리즘은 메시지 전송 시 클러스터링 방법을 통해 차량을 관리함으로써 도로 형태에 따른 링크 단절 문제를 해결하고 각 클러스터에서 선택적 플러딩 방법을 적용하여 브로드캐스팅 폭풍문제와 메시지 전송 시 효율성을 향상시킨다. ns-2를 이용한 시뮬레이션 결과 본 논문에서 제안하는 CBRA 방법이 기존 제안되었던 방법보다 더 우수한 성능을 보이는 것을 입증하였다.

Vehicular Ad hoc Networks are considered as special kind of Mobile Ad Hoc Networks. VANETs are a new emerging recently developed, advanced technology that allows a wide set of applications related to providing more safety on roads, more convenience for passengers, self-driven vehicles, and intelligent transportation systems (ITS). Delay Tolerant Networks (DTN) are networks that allow communication in the event of connection problems, such as delays, intermittent connections, high error rates, and so on. Moreover, these are used in areas that may not have end-to-end connectivity. The expansion from DTN to VANET resulted in Vehicle Delay Tolerant Networks (VDTN). In this approach, a vehicle stores and carries a message in its buffer, and when the opportunity arises, it forwards the message to another node. Carry-store-forward mechanisms, packets in VDTNs can be delivered to the destination without clear connection between the transmitter and the receiver. The primary goals of routing protocols in VDTNs is to maximize the probability of delivery ratio to the destination node, while minimizing the total end-to-end delay. DTNs are used in a variety of operating environments, including those that are subject to failures and interruptions, and those with high delay, such as vehicle ad hoc networks (VANETs). This paper discusses DTN routing protocols belonging to unicast delay tolerant position based. The comparison was implemented using the NS2 simulator. Simulation of the three DTN routing protocols GeOpps, GeoSpray, and MaxProp is recorded, and the results are presented.

Many firms are trying to optimize their production and distribution functions separately, but possible savings by this approach may be limited. Nowadays, it is more important to analyze these two functions simultaneously by trading off the costs associated with the whole. In this paper, I treat a production and distribution planning problem for single-period inventory products comprised of a single production facility and multiple customers, with the aim of optimally coordinating important and interrelated decisions of production sequencing and vehicle routing. Then, I propose a hybrid genetic algorithm incorporating several local optimization techniques, HGAP, for integrated production-distribution planning. Computational results on test problems show that HGAP is effective and generates substantial cost savings over Hurter and Buer's decoupled planning approach in which vehicle routing is first developed and a production sequence is consequently derived. Especially, HGAP performs better on the problems where customers are dispersed with multi-item demand than on the problems where customers are divided into several zones based on single-item demand.
