Vehicle routing problem(VRP) is known to be NP-hard problem, and good heuristic algorithm needs to be developed. To develop a heuristic algorithm for the VRP, this study suggests a parallel genetic algorithm(PGA), which determines each vehicle route in order to minimize the transportation costs. The PGA developed in this study uses two dimensional array chromosomes, which rows represent each vehicle route. The PGA uses new genetic operators. New mutation operator is composed of internal and external operators. internal mutation swaps customer locations within a vehicle routing, and external mutation swaps customer locations between vehicles. Ten problems were solved using this algorithm and showed good results in a relatively short time.

Due to the complexity of urban area, the city vehicle routing problem has been a difficult problem. The problem has involved factors such as parking availability, road conditions, and traffic congestion, all of which increase transportation costs and delivery times. To resolve this problem, one effective solution can be the use of parcel lockers located near customer sites, where products are stored for customers to pick up. When a vehicle delivers products to a designated parcel locker, customers in the vicinity must pick up their products from that locker. Recently, identifying optimal locations for these parcel lockers has become an important research issue. This paper addresses the parcel locker location problem within the context of urban traffic congestion. By considering dynamic environmental factors, we propose a Markov decision process model to tackle the city vehicle routing problem. To ensure more real situations, we have used optimal paths for distances between two nodes. Numerical results demonstrate the viability of our model and solution strategy.

V2V(Vehicle-to-Vehicle)는 VANET(Vehicular Ad-hoc Network)의 한 형태로 높은 이동성과 빈번한 토폴로지 변화로 인하여 링크 단절 문제를 야기 시킨다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 그리디 포워딩 (greedy forwarding)과 같은 지리 기반 라우팅 프로토콜이 제안되었다. 그러나 그리디 포워딩 방식은 자신의 전송 범위 안에 속해 있는 노드들 중 목적지 노드와 가장 가까운 노드를 다음 전송 노드로 선정하기 때문에 교차로 및 차량의 진행 변화가 많은 도심 환경에서는 많은 문제점이 발생한다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 2-hop 이웃 노드의 유/무와 도로의 특성을 고려한 GPUR(Greedy Perimeter Urban Routing) 알고리즘을 제안한다. ns-2를 사용한 성능 평가 결과 도심 환경에서 GPUR 알고리즘이 기존의 라우팅 프로토콜에 비해 경로 설정 오류 문제와 로컬 맥시멈(local maximum)에 직면할 확률을 현저히 감소시킴을 확인하였다.

Logistics systems can be evaluated by how productively distribution center operates, how promptly transportation vehicle dispatches, how efficiently facility layout is, and so on. In this paper, a practical vehicle routing scheme with fixed delivery time and fixed vehicle routes is introduced. The method helps the distribution center reduce logistics cost with respect to dispatching vehicles, and satisfy the customer with pre-determined delivery time window constraints. A case study has shown that the proposed scheme not only generates a feasible schedule with time windows, but also balances material flow in warehouse.

There are various research challenges in vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) that need to be focused until an extensive deployment of it becomes conceivable. Design and development of a scalable routing algorithm for VANETs is one of the critical issue due to frequent path disruptions caused by the vehicle's mobility. This study aims to provide a novel road-aware routing protocol for vehicular networks named as Two-level hierarchical Hybrid Road-Aware (THERA) routing for vehicular ad hoc networks. The proposed protocol is designed explicitly for inter-vehicle communication. In THERA, roads are distributed into non-overlapping road segments to reduce the routing overhead. Unlike other protocols, discovery process does not flood the network with packet broadcasts. Instead, THERA uses the concept of Gateway Vehicles (GV) for the discovery process. In addition, a route between source and destination is flexible to changing topology, as THERA only requires road segment ID and destination ID for the communication. Furthermore, Road-Aware routing reduces the traffic congestion, bypasses the single point of failure, and facilitates the network management. Finally yet importantly, this paper also proposes a probabilistical model to estimate a path duration for each road segment using the highway mobility model. The flexibility of the proposed protocol is evaluated by performing extensive simulations in NS3. We have used SUMO simulator to generate real time vehicular traffic on the roads of Gangnam, South Korea. Comparative analysis of the results confirm that routing overhead for maintaining the network topology is smaller than few previously proposed routing algorithms.

This paper is concerned with Vehicle Routing Problem to minimize the total delivery waiting time of customers. The delivery waiting time is the time taken to travel from the depot to the customer, which is important for the delivery of the perishing products or foods requiring freshness. We construct a mixed integer linear programming formulation of this problem, and CR(Clustering first Routing second) heuristic and SPH(set partitioning heuristic) are suggested. the results of computational experiments showed that these heuristics find successfully favorable solutions, in much shorter time than optimal.

Types of problems and solutions to vehicle routing problems are discussed. A case study on a public transport is conducted to discover the characteristics of problems in route selection. The characteristics of problems solved by certain technique or algorithm are also studied to investigate the capability of current techniques in solving public bus routing.

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.
