SYNTHESIS LECTURES ON OPERATIONS RESEARCH AND A...

This book presents state-of-the-art research and practice in optimization routing  specifically
the vehicle routing problem (VRP). Since its introduction in the late 1950s  the VRP has been a
very significant area of research and practice in operations research. Vehicles are used to
make deliveries and for pick-ups every day and everywhere. Companies such as Amazon  UPS  FedEx
and DHL use route optimization to reduce mileage  fuel use  number of trucks on the road  and
carbon dioxide emissions. The authors compile and analyze 135 survey and review articles on
vehicle routing topics published between 2005 and 2022 in an effort to make key observations
about publication and trend history  summarize the overall contributions in the field  and
identify trends in VRP research and practice. The authors have compiled published research on
models  algorithms  and applications for specific areas  including: alternative and multiple
objectives  arc routing and general routing  drones  last-mile delivery  and urban distribution
dynamic and stochastic routing  green routing  inventory routing  loading constraints 
location-routing  multiple depots  pickup and delivery and dial-a-ride problems  rich and
multi-attribute routing  routing over time  shipping  two-echelon  collaborative  and
inter-terminal problems  specific variants  benchmark datasets  and software  and exact
algorithms and heuristics. In addition  the book discusses how vehicle routing problems are
among the most widely studied problems in combinatorial optimization due to the mathematical
complexity and practical significance.
