We study a new variant of the well-studied Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows (VRPTW), called the fragility-constrained VRPTW, which assumes that 1) the capacity of a vehicle is organized in multiple identical stacks; 2) all items…
The electric vehicle routing problem with time windows (EVRPTW) extends the classical VRPTW by introducing battery capacity constraints and charging station decisions. Existing benchmark datasets are often static and lack verifiable…
We consider a spatially distributed demand for electrical vehicle recharging, that must be covered by a fixed set of charging stations. Arriving EVs receive feedback on transport times to each station, and waiting times at congested ones,…
Electric road systems (ERS) are roads that allow compatible vehicles to be powered by grid electricity while in transit, reducing the need for stopping to recharge electric batteries. We investigate how this technology can affect routing…
The Electric Autonomous Dial-A-Ride Problem (E-ADARP) consists in scheduling a fleet of electric autonomous vehicles to provide ride-sharing services for customers that specify their origins and destinations. The E-ADARP differs from the…
Electric vehicle routing problems can be particularly complex when recharging must be performed mid-route. In some applications such as the e-commerce parcel delivery truck routing, however, mid-route recharging may not be necessary because…
