Vehicle Routing Optimization Model Of Cold Chain Logistics Based On Stochastic Demand, Xiangguo Ma, Tongjuan Liu, Pingzhe Yang, Rongfen Jiang Aug 2020

Vehicle Routing Optimization Model Of Cold Chain Logistics Based On Stochastic Demand, Xiangguo Ma, Tongjuan Liu, Pingzhe Yang, Rongfen Jiang

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: The costs of vehicle distribution in the process of cold chain logistics is analyzed and amended; A mathematical model with mixing time window is built to balance the customers' service request with importance level; To minimize the total cost, a mathematical model which uses a factor to make balance between the stability of customer demand fluctuation and the cost increase in the assignment phase is established. Based on MATLAB software, the optical solution is found with adaptive genetic algorithm by taking the background of a distribution center to simulate and analyze.

Cross-docking is considered as a method to manage and control the inventory flow, which is essential in the context of supply chain management. This paper studies the integration of the vehicle routing problem with cross-docking, namely VRPCD which has been extensively studied due to its ability to reducethe overall costs occurring in a supply chain network. Given a fleet of homogeneous vehicles for delivering a single type of product from suppliers to customers through a cross-dock facility, the objective of VRPCD is to determine the number of vehicles used and the corresponding vehicle routes, such that the vehicleoperational and transportation …


Flight Support Service Time Estimation Of Hub Airport, Zhiwei Xing, Yunxiao Tang Jun 2020

Flight Support Service Time Estimation Of Hub Airport, Zhiwei Xing, Yunxiao Tang

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: For the convenience of airport to publish the accurate information about flight status to passengers in time, estimating the service time of airport flight support is needed. Because the flight support service is a mixed procedure of job shop and fixed site, and has characteristics of time window constrains and resource demand difference, a model of flight support service procedure based on vehicle routing problem with time windows (VRPTW) was built. For the strong NP nature of vehicle routing problems, a two phase hybrid heuristic algorithm based on greedy algorithm and tabu search was proposed. It was applied to …


A Matheuristic Algorithm For Solving The Vehicle Routing Problem With Cross-Docking, Aldy Gunawan, Audrey Tedja Widjaja, Pieter Vansteenwegen, Vincent F. Yu May 2020

A Matheuristic Algorithm For Solving The Vehicle Routing Problem With Cross-Docking, Aldy Gunawan, Audrey Tedja Widjaja, Pieter Vansteenwegen, Vincent F. Yu

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

This paper studies the integration of the vehicle routing problem with cross-docking, namely VRPCD. The aim is to find a set of routes to deliver single products from a set of suppliers to a set of customers through a cross-dock facility, such that the operational and transportation costs are minimized, without violating the vehicle capacity and time horizon constraints. A two-phase matheuristic approach that uses the routes of the local optima of an adaptive large neighborhood search (ALNS) as columns in a set-partitioning formulation of the VRPCD is designed. This matheuristic outperforms the state-of-the-art algorithms in solving a subset of …
