This paper introduces the pickup and delivery problem with time windows and handling operations. In this problem, the loading compartment of a vehicle is mod...

We model and solve the problem of sequencing a set of jobs with specified processing times and tool requirements on a set of identical parallel machines. D...

This paper proposes models and algorithms for the pickup and delivery vehicle routing problem with time windows and multiple stacks. Each stack is rear-loade...

The Tube Challenge consists of visiting all stations of the London Underground in the least possible time. The competition started in 1959 and the current r...

In this article, we solve the pickup and delivery problem with time windows and last-in-first-out (LIFO) loading. LIFO loading minimizes handling while unloa...

This paper proposes models and algorithms for the pickup and delivery vehicle routing problem with time windows and last-in-first-out (LIFO) loading constr...

Scheduling often plays an important role in vehicle routing. This paper describes several applications in which the author has been involved in recent years...
