This book is dedicated to metaheuristics as applied to vehicle routing problems. Several implementations are given as illustrative examples, along with applications to several typical vehicle routing problems. As a first step, a general presentation intends to make the reader more familiar with the related field of logistics and combinatorial optimization. This preamble is completed with a description of significant heuristic methods classically used to provide feasible solutions quickly, and local improvement moves widely used to search for enhanced solutions. The overview of these fundamentals allows appreciating the core of the work devoted to an analysis of metaheuristic methods for vehicle routing problems. Those methods are exposed according to their feature of working either on a sequence of single solutions, or on a set of solutions, or even by hybridizing metaheuristic approaches with others kind of methods.

In this thesis, the vehicle routing problem and one of its variants, the vehicle routing problem with simultaneous pick up and deliveries (VRPSPD) are studied. The traditional vehicle routing problem (VRP) consists of constructing minimum cost routes for the vehicles to follow so that the set of customers are visited only once. A lot of effort has been devoted to research on developing fast and effective solution methods for many different versions of this problem by different majors of engineering profession. Thus, a structuring effort is needed to organize and document the vast literature so far has accumulated in this field. Over its lifespan the VRP literature has become quite disjointed and disparate. Keeping track of its development has become difficult because its subject matter transcends several academic disciplines and professions that range from algorithm design to traffic management. Consequently, this dissertation begins with defining VRP's domain in its entirety, accomplishes an all-encompassing taxonomy for the VRP literature, and delineates all of VRP's facets in a parsimonious and discriminating manner. Sample articles chosen for their disparity are classified to illustrate the descriptive power and parsimony of the taxonomy. Next, a more detailed version of the original problem, the VRPSPD is examined and a more abstract taxonomy is proposed. Additionally, two other existing classification methodologies are used to distinguish all published VRPSPD papers on their respective research strategies and solution methods. By using well-organized methods this study provides a solid multidimensional identification of all VRPSPD studies' attributes thus synthesizing knowledge in the filed. Finally, a hybrid meta-heuristic solution algorithm for the VRPSPD problem is presented. To solve this NP-hard vehicle routing problem a GRASP initiated hybrid genetic algorithm is developed. The algorithm is tested on two sets of benchmark problems from the literature with respect to computational efficiency and solution quality. The effect of starting with a better initial population for the genetic algorithm is further investigated by comparing the current results with previously generated ones. The experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithm produces relatively good quality solutions and a better initial population yields a reduction in processing cycles.

This book discusses all the major nature-inspired algorithms with a focus on their application in the context of solving navigation and routing problems. It also reviews the approximation methods and recent nature-inspired approaches for practical navigation, and compares these methods with traditional algorithms to validate the approach for the case studies discussed. Further, it examines the design of alternative solutions using nature-inspired techniques, and explores the challenges of navigation and routing problems and nature-inspired metaheuristic approaches.

Vehicle routing problems, among the most studied in combinatorial optimization, arise in many practical contexts (freight distribution and collection, transportation, garbage collection, newspaper delivery, etc.). Operations researchers have made significant developments in the algorithms for their solution, and Vehicle Routing: Problems, Methods, and Applications, Second Edition reflects these advances. The text of the new edition is either completely new or significantly revised and provides extensive and complete state-of-the-art coverage of vehicle routing by those who have done most of the innovative research in the area; it emphasizes methodology related to specific classes of vehicle routing problems and, since vehicle routing is used as a benchmark for all new solution techniques, contains a complete overview of current solutions to combinatorial optimization problems. It also includes several chapters on important and emerging applications, such as disaster relief and green vehicle routing.

The vehicle routing problem (VRP) is very popular due to its practicality for modelling real-life optimisation problem in the areas of logistics and transportation. The various objectives and constraints that arise in different circumstances often lead to the development of new variants of the VRP, which requires the development of a solution method that is robust and flexible. It has been proven that VRP and its extension are NP-complete problems. Thus, VRPs with large sizes could usually only be solved by using non-exact algorithms, such as meta-heuristic algorithms. Meta-heuristic algorithms have high reusability components that make its implementation a straightforward task. However, choosing the right heuristic components of the meta-heuristic and their parameter setting is not easy. These problems are regarded as meta-heuristic algorithm configuration problems. There is a considerable quantity of well-established methodology to tackle the parameter tuning problem. This thesis attempts to solve the heuristic selection problem with a parameter tuning method that is available in the literature - the response surface methodology. The case study in this thesis is a construction heuristic for the VRP that considers problem characteristics. By employing a procedure called 'normalisation', this study was able to combine several heuristics into a new hybrid construction heuristic. The methodology proceeded in two stages. First, a screening experiment was conducted in order to choose the right combination of heuristics. Second, each chosen heuristic was given a weight based on the model developed in stage two. The results were then evaluated against a popular benchmark instance: VRP with time windows constraint (VRPTW). The computational results showed that the new heuristic performed better than the default setting in more than 80% of test cases. However, the experiment to incorporate the new heuristic into a higher-level framework - called 'adaptive large neighbourhood search' (ALNS) - indicated that further investigation is needed to achieve satisfying performance.
