For instance, an adaptive ant colony algorithm was recently applied to manage crowdsourced multi-depot routing with strict time windows, leading to a significant reduction in operational costs [1].

This study presents new exact algorithms for the clustered vehicle routing problem (CluVRP). The CluVRP is a generalization of the capacitated vehicle routing problem (CVRP), in which the customers ...

Vehicle routing problems (VRPs) are among the most studied problems in operations research. Nowadays, the leading exact algorithms for solving many classes of VRPs are branch-price-and-cut algorithms.

The Internet of Things (IoT) envisions billions to trillions of everyday objects that can be traced, addressed, and transmitted data. Typically, Low-power and Lossy Networks (LLNs) provide a mechanism ...
