A Survey on the Vehicle Routing Problem and Its Variants

Abstract: In this paper, we have conducted a literature review on the recent developments and publications involving the vehicle routing problem and its variants, namely vehicle routing problem with time windows (VRPTW) and the capacitated vehicle routing problem (CVRP) and also their variants. The VRP is classified as an NP-hard problem. Hence, the use of exact optimization methods may be difficult to solve these problems in acceptable CPU times, when the problem involves real-world data sets that are very large. The v… Show more

“…Existem algumas variantes do problema de roteamento de veículos, formuladas a partir da natureza dos produtos transportados, da qualidade do serviço exigido e das características dos clientes e dos veículos. O problema de roteamento de veículos é NPcompleto (Lenstra e Rinnooy Kan, 1981) e, em decorrência, exemplos de grande porte não podem ser resolvidos de maneira ótima por métodos exatos, o que explica o grande número de algoritmos aproximados disponíveis na literatura (Toth e Vigo, 2002;Laporte 2009;Kumar e Panneerselvam, 2012).…”
