“…But vehicle routing times and vehicle loads are treated probabilistically by the authors. List et al (2003) study the fleet sizing problem under uncertainty assumptions over the demands, travel times, and availability of the vehicles. They propose a stochastic programming formulation and use the stochastic decomposition to solve it.…”

Abstract:We address a real strategic fleet sizing problem for a furniture and home accessory distributor. The current practice in the real case is to keep the inventory of items in self-owned branch showrooms. The distributor plans to go to a new system where the inventory is centrally held in a distribution centre. In the new system, the area that the distributor serves is split into regions with their assigned group of vehicles. Showrooms in each region only showcase the products, and pass the orders to the distributor and the distributor transports the required items from the central depot to the customers directly. We propose a mixed integer linear program to determine the total number and types of owned and rented vehicles for each region under seasonal demand. We study the effects of different scenarios on cost and demand parameters, and suggest some managerial insights based on a set of numerical analysis.

“…A mathematical model and four different heuristics for direct deliveries are presented, and Some extensions to deal with the multiple-retailer-route situation are also proposed. List et al [93] developed a formulation and solution procedure for fleet sizing in a transportation network with uncertainty in demand and operating conditions. The formulation focuses on robust optimization and incorporates the risk into the expected recourse function of a two-stage stochastic programming formulation.…”

The purpose of this paper is to describe industrial aspects of combined fleet composition and routing in maritime and road-based transportation, and to present the current status of research in the form of a comprehensive literature review. With a backdrop of industrial aspects, a categorized survey of relevant literature since the first published papers in the 1950's is given. First, the literature review discusses some early seminal and application-oriented papers, presents a classification of problems, and then focuses on a basic definition of combined fleet composition and routing: the fleet size and mix vehicle routing problem. Three basic mathematical formulations from the literature are presented and compared. Further, the literature of extended and related problems is described and categorized. Surveys of application oriented research in road-based and maritime transportation conclude the review. Finally, we contrast the literature with aspects of industrial applications from a critical, but constructive stance. Major issues for future work are suggested.
