This work addresses the Multi-Compartment Vehicle Routing Problem (MCVRP), relevant for transporting goods that must remain separated or require distinct temperature conditions. We consider a predefined fleet consisting of three vehicle types: room temperature, refrigerated, and dual-compartment (room temperature and refrigerated). The distribution scenario involves multiple pick-up points and...
Wildfires pose a significant threat to ecosystems, frequently having detrimental effects on the environment and the economy. One of the main reasons for their ignition and propagation is the abundance of unmanaged vegetation, particularly close to linear infrastructures. Countries prone to these hazards have established fuel lane management strategies to mitigate fire risks. Fuel lane...
The Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) is a fundamental combinatorial optimization challenge with wide-ranging applications in logistics and transportation. While machine learning has recently gained traction as a scalable alternative to traditional solvers, most existing methods are designed for a single specific VRP variant, limiting their generalizability to solve a diverse range of VRP...
This work focuses on planning daily routes for a group of employees from a condominium company.
Given a set of employees and a set of customers with pre-scheduled visits, we want to build double-open routes to guarantee visits to all customers, ensuring that each customer is visited by an employee with the appropriate skills to carry out the required activity. The travel times between...
