A study on the effect of the asymmetry on real capacitated vehicle routing problems

I have the pleasure to present another article: A study on the effect of the asymmetry on real capacitated vehicle routing problems that presents and summarizes some of the results of the second part of research for my PhD thesis; and is In Press on journal Computers & Operations Research. Abstract Matrices with distances between pairs of locations are essential for solving vehicle routing problems like the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (CVRP), Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) and others. This work deals with the complex reality of transportation networks and asymmetry. Through a series of comprehensive and thorough computational and statistical […]

The effect of the asymmetry of road transportation networks on the traveling salesman problem

I have the pleasure to present the last article: The effect of the asymmetry of road transportation networks on the traveling salesman problem that presents and summarizes some of the results of the research for my PhD thesis; and is In Press on journal Computers & Operations Research. Abstract The routing of vehicles on road transportation networks is an area of great importance to transportation planners within scientific literature. This field includes well known and studied problems like traveling salesman problems or TSP or the more realistic asymmetric variant or ATSP, whose applications extend to other areas of transport and […]
