Vehicle routing problems with road‐network information: State of the art

Ben Ticha, Hamza, Absi, Nabil, Feillet, Dominique, Quilliot, Alain·2018·Networks

Abstract

Vehicle routing problems have drawn researchers’ attention for more than 50 years. Most approaches found in the literature address these problems using the so‐called customer‐based graph, a complete graph representing the road network, where a node is introduced for every point of interest (eg, customers, depot…) and an arc represents the best path between two points. In many situations, this representation induces negative effects on the solution quality or efficiency. A growing number of works in the literature investigate these issues and propose modeling taking account of more detailed information from the road‐network. In this article, we review these works and classify them with respect to the type of negative effects provoked by the customer‐based graph.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Tracking locations and analysing mobility has contributed to many day-to-day applications such as traffic management, routing, recommender systems, and cellular network load balancing.

    “Tracking locations and analysing mobility has contributed to many day-to-day applications, for example, traffic management and forecasting [87,88], routing individuals [89] and delivery packages [90], recommender systems [91], dynamic load balancing systems for cellular networks [92], to name a few.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
