The capacitated vehicle routing problem with three‐dimensional loading constraints combinescapacitated vehicle routing and three‐dimensional loading with additional packing constraints whichconcern, for example, unloading operations. An efficient hybrid algorithm including a tabu...

This case study deals with a two-stage packing problem that has to be solved in thedaily distribution process of a Portuguese trading company. At the first stage boxesincluding goods are to be packed on pallets while at the second stage these pallets areloaded into one or more trucks. The boxes...

Dieser Beitrag untersucht die Möglichkeiten, die durch eine kooperative Transportdisposition erzielten Kostenersparnisse fair, anreizkompatibel und stabilitätserhaltend auf die Kooperationspartner zu verteilen. Zunächst werden klassische und neuere Ansätze der Kostenrechnung auf ihre Eignung...

This paper presents a parallel tabu search algorithm for the container loading problem with a single container to be loaded. The emphasis is on the case of a weakly heterogeneous load. The distributed-parallel approach is based on the concept of multi-search threads according to Toulouse et al....
