Efficient and reliable home delivery is crucial for the economic success of online retailers. This is especially challenging for attended home deliveries in metropolitan areas where logistics service providers face congested traffic networks and customers expect deliveries in tight delivery time...

The majority of stochastic vehicle routing models consider travel times to be independent. However, in reality, travel times are often stochastic and correlated, such as in urban areas. We examine a vehicle routing problem with a makespan objective incorporating both stochastic and correlated...

In this paper, we examine a vehicle routing problem with a makespan objective incorporating both stochastic and correlated travel times, which is usually not considered in routing problems. As an alternative to simulation, we develop an approach based on extreme-value theory to estimate the...

In the challenging environment of attended home deliveries, pricing delivery options can play a crucial role to ensure profitability and service quality of retailers. To differentiate between standard and premium delivery options, many retailers include time windows of various lengths and fees...
