Vehicle Routing: Problems, Methods, and Applications
| PUBLISHER | Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematic (02/26/2015) |
| PRODUCT TYPE | Paperback (Paperback) |
Description
Vehicle routing problems, among the most studied in combinatorial optimization, arise in many practical contexts (freight distribution and collection, transportation, refuse collection, and so on). Researchers have made significant recent progress in the development of solution algorithms, which are explored in this book. The text of this new edition is either completely new or significantly revised and provides extensive state-of-the-art coverage of vehicle routing; it emphasizes methodologies for specific classes of vehicle routing problems and contains a complete overview of current solutions to combinatorial optimization problems. It also includes several chapters on important and emerging applications, such as disaster relief and green vehicle routing. This book is intended for both researchers and graduate students in operations research and applied mathematics. Practitioners will find this book particularly useful. Readers need only basic knowledge of the main solution methods for combinatorial optimization problems.

He is author of about 100 papers and book cha983 to 2013. He is the author of more than 170 papers and fipters, editor of several journal special issues, and coeditove books, and he serves on the editorial boards of several jr, with Paolo Toth, of The Vehicle Routing Problem (2002). Hournals in the areas of operations research and transportatie was awarded the first prize of FARO competition organized on science. Among the several international awards he has reby the Italian Railways in 1995 (with Alberto Caprara, Matteceived are the Harold Larnder Memorial Lecture (annual Awardo Fischetti, and Paolo Toth) and was a finalist for the Wagn of CORS, the Canadian Operations Research Society, 1998), ter Prize and twice for the EURO Excellence in Practice Awardhe EURO Gold Medal (the highest distinction within Operation. He is founder and coordinator of VeRoLog, the EURO workingal Research in Europe, 1998), a doctorate honoris causa in o group on Vehicle Routing and Logistics Optimization. His reperations research (University of Montreal, 2003), and the Rsearch interests are related to the design and implementatioobert Herman Lifetime Achievement Award in Transportation Scn of exact and heuristic algorithms for combinatorial optimiience (Transportation Science and Logistics Society of INFORzation problems arising in application areas such as vehicleMS, 2005). He was named a VeRoLog Fellow in 2012. His resear routing, industrial cutting and packing, and crew managemench interests include operational research and mathematical pt. He is also active in applied research in logistics, energrogramming methodologies. y production, and resource management.
