Multimodal city logistics using waterways in Amsterdam: proof-of-concept of a two-echelon distribution network

This study focuses on two-echelon synchronized logistics in a multimodal distribution network for integrated road-based and waterborne transportation motivated by practical city logistics challenges. To evaluate the feasibility and requirements of a multimodal transport system as a potential future logistics solution for supplying hotels,...

Machine and deep learning models for vehicle routing problems: a literature review

Vehicle routing problems (VRPs), a generalization of the traveling salesman problem, are extensively studied combinatorial optimization problems for their practical application. Many solution methods, e.g., exact and heuristic algorithms, have been proposed in the last few decades but require relatively much computation time due to the NP-hard...
