Problem variant

VRPSD-DC (PP): Vehicle routing problem with stochastic demands and duration constraints (piecewise linear penalty formulation)

Properties

Acronym VRPSD-DC (PP)
Title Vehicle routing problem with stochastic demands and duration constraints (piecewise linear penalty formulation)
Criterion MIN
Description The VRPSD-DC consists in finding the set of routes minimal expected cost to service the uncertain demands of a set of customers. Routes are subject to a maximum duration constraint. In this formulation of the problem, expected violations to the duration constraints are penalized in the objective function using a piecewise penalty function (PP).
