Abstract
The paper presents the problem of distribution route planning with dynamic information about sudden customers' needs. Particular attention was paid to dynamic vehicle route planning and its influence on the distance covered by a distribution vehicle. In the article, authors assume that the quick information about customers’ sudden needs is transferred from the EPLOS tool data base. Authors analyze the available literature on transport route optimization and propose a solution to the problem of distribution among customers with sudden needs. In order to present the impact of quick information influence on the distribution route minimization, a simulation model of the vehicle routing problem was generated in the FlexSim environment.
Highlights
Transport is one of the key sectors of the economy in every country
In the case of distribution, this issue is addressed by the dynamic vehicle routing problem (DyVRP), where the previously set route can be changed according to a sudden request for transport
The problem of vehicle routing with dynamic information presented in the article is an important issue for minimizing the costs of transport as well as for maximizing the level of customer service
Summary
Transport is one of the key sectors of the economy in every country. Its importance for the movement of people and material goods seems to be indisputable.the efficiency of the implementation of transport processes directly affects the duration of this process and its cost. In the case of distribution, this issue is addressed by the dynamic vehicle routing problem (DyVRP), where the previously set route can be changed according to a sudden request for transport.
