Abstract
This paper addresses a new variant of the location routing problem (LRP), namely the heterogeneous fleet LRP with simultaneous pickup and delivery and overloads (HFLRPSPDO) which has not been previously tackled in literatures. In this problem, the heterogeneous fleet is comprised of vehicles with different capacities, and the vehicle overloads up to a specified upper bound is allowed. This paper proposes a polynomial-size mixed integer linear programming formulation for the problem in which a penalty function, allowing capacity violations of vehicles, is integrated into objective function. Furthermore, two heuristic algorithms, respectively based on tabu search and simulated annealing, are proposed to solve HFLRPSPDO. Computational results on simulated instances show the effectiveness of the proposed problem formulation and the efficiency of the proposed heuristic algorithms.
