We present a new
variant of vehicle routing problem with a min-max objective function. The
problem has different types of service demands satisfied by a heterogeneous
fleet of vehicles. Unlimited service capacitated vehicles serve the demand
points with multiple time windows and requirement of operation synchronization
when demand is split between vehicles. A mixed integer linear programming based
heuristic solution approach is proposed and a numerical study is carried out to
assess the performance of the proposed method.
