A Novel Constructive Routing Algorithm for Fleet Size and Mix Vehicle Routing Problem

Abstract

In this study, a new constructive routing algorithm for fleet size and mix vehicle routing problem is proposed in which residual costs rather than vehicle types are considered for route selection. The algorithm of the proposed routing approach is given and then the solution phases of a sample problem are shown by using the given algorithm. In order to highlight the performance of the routing approach, Golden’s 12 test problems (Fleet Size and Mix Vehicle Routing Problem with Fixed Cost) are used. It is seen that the proposed method has better average time complexity and cost performances than Ochi’s routing approach. Therefore, the solutions of the proposed method that uses vehicle type information are better than those of the methods that use residual cost based on the vehicle type information
