Metaheuristics for Vehicle-Routing Problems Arising in Sustainable Logistics
- This thesis addresses several challenges for sustainable logistics operations and investigates (1) the integration of intermediate stops in the route planning of transportation vehicles, which especially becomes relevant when alternative-fuel vehicles with limited driving range or a sparse refueling infrastructure are considered, (2) the combined planning of the battery replacement infrastructure and of the routing for battery electric vehicles, (3) the use of mobile load replenishment or refueling possibilities in environments where the respective infrastructure is not available, and (4) the additional consideration of the flow of goods from the end user in backward direction to the point of origin for the purpose of, e.g., recapturing value or proper disposal. We utilize models and solution methods from the domain of operations research to gain insights into the investigated problems and thus to support managerial decisions with respect to these issues.
