Real-World Applications of the Vehicle Routing Problem in Georgia

Abstract

This study will examine the value of real-time traffic information to optimal
vehicle routing in a non- stationary stochastic network. The goal is to find a
systematic approach to aid in the implementation of transportation systems
integrated with real-time information technology. Finding the way to develop decision making procedures for determining the optimal driver attendance time, optimal departure times, and optimal routing policies is the primary goal. With studies based on a road network in Georgia, we aim to reduce vehicle usage while
satisfying or improving service levels for just-in-time delivery.
