Abstract

BALLESTEROS SILVA, Pedro Pablo  and  ESCOBAR ZULUAGA, Antonio Hernando. Description of the classification of publications and the models used in solving of the vehicle routing problem with pickup and delivery. Rev. ing. univ. Medellín [online]. 2016, vol.15, n.28, pp.287-306. ISSN 1692-3324.  https://doi.org/10.22395/rium.v15n28a14.

It is presented in this review paper, the description of the state of the art of the vehicle routing problem with pickups and deliveries, VRPPD, product obtained from the literature review of most of the models reported in the international technical literature and used for many years by specialized researchers in the field. This classification considers the different solution methods, the treatment of the problem in time and future trends of the same in its formulation and proposal of new methods of solution, as the metaheuristics caused by the complexity of the problem. Finally, several elements are left to make a discussion about existing and available tools for solving this problem

Keywords : complexity of the problem; mathematical programming; methods of solution; modeling tools; vehicle routing problem with delivery and pickups; future trends and treatment of the problem.
