A heuristic column generation method for the heterogeneous fleet VRP
This paper presents a heuristic column generation method for solving vehicle routing problems with a heterogeneous fleet of vehicles. The method may also solve the fleet size and composition vehicle routing problem and new best known solutions are reported for a set of classical problems. Numerical results show that the method is robust and efficient, particularly for medium and large size problem instances.

A Hybrid Approach Combining Local Search and Constraint Programming for a Large Scale Energy Management Problem
This paper presents a heuristic approach combining constraint satisfaction, local search and a constructive optimization algorithm for a large-scale energy management and maintenance scheduling problem. The methodology shows how to successfully combine and orchestrate different types of algorithms and to produce competitive results. We also propose an efficient way to scale the method for huge instances. A large part of the presented work was done to compete in the ROADEF/EURO Challenge 2010, organized...
A hybrid approach for scheduling transportation networks
In this paper, we consider a regulation problem of an urban transportation network. From a given timetable, we aim to find a new schedule of multiple vehicles after the detection of a disturbance at a given time. The main objective is to find a solution maximizing the level of service for all passengers. This problem was intensively studied with evolutionary approaches and multi-agent techniques, but without identifying its type before. In this paper, we formulate the problem as a classical one...
A hybrid genetic algorithm for a dynamic logistics network with multi-commodities and components
Various topics related to reverse logistics have been discussed over the years. Most of them have assumed that facilities are kept open once they are established, and no returned products or recovery parts are stocked in intermediate recycling stations. However, firms may have the right to repeatedly open or close their facilities according to their economic benefits if they can acquire their facilities by lease. It also turns out that intermediate recycling stations like collection centers...

A hybrid genetic algorithm for the vehicle routing problem with three-dimensional loading constraints
This paper addresses a Three-Dimensional Loading Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (3L-CVRP) which combines a three-dimensional loading problem and vehicle routing problem in distribution logistics. The problem requires the combinatorial optimization of a feasible loading solution and a successive routing of vehicles to satisfy client demands, where all vehicles must start and terminate at a central depot. In spite of its clear practical significance...

A Hybrid Procedure for Network Multi-Criteria Systems
Many of today’s systems are characterized by a network structure and evaluation of alternatives is based on multiple criteria. Network systems contain both positive and negative feedbacks. In the paper, a hybrid procedure is proposed for operation in network environment. The procedure is based on a combination of DEMATEL, ANP, and PROMETHEE approaches. DEMATEL is a comprehensive method for building and analyzing a structural model involving causal relationships between complex factors. For the network...
