  摘要:

  Incorporating vehicle speeds as decision variables into classical transportation models can improve the operational flexibility and lead to significant cost savings. It also brings in great complexities on modeling and computation. We study a generalization of the vehicle routing problem, called the pollution routing problem (PRP), with the goal of determining a set of routes as well as vehicle speeds over the routes that minimize the total operational and environmental costs. We propose two new exact formulations for the PRP. The first formulation is based on tools from disjunctive convex programming. The second formulation is a novel set partitioning formulation, in which each column represents a combination of a route and a subset of customers on the route whose time-window constraints are active. This is in contrast to the set partitioning formulation of the vehicle routing problem in which each column represents a route. This formulation facilitates the development of an efficient labeling algorithm for the pricing problem in a branch-cut-and-price framework. We show computational results that indicate the superiority of the proposed approaches.
