摘要

En 中文
This study introduces a new variant of the vehicle routing problem (VRP) called the simultaneous pickup and delivery problem with split demand and time windows (SPDP-SDTW). The motivation behind this study stems from real-life urban and rural delivery scenarios, encompassing features such as split demand, simultaneous pickup and delivery, many-to-many pickup and delivery, and time windows. The study thoroughly investigates the properties of the optimal solution for the SPDP-SDTW. Based on these properties, an arc flow model is developed for the SPDP-SDTW. Dantzig Wolfe (DW) decomposition techniques are employed to obtain the master problem and the pricing subproblem. In order to effectively address the SPDP-SDTW, an improved branch and price (I-BP) algorithm is proposed, incorporating a tailored column generation (CG) algorithm, branching strategies, and dual stabilization strategies. The proposed CG algorithm provides a framework that combines the improved adaptive degree heuristic (I-AGH) algorithm and the solver Gurobi. This integration substantially mitigates the computational burden involved in solving the subproblem. Extensive computational experiments conducted on datasets of varying sizes, including small, medium, and large instances, consistently demonstrate that the I-BP algorithm performs the best in both solution quality and computational efficiency when compared to existing exact and heuristic algorithms.
