The vehicle routing problem: State of the art classification and review (2016, background): “A number of books (e.g. Golden, Raghavan, & Wasil, 2008; Toth & Vigo, 2002, 2014) and a considerable amount of proceedings have also contributed to the VRP literature that exists today.”
A Hybrid Genetic Algorithm for Multidepot and Periodic Vehicle Routing Problems (2012, methodology): “Contrasting with the two previous methods, Matos and Oliveira (2004) proposed an ant colony optimization (ACO) approach that first optimizes routes, then schedules.”
Routing problems with loading constraints (2010, methodology): “Lower bounds for such subproblem are obtained by relaxing it to the parallel processor scheduling problem known as P ‖ Cmax, and computing the lower bounds proposed by Hochbaum and Shmoys (1987) and by Dell’Amico and Martello (1995), while the exact solution is obtained through dynamic programming.”
Rich vehicle routing problems: From a taxonomy to a definition (2015, background): “Many books or book chapters have been devoted to the VRP, its variants, and to exact and heuristic algorithms, see, e.g., Toth and Vigo (2002a), Cordeau, Laporte, Savelsbergh, and Vigo (2007), and Golden, Raghavan, and Wasil (2008).”
