Vehicle routing problems for city logistics (2017, background): “Then, inspiration can rather be taken from the literature on synchronized VRP (see the recent survey by Drexl [29]).”
A survey of variants and extensions of the location-routing problem (2015, background): “…(Ghiani et al. 2001, Tarantilis et al. 2008), pickup-and-delivery problems with transshipments, vehicle and driver routing and scheduling problems with driver changes at relay stations en route, and VRPs with trailers and transshipments (see Drexl 2012a for a survey of the last three problems).”
The vehicle routing problem: State of the art classification and review (2016, methodology): “…the progression in the research field and the development of commercial software for the VRP. Nowadays VRP software is being used by thousands of companies, among others Coca-Cola Enterprises and Anheuser-Busch Inbev, in a large variety of industry sectors (Drexl, 2012a; Partyka & Hall, 2014).”
The benefits of meeting points in ride-sharing systems (2015, methodology): “Lee and Savelsbergh [2014] consider the employment of a small number of dedicated drivers to serve riders that would otherwise remain unmatched.”
Rich vehicle routing problems: From a taxonomy to a definition (2015, background): “An elaborate and recent survey on vehicle routing problems with multiple synchronization constraints is due to Drexl (2012b).”
Optimization Approaches for the Traveling Salesman Problem with Drone (2016, background): “From this perspective, the TSP-D can be considered to fall in the class of vehicle routing problems that require synchronization between vehicles [Drexl, 2012].”
A concise guide to existing and emerging vehicle routing problem variants (2019, background): “2009, Parragh and Doerner 2018) may be jointly requested for a single task, leading to VRPs with synchronization constraints; these are notoriously difficult to solve (Drexl 2012).”
On the Min-cost Traveling Salesman Problem with Drone (2015, background): “These two vehicles must wait for each other at the rendezvous point to fulfil the movement-synchronization characteristic [5].”
