Recent advances in commercial vehicle operations (CVO), especially in communication and information technologies, allow the study of dynamic vehicle routing problems under new and updated information, such as traffic conditions and new customers. Two major operational benefits of CVO include ( a) dynamically assigning vehicles to time-sensitive demands, and ( b) efficiently rerouting vehicles according to current traffic conditions. In this research, stochastic vehicle routing problems (SVRP) are considered and extended to incorporate real-time information for dynamic vehicle routing problems. The SVRP model is formulated by a chance-constrained model and is solved by CPLEX with branch-and-bound techniques. Numerical experiments are conducted in a Taichung city network to investigate dynamic vehicle routing strategies under real-time information supply strategies and to assess the effectiveness of such strategies in a dynamic perspective.

The multiple depot vehicle routing problems with mix pickups and deliveries are often met in real-life scenarios of transportation logistics, but it has not received much attention by researchers. In this problem, to allocate borderline customer to appropriate depot is a difficulty to overcome. In this paper, a genetic algorithm is supposed to allocate them. Then the tabu search algorithm is incorporated into the genetic algorithm to solve the single depot vehicle routing problems with mix pickups and deliveries. The proposed algorithm is successfully applied to benchmark instances in the literature, generating new best solutions.
