CIRRELT-2009-43, 2009Description: 22 sSubject(s): Online resources: Abstract: This paper considers the dynamic multi-period vehicle routing problem which deals with the distribution of orders from a depot to a set of customers over a multi-period time horizon. Customer orders and their feasible service periods are dynamically revealed over time. The objectives are to minimize total travel costs, and customer waiting, and to balance the daily workload over the planning horizon.
