Abstract
The impact of congestion in transportation has become one of the main concerns regarding urban planing in large cities. Time-Dependent Vehicle Routing Problems (TDVRPs) is the name given to a broad family of VRPs that explicitly incorporate the congestion by considering variable travel times. In this paper we study the Time-Dependent Elementary Shortest Path Problem with Resource Constraints (TDESPPRC), that appears as the pricing sub-problem in column generation-based approaches for TDVRPs. We consider two integer programming formulations which exploit the characteristics of the time-dependent travel time function and are evaluated on benchmark instances. On preliminary computational experiments, the approach is able to effectively solve instances with up to 25 vertices in reasonable times, showing its potential to be used within a Branch and Price algorithm.
期刊介绍：
Electronic Notes in Discrete Mathematics is a venue for the rapid electronic publication of the proceedings of conferences, of lecture notes, monographs and other similar material for which quick publication is appropriate. Organizers of conferences whose proceedings appear in Electronic Notes in Discrete Mathematics, and authors of other material appearing as a volume in the series are allowed to make hard copies of the relevant volume for limited distribution. For example, conference proceedings may be distributed to participants at the meeting, and lecture notes can be distributed to those taking a course based on the material in the volume.
