Abstract

This paper introduces a dataset generated for research on Two-Echelon Electric Vehicle Routing Problems (2E-EVRPs) with additional constraints, including time windows, simultaneous pickup and delivery (SPD), and partial deliveries. The dataset is derived from established benchmark instances from the VRP and EVRP literature and further extended using methodologies from the literature. It features diverse scenarios designed to challenge and validate solution approaches proposed for two-echelon routing algorithms under various constraints.

The dataset comprises a variety of instances, ranging from small (5-15 customers) to large (100 customers), and incorporates different geographical configurations, including clustered, random, and random-clustered distributions. Key modifications include integrating satellite locations, enhanced vehicle configurations concerning electric vehicle (EV) constraints, and adjusting time windows to accommodate the two-echelon structure. The dataset also supports multiple delivery scenarios, allowing for single delivery, simultaneous pickups and deliveries (SPD), and partial deliveries, enabling researchers to test the performance of their algorithms across a range of realistic constraints.

期刊介绍： Data in Brief provides a way for researchers to easily share and reuse each other''s datasets by publishing data articles that: -Thoroughly describe your data, facilitating reproducibility. -Make your data, which is often buried in supplementary material, easier to find. -Increase traffic towards associated research articles and data, leading to more citations. -Open up doors for new collaborations. Because you never know what data will be useful to someone else, Data in Brief welcomes submissions that describe data from all research areas.
