MedRoPax: A comprehensive software for solving heterogeneous vehicle routing problem with 3D loading constraints and cardboard box packing for medical supply distribution
Distributing medical supplies involves complex logistical challenges, including the need for optimized delivery routes and efficient packing. Medicines, whether ordered in small quantities or in bulk, are packed into cardboard boxes, which affect cargo dimensions, loading plans, and available delivery routes. Additionally, some medicines require refrigeration, making it necessary to coordinate both reefer and standard trucks. This study introduces MedRoPax, a comprehensive software solution designed to address these challenges. MedRoPax solves the 3D Loading Heterogeneous Vehicle Routing Problem (3LHVRP) and provides user-friendly tools for packing, loading visualization, and route planning. While tailored for medical supply distribution, MedRoPax is also well-suited for other logistics operations that demand both efficiency and safety.
