Abstract: |
The paper deals with small shipment
delivery planning problems for cities with hard and unstable or intensive
traffic. The problem is very significant today especially for big cites. When
planning road transportation and routes within a big city it is expedient to
work out the optimal system and achieve the best result. The most important
criteria is a ratio customers' demand satisfaction -
it is not enough to plan minimal transportation costs or vehicle's run only. total
delivery time as well as a rate of accuracy often is a corner-stone factor,
which influence the quality of delivery. it is
necessary to choose the best order how to serve customers into each circular
route. The authors divide small shipment
delivery problem into two groups - "problematic" and
"non-problematic" routes planning (depending on the traffic
intensity in the particular city). The authors of the paper recommend using
of the minimal growth method (MGM) to improve vehicle route planning problems
especially in cities with intensive traffic. |
