People, planet, and profits in parcel delivery
A novel model and algoritm for social and environmental aware parcel delivery
Introduction
A sustainable delivery model
A novel multi-objective algorithm
Figure 1: A mapping from the heuristic search space to the solution space of the problem. Each heuristic on the left produces a new solution on the right, some of which could be infeasible, e.g., solution ``b`` in solution space. A transition between heuristics ``A`` and ``C``, may produce a "jump" in the solution space, that is a solution ``c`` completely different from solution ``a``. Some transitions between heuristics may return a so-called "neighborhood" move in the solution space, like from solution ``a`` to ``c``. Both jumps and neighborhood moves are welcome, depending on the algorithm's elapsed execution time.
Case study results and insignhts
City delivery
Show example map with markers for pickup and delivery locations. Add layer to show connections between pickup-delivery pairs.
Show an example frontier of possible delivery plans.
