Integration of geographical information systems, meta-heuristics and optimization models for the employee transportation problem

Multi Depot Vehicle Routing Problem and Geographical Information System Integration: Retail Stores Case Study

“…Research by [36]; did the analysis of city logistic centre in Istanbul with the integration of GIS and Binary Particle Swarm Optimization (BPSO) algorithm. Another literature from [7]; proposed the integration of GIS, metaheuristic algorithm, and optimation model to solve employee transporation problem to fix the route planning and vehicle assignment in order to do cost minimazion. Research by [37]; defined the VRP as spatial problem and proposed that the decision making of this scoop needs the integration of GIS and optimation method (GIS-O) with multi-step approach to solve Distance Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (DCVRP).…”

“…Constraint (6) arranges each route is fulfiled by maximum one fleet. Constraint (7) ensure that the same fleet in and out an assigned customer. Constraint ( 8) is the limit of the capacity on each fleet.…”

“…Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) has large area of implementation, from non-profit organization in government to the public sector. For example, the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (CVRP) on tsunami disaster preparation in Phuket, Thailand [6]; the employee transportation problem [7]; and the integration of GIS with Multi Criteria Analysis (MCA) on energy sector [8]. This paper will observe further development based on mathematical model adopted from [9] with GIS integration on top of mathematical modeling as a part of its result visualization.…”
