Two-Stage Heuristic Algorithm for a New Model of Hazardous Material Multi-depot Vehicle Routing Problem

Route Optimization for Hazardous Chemicals Transportation under Time-Varying Conditions

“…Zou and Zhang [12] proposed five major hazardous chemicals transportation route selection indexes from the perspective of the transportation subject, and constructed a multiobjective hazardous chemicals transportation route optimization model with a hybrid time window, which was solved by using an improved genetic algorithm. Yuan et al [13] established a biobjective optimization model considering both transportation cost and transportation risk, introduced a population hybridization strategy to improve the particle swarm algorithm, and tested it on a benchmark algorithm. Bula et al [14] proposed a biobjective optimization model to minimize the transportation cost and the transportation risk from the point of view of different interested parties and solved it by using a neighborhood search algorithm.…”

“…Once an accident occurs during the transportation of hazardous chemicals, it will cause serious damage to the surrounding population, environment, and economic property [4]. On 13 June 2020, an explosion of a liquefied petroleum gas tanker occurred on the G15 Shenhai Expressway near Liangshan Village, Daxi Town, Wenling City, Zhejiang Province. The explosion caused the extensive collapse of surrounding residential and factory buildings, resulting in a total of 20 deaths and 175 injuries, with a direct economic loss of CNY 94.77815 million [5].…”

Big Data for transportation and mobility: recent advances, trends and challenges

“…To this end, prescriptive analytics take advantage of the knowledge gained by their prior descriptive and predictive counterparts. In transportation and logistics optimisation problems have systematically benefited from techniques for prescriptive analysis, such that logistics [87], active traffic management [88] or user‐driver‐passenger information services [89].…”
