Peak-hour vehicle routing for first-mile transportation : problem formulation and algorithms by Jiang, Guiyuan, Lam, Siew-Kei, Ning, Fangxin, He, Peilan, Xie, Jidong

“…This paper studies the vehicle routing problem (VRP) for the first-mile transportation, which aims at finding the optimal travel routes for a vehicle fleet to deliver passengers from their doorstep to the depots, where the passengers can continue their journeys using fixed-route buses or trains. We focus on the Peak-Hour VRP (PHVRP) for a limited vehicle fleet capacity to serve a large volume of travel requests, with the aim of maximizing the number of served passengers. …”
