Abstract

In this paper, the Vehicle Routing Problem with Stochastic Demands (VRPSD) is considered where customer demands are normally distributed. We propose a new model for computing the expected length of a tour. Monte Carlo simulation is used to demonstrate the accuracy of the model on randomly generated test problems. It is assumed that the service policy is non-divisible, meaning that the entire demand at each customer must be served in a single visit by a unique vehicle.
