Abstract

The Vehicle Routing and Loading Problem (VRLP) results by combining vehicle routing, possibly with time windows, and three-dimensional loading with additional packing constraints frequently occurring in freight transportation. Different formulations of the VRLP are considered and the issue is discussed under which circumstances routing and packing should be tackled as a combined task. A two-stage heuristic is presented following a “packing first, routing second” approach. High quality results are achieved in short computation times for the 46 VRLP instances recently introduced by A. Moura and J. F. Oliveira.
