| Title | Routing for New Automobiles Distributing in Auto-carrier |
| Author | Chuen-Yih Chen, Chih-Hung Lin |
| Summary | More than 400,000 new automobiles are sold in Taiwan every year. Efficiently distributing new automobiles from manufacturing centers to dealers is an important problem faced by managers. The paper addresses the New Automobiles Distribution Routing Problem (NADRP) in auto-carriers’ delivery of new automobiles to dealers. In fact, the NADRP is a variant of the Vehicles Routing Problem (VRP) which belongs to a variant of NP-hard. In the paper, a mathematical programming model is built and we develop a location-based heuristic model to solve the NADRP. The computational results of case study have shown that the models can efficiently solve the NADRP. |
