An exact column generation-based algorithm for Bi-Objective Vehicle Routing Problems
Résumé
We propose a new exact method for bi-objective vehicle routing problems where edges are associated with two costs. The method generates the minimum complete Pareto front of the problem by combining the scalarization of the objective function and the column generation technique. The aggregated objective allows to apply the exact algorithm for the mono-objective vehicle routing problem of Baldacci et al. (2008). The algorithm is applied to a bi-objective VRP with time-windows. Computational results are compared with a classical bi-objective technique. The results show the pertinence of the new method, especially for clustered instances.
