Pickup and Delivery Vehicle Routing and Scheduling Problem with Time Windows for Evaluating the Effect of E-Commerce on Urban Freight Transport

The pickup and delivery vehicle routing problem is an extension to the classical vehicle routing problem, where customers may both receive and send goods. If e-commerce will be more popular, both of these demand, receiving goods and sending goods, may increase, and also increase directly home delivery/pickup, and become consumers’ time windows more severe. This paper draw a comparison for evaluating the urban freight transport between some PDPTW (pickup and delivery vehicle routing and scheduling problem with time windows) and VRPTW (vehicle routing and scheduling problem with time windows), and present the models of PDPTW for evaluating the effect of e-commerce and the effect of facilitating pickup point on urban freight transport and the environment by calculating running distance and CO2 emissions.
