Abstract
Under growing concerns with sustainable society, green logistic optimization is becoming a keen interest to provide a plausible solution aiming at qualified service in global and competitive distribution system. As a key technology for such deployment, we have engaged in The studies on vehicle routing problems (VRP) noticing that transportation cost and/or CO2 emission actually depend not only travelling distance but loading weights. As a special variant of such VRP, many researches are recently turned to the VRP with simultaneous pickup and delivery. Hence, we propose a novel saving-based hybrid method that is amenable for various real world applications under the present concern. Finally, numerical experiments are provided lo validate effectiveness of the proposed method through comparison.
