Abstract :
[en] Vehicles that run on fossil fuel emit numerous air pollutants, and transitioning from conventional vehicles to their electric counterparts within a transportation fleet significantly reduces overall emissions. Elec- tric vehicles are now an economically viable mode of transportation with decreasing cost of batteries, increasing power output, and rapid expan- sion of charging infrastructure. The Electric Vehicle Routing Problem (EVRP) aims to create routing plans for customers using a fleet of elec- tric vehicles with diverse battery constraints. This paper proposes a new mathematical model for solving simultaneous pickup and delivery vehicle routing using a heterogeneous electric and fossil fuel vehicle fleet. The model is tested on logistics partner data using a standard CPLEX solver, and we observe promising results.
