Abstract
The Urban Last Mile Logistics (LML) is known to be the most expensive, least efficient and most polluting section of the supply chain. To that extent, a multi-objective heterogeneous capacitated vehicle routing problem with time windows and simultaneous pickup and delivery (MoHCVRPTWSPD) is formulated and solved to cater to this section of the supply chain. The proposed model is solved through two proposed methods that are based on exact methods. A small benchmark was adopted from the current literature to test the proposed methods and computational results are reported. Based on the computational results, a number of insights into the MoHCVRP-TWSPD problem are provided.
