Research from Nature Portfolio Recent studies have applied sophisticated algorithms to address contemporary issues in vehicle routing within intermodal logistics and environmental contexts. One ...

The Journal of the Operational Research Society, Vol. 58, No. 12 (Dec., 2007), pp. 1642-1651 (10 pages) In open vehicle routing problems, the vehicles are not required to return to the depot after ...

In the two-echelon capacitated vehicle routing problem (2E-CVRP), the delivery to customers from a depot uses intermediate depots, called satellites. The 2E-CVRP involves two levels of routing ...

The researchers further developed the technique by creating even 'smarter' ant algorithms by reducing the amount of decisions they make such that they can solve city-scale fleet routing problems.

In mathematical terms, this means finding the right quantum algorithms that could be used to most effectively model the industry's routing problems, on current or near-term devices.
