Location Routing Problem (LRP)

Principles learned

  • Combine list and set decision variables

  • Use the find operator

  • Use a lambda expression to define a recursive array

Problem

../_images/location-routing-problem-lrp.svg

In the Location Routing Problem (LRP), which is an extension of the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (CVRP), a fleet of delivery vehicles with uniform capacity must service customers with known demand for a single commodity. Contrary to the CVRP, which treats the LRP problem with only one depot location, different depot locations are available, each of them having its own opening cost and capacity. The vehicles end their routes at their starting depot. Each customer can only be served by one vehicle. The objectives are to determine which depots to open and routes to take while minimizing the total cost, such that all customers are served, and the total demand served by each depot and truck does not exceed its capacity.

Data

The instances used in this example come from the S. Barreto instances.

The format of the data files is as follows:

  • The number of customers

  • The number of depots

  • The x and y coordinates of the depots and the customers

  • The capacity of the delivery vehicles

  • The capacity of each depot

  • The demand for every customer

  • The opening cost of each depot

  • The opening cost of a route

  • The areCostDouble boolean value indicating if costs should be rounded

Program

This LocalSolver model defines a sequence for nbTrucks trucks as a list variable (customersSequences[r]). It corresponds to the sequence of customers visited. To ensure that all customers must be served, all the list variables are constrained to form a partition by using to the “partition” operator. The model also defines a group of sequences associated to every depot as a set variable (depots[d]). The depots are also constrained to form a partition, to ensure that every sequence is associated to a depot.

The number of sequences nbTrucks is determined as the minimum number of trucks necessary to serve every customer without overloading the vehicles, multiplied by a factor 1.5 to ensure feasibility. The quantity delivered to a customer has to meet the corresponding demand. The quantity served in a sequence quantityServed[r] is defined with a sum and the access to the demands array with the “at” operator and must not exceed its capacity.

To determine the depot assigned to a route, we use the “find” operator. A depot is considered opened if at least one (non-empty) sequence uses it. This condition is computed with the “count” operator. The depotsCost are defined as the sum of the opening costs of the opened depots. Similarly, a sequence is considered opened if at least one customer is served for this sequence. We calculate the total distance for every sequence by adding the distance from the depot to the first customer, the distances between every customer and the distance back to the depot from the last customer. The sum of sequenceLength and openingCostRoute corresponds to the routingCost.

The objective is to minimize the sum of depotsCost and routingCost.
