Description
Summary:Lately, the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) in the city, known as City VRP, has gained popularity with its importance in city logistics. Similar to city logistics, City VRP mainly differs from conventional VRP in terms of the stakeholders involved, namely the shipper, carrier, resident, and administrator. Accordingly, this paper surveys the City VRP literature categorized by stakeholders and summarizes the constraints, models, and solution methods for VRP in urban cities. City VRPs are also analyzed based on the problem of interest considered by the stakeholders and the corresponding models that have been proposed in response. Through this review, we identify the state of the art of City VRP, highlight the core challenging issues, and suggest some potential research area in this field that have remained underexplored.
