A branch-and-price algorithm for the vehicle routing problem with 2-dimensional loading constraints

In this paper, we describe a branch-and-price algorithm for the capacitated vehicle routing problem with 2-dimensional loading constraints and a virtually unlimited number of vehicles. The column generation subproblem is solved heuristically through variable neighborhood search. Branch-and-price is...
