| Abstract | This work compares the transportation costs incurred by three alternative strategies for shipping items from a central warehouse to a set of customers and vice versa. Two-dimensional loading patterns have to be determined for the transported items. The vehicle routing problem (VRP) with simultaneous pick-ups and deliveries and two-dimensional loading constraints, which considers that vehicles offer simultaneous pick-up and delivery service, is used as the basis for comparisons. Two alternative strategies are considered: the VRP with backhauls and two-dimensional loading constraints, where pick-up items are collected only when the delivery items of a route have been unloaded, and the bi-directional VRP with two-dimensional loading constraints, where pick-up and delivery items are transported by different types of vehicle trips. The examined models are solved via a common local-search method for the routing aspects, integrated with a packing heuristic for developing feasible item loadings. To conduct the model comparison, we solve new benchmark instances with diverse features in terms of the graphs, the characteristics of the transported items, and the participation of pick-up items in the overall set of transported items. Discussion is provided on the routing costs incurred by each transportation model and the behavior of the employed methodology. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
