ABSTRACT
In this paper, a sanitation routing problem called the Rollon-Rolloff Vehicle Routing Problem (RRVRP) is defined. In the RRVRP, tractors move large trailers between locations and a disposal facility. The trailers are so large that the tractor can only transport one trailer at a time. In this paper, the RRVRP is defined, a mathematical programming formulation is presented, and two lower bounds and four heuristic algorithms are developed and tested on 20 different problems. Conclusions are derived and recommendations for further research are presented.

We study the tractor and semi-trailer routing problem (TSRP), a variant of the vehicle routing problem (VRP). In the TSRP model for this paper, vehicles are dispatched on a trailer-flow network where there is only one main depot, and all tractors originate and terminate in the main depot. Two...

A ( v, k, t)-covering design is a collection of k-subsets (called blocks) of a v-set ${\mathcal{V}}$ such that every t-subset of ${\mathcal{V}}$ is contained in at least one block. Given v, k and t, the goal of the covering design problem is to find a covering made of a minimum number of blocks....
