Description

This project deals with inviting in-store customers for delivering parcels, ordered by on-line customers, on their way home. The remaining parcels must be delivered by the company's fleet of professional drivers, whose route is optimized as a vehicle routing problem. This allows reducing environmental impacts and urban congestion. The project concerns the development of models and tools for solving this problem, which turns out to be a very challenging stochastic combinatorial optimization problem.

Reference Monthly Value (gross): €2.128,34
