摘要:

车辆路径问题(VRP)是研究最多的组合优化问题之一,已经提出了许多模型和算法。为了解决现实世界VRP应用中涉及的复杂性、不确定性和动态性,机器学习(ML)方法已与分析方法结合使用,以增强不同问题解决方案中的问题公式和算法性能。然而,相关论文分散在几个传统研究领域,术语非常不同,有时令人困惑。本文首先全面回顾了将分析技术与ML工具相结合来解决VRP问题的混合方法。具体来说,我们审查了新兴的研究流ML辅助VRP建模和ML辅助VRP优化。我们的结论是,ML可以有利于增强VRP建模,并提高在线和离线VRP优化算法的性能。最后,讨论了VRP研究面临的挑战和未来的机遇。

英文摘要:

The Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) is one of the most intensively studied combinatorial optimisation problems for which numerous models and algorithms have been proposed. To tackle the complexities, uncertainties and dynamics involved in real-world VRP applications, Machine Learning (ML) methods have been used in combination with analytical approaches to enhance problem formulations and algorithmic performance across different problem solving scenarios. However, the relevant papers are scattered in several traditional research fields with very different, sometimes confusing, terminologies. This paper presents a first, comprehensive review of hybrid methods that combine analytical techniques with ML tools in addressing VRP problems. Specifically, we review the emerging research streams on ML-assisted VRP modelling and ML-assisted VRP optimisation. We conclude that ML can be beneficial in enhancing VRP modelling, and improving the performance of algorithms for both online and offline VRP optimisations. Finally, challenges and future opportunities of VRP research are discussed.
