摘要

Driver fatigue is the cause of many truck crashes taking place today. In order to provide safety to the truck driver, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has implemented revised Hours of Service (HOS) regulations effective on October 1st 2005. According to the revised rules, drivers should take a break of 10 consecutive hours after 11 hours of driving time or 14 hours of duty time that includes driving time and service time, such as loading and unloading cargo. This has caused a severe increase in the cost for the trucking industry which in turn hurt shippers and ultimately customers. Due to periodic shortage of truck drivers and the new HOS regulations, the problem of scheduling drivers has been aggravated. In addition to that, delays in picking/unloading at the service center and stiffer fines/penalties resulting from new HOS regulations has decreased productivity in the trucking industry.;Traffic congestion is ignored in most of the vehicle routing literature. In this Thesis, traffic congestion is modeled by using time dependent travel speed along each segment of the transportation network, which in turn changes the travel time required to reach the destination. Thus travel speed variability of different highway segments over the course of a day is explicitly considered in the evaluation of routes. A systematic way of routing vehicles to avoid traffic congestion or waiting at customer's location as well as coordinating timely mandatory breaks will improve both safety of truck transportation and efficiency of distribution supply chains.;A single truck routing model with time dependent travel times, HOS regulations, multiple delivery locations and service time windows is formulated in this Thesis. The objective is to minimize the total time required to serve a given number of customers. The components of the total time are travel time, break time, waiting time and service time at the customer nodes. A driver is not allowed to start service before the beginning of the service time window of the customer; he/she waits at the node or takes a daily break before the start of service. In addition, it has been assumed that once the driver starts service at a location he/she is not allowed to take a daily break before the completion of service. The path taken by the truck from a customer k to a customer l depends on the departure time from node k and is found by implementing the time dependent Dijkstra's algorithm that incorporates HOS regulations. An initial tour is constructed by a greedy heuristic.;Simulated Annealing (SA) metaheuristic has been applied to most of the combinatorial optimization problems. We chose SA as the solution procedure for our problem because of its ability to escape from local minima and its easy adaptability to the problem. SA accepts uphill task with certain probability which allows the heuristic to escape from local minima.;The SA heuristic is adapted to obtain near optimal solutions to our problem. The accuracy comparison was obtained by finding the optimal solution with explicit enumeration on small size problems of up to 10 customers. Our experimental results show that the heuristic gives good quality solutions (average deviation is less than 1% from the optimal objective value) in reasonable computation time. The methodology can be easily modified and adapted to more complex problems involving multiple capacitated vehicles with pickup and delivery.
