文摘

We propose a new bi-objective multi-product combined cross-docking truck-scheduling model. The model allows for direct drone shipping from supplier to customers and multiple fleets. An efficient multi-objective epsilon-constraint method is adapted to solve the model. The efficient Pareto frontiers are estimated by generating non-dominated solutions. We analyze the effects that changes in direct shipping costs have on the Pareto frontiers.
