Expressways in China make use of the toll-by-weight scheme, in which expressway tolls are collected based on the weight and traveling distance of the vehicle. Most vehicle routing models assume that the cost of traversing each edge is equivalent to edge length or some constant; as a result, such...

In this paper we revise and modify an old branch-and-bound method for solving the asymmetric distance–constrained vehicle routing problem suggested by Laporte et al. in 1987. Our modification is based on reformulating distance–constrained vehicle routing problem into a travelling salesman...
