Summary

The Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) with three-dimension (3D) constraints (3L-CVRP) is a variant of the VRP with many possible applications in real-world scenarios. The purpose of this paper is to propose a Decision Support System for the VRP with pickup and delivery and 3D constraints (3L-CVRP-PD), considering multiple criteria. A Graphical User Interface (GUI) is developed, aiming to provide a better interaction experience with the software. The GUI includes a 3D representation of the loading bay for each vehicle, a feature that makes solutions easier to comprehend. The routing segment of the 3L-CVRP-PD is solved using a heuristic method, while item packing takes place in an exhaustive manner and multiple solutions are generated for each problem. The solutions are ranked by a Multi-Criteria Decision Method (MCDM). Two MCDMs are tested in this paper, the Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment of Evaluations (PROMETHEE) and the UTility Additives* (UTASTAR), on modified instances from the literature.
