Abstract
In Vehicle Routing Problem with Backhauls (VRPB) is a special type of vehicle routing problem in an effort to reduce the overall cost of shipment from/to a depot. In VRPB, customers are divided into two categories as linehaul customers and backhaul customers. A vehicle that starts from depot first delivers goods to linehaul customers, then bring goods from backhaul customers to the depot on the way back. In this study, we tackle the VRPB problem with electric vehicles. Electric vehicles require special attention in route planning as they also require stops for charging. To this end, we developed a two-stage optimization procedure which constructs the routes for delivery and backhauls and determine the location of EV charging stations by taking into account both constructed routes and charging needs of the vehicles. The method is presented on an example dataset received from a manufacturing company located in Eskisehir, Türkiye.
