Open vehicle routing problem with demand uncertainty and its robust strategies

作者：

Highlights：

• The robust optimization model of OVRP with uncertain demands was proposed.

• Four robust strategies to cope with the uncertain demands were proposed.

• An improved differential evolution algorithm (IDE) was presented to solve the ROVRP.

• The performances of four different robust strategies were analyzed.
