A Model for Vehicle Routing Problem under Returns and Emission Consideration in B2C E-Commerce Logistics by Sedat Belbağ

“…A clustering-based solution algorithm has been introduced to solve large-sized instances within reasonable solution times.Findings: The numerical analysis for the base case shows that the suggested model can assist decision-makers in coordinating forward distribution and reverse collection decisions within the context of sustainable e-commerce logistics. The result of the adjusted model for minimizing emission shows that a reduction of nearly 17% in total emission amount can be achieved, however, the adjusted model postpones all demand for the collection of returned items. …”
