Two-Echelon Location-Routing Problem with Time Windows and Transportation Resource Sharing
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In this work, a two-echelon location-routing problem with time windows and transportation resource sharing (2E-LRPTWTRS) is solved by selecting facility locations and optimizing two-echelon vehicle routes. The optimal solutions improve the efficiency of a logistics network based on the geographical distribution and service time windows of logistics facilities and customers. Furthermore, resource utilization is maximized by enabling resource sharing strategies within and among different logistics facilities simultaneously. The 2E-LRPTWTRS is formulated as a biobjective optimization model, and obtaining the smallest number of required delivery vehicles and the minimum total operating cost are the two objective functions. A two-stage hybrid algorithm composed of k-means clustering and extended multiobjective particle swarm optimization algorithm is proposed for 2E-LRPTWTRS optimization. A self-adaptive mechanism of flight parameters is introduced and adopted during the iterative process to balance the evolution of particles and improve the efficiency of the two-stage hybrid algorithm. Moreover, 20 small-scale instances are used for an algorithm comparison with multiobjective genetic algorithm and nondominated sorting genetic algorithm-II, and the solutions demonstrate the superiority of the proposed algorithm in optimizing logistics networks. The proposed optimization model and hybrid algorithm are tested by employing a real-world case of 2E-LRPTWTRS in Chongqing, China, and the optimization results verify the positive role of the developed model and algorithm in improving logistics efficiency, reducing operating cost, and saving transportation resources in the operations of two-echelon logistics networks.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
