Abstract

Business activities are expanding daily as numerous customers enter the supply chain. The distribution, transportation, and supply chain management problems currently ravaging business activities are of different issues ranging from varying customers with other entry conditions into the market, different vehicles with various conditions and different restrictions facing the routes traversed are not left out. This paper aims to develop a model for Intermittencies in Vehicle Routing Problems (IVRP) that will holistically annex the various priorities and road restrictions leading to a forced split delivery occasioned by either the Customers’ Vehicle Preference, the Road Time Restriction, the Vehicle Weight Restriction, or the Vehicle Height Restriction. It will consider the service choices and recent research updates on customers’ intermittencies in vehicle routing problems as well as look into the differences in customers’ demand over a vehicle carrying capacity. The paper discusses various stages of Late Request Customers (LRC) as Pre-Service stage, During Service Stage, and Post Service Stage that interposes in Early Request Customers (ERC) hence resulting in intermittencies referred to as Intermittencies in Vehicle Routing Problems (IVRP). The paper conceptualizes the priorities that arise in vehicle routing and stress the interconnectivity between priorities as it affects the interjectory intermittent situations and road restrictions. Solving problems of this nature could be quite tasking, requiring optimizing along with different directions. Reasons for these are associated with uncertainties that real-life situations make life dynamical, opening the vista that brought about intermittencies in Vehicle Routing Problems (IVRP). To achieve these feats, this paper formulates dynamics that fuse the various stages of LRC into ERC as well as considers the splitting effect caused by the road restrictions, analyses the fused LRC into the formulated relation, and encapsulates road restrictions.
