Résumé

This book investigates vehicle routing under operational constraints through two case studies in Guelma, Algeria: postal distribution by Algérie Poste and technician dispatch by Algérie Télécom. It presents duration-constrained routing models, ant colony optimisation, variable neighbourhood search, automatic parameter tuning and lexicographic treatment of priority requests. Postal experiments examine route shortening and solver configuration; field-service experiments evaluate a three-stage multi-depot method that prioritises urgent customers while improving service coverage. Data preparation, travel-time matrices, experimental protocols and statistical comparisons are documented. The book is intended for students, researchers and practitioners in operations research, computer science and logistics.
