Resumen

El problema generalizado de rutas de trenes de carretera (generalized truck-and-trailer routing problem, GTTRP) constituye un modelo unificado para problemas de rutas de vehículos con remolques y asignación fija camión-remolque. El GTTRP es una generalización del truck-and-trailer routing problem (TTRP), que es una extensión del conocido problema de rutas de vehículos (vehicle routing problem, VRP). En el GTTRP, la flota de vehículos consiste en camiones sin remolque (camiones solos) y trenes de carretera. Algunos clientes pueden ser visitados exclusivamente por un camión solo o un camión sin su remolque, otros pueden ser visitados también por un tren de carretera. Además de las ubicaciones de los clientes hay otro tipo de localización llamada ubicación de trasbordo. Allí los remolques pueden ser aparcados, y es posible efectuar un trasbordo de carga desde un camión a su remolque.

En este trabajo se presentan dos modelos de programación lineal entero mixto (MIP). Además, se describen un algoritmo exacto branch-and-price y variantes heurísticas de este algoritmo. Se presentan y analizan estudios computacionales con los algoritmos. Se usan problemas generados aleatoriamente, diseñados para semejar situaciones reales, y problemas TTRP de la literatura. Los resultados muestran que, utilizando un algoritmo heurístico basado en generación de columnas, se pueden resolver problemas de estructura y tamaño real en poco tiempo y con solución de alta calidad.
