TORO O., Eliana M.; ESCOBAR Z., Antonio H.  y  GRANADA E., Mauricio. LITERATURE REVIEW ON THE VEHICLE ROUTING PROBLEM IN THE GREEN TRANSPORTATION CONTEXT. Luna Azul [online]. 2016, n.42, pp.362-387. ISSN 1909-2474.  https://doi.org/10.17151/luaz.2016.42.21.

In the efficient management of the supply chain the optimal management of transport of consumables and finished products appears. The costs associated with transport have direct impact on the final value consumers must pay, which in addition to requiring competitive products also demand that they are generated in environmentally friendly organizations. Aware of this reality, this document is intended to be a starting point for Master's and Doctoral degree students who want to work in a line of research recently proposed: green routing. The state of the art of the vehicle routing problem is presented in this paper, listing its variants, models and methodologies for solution. Furthermore, the proposed interaction between variants of classical routing problems and environmental effects of its operations, known in the literature as Green-VRP is presented. The goal is to generate a discussion in which mathematical models and solution strategies that can be applied within organizations that consider within their objectives an efficient and sustainable operation are posed.

Palabras clave : Heuristics for the vehicle routing problem; vehicle routing problem; Emission estimation techniques; green transportation.
