Abstract

 In this paper, I examine the problem of finding the optimal route that minimizes the sum of the weighted expected distances between the moving service vehicle and the stochastic demand points. The problem is investigated using a quadratic function for the route. Different distance measures and probability distributions of the stochastic demand points are considered.
