Abstract
Almost one third of all energy is used for road transportation and one important destructive environmental effect of fuel consumption in road transport is its contribution to atmospheric pollution. The amount fuel consumed and pollution emitted by a vehicle depends on its load, velocity and other factors. There are carbon balance between the total carbon in fuel and the total carbon in all of the combustion that are emitted to gas pollution. This paper presents a Mathematical models of Environmental-Friendly’ Vehicle Routing Problem or Fuel & Pollution-Routing Problem (FPRP), an extension of the classical Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) with a wide and more all-inclusive objective function that accounts not only to minimizing the travel distance, but also minimizing for the amount of greenhouse gas emissions, fuel consumption, total travel times with stochastic velocity and time window, and then solved the problem by LINGO Programming on small-realistic instances. We obtained a reasonable result and also founded that it’s significantly more challenging to solve to optimality. Nevertheless, it had the potential of better yielding of reduction emission result than Classical Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP)
