TI  - Mixed Integer Programming Formulation for Time-Dependent Petrol Station Replenishment Problem: A Real-Life Case in İstanbul
AB  - Limited resources must be used effectively, precisely, and damage-free considering the increase in the consumption of petroleum and petroleum-derived products. Therefore, the accurate and effective distribution of petroleum and related problems with petroleum distribution have attracted much attention among practitioners and optimization working researchers over the years. The petroleum distribution problem, as a version of the vehicle routing problem (VRP), deals with the planning of petroleum distribution from the depot(s) to the petrol stations safely and quickly. In this study, the petrol station replenishment problem (PSRP) is handled and a case study is presented for a public company located in Istanbul. The problem is considered as a time- dependent VRP with time windows. To handle the proposed time-dependent problem in a more realistic way, variable tanker speeds are considered based on traffic density. In this study, a novel mixed integer mathematical model to solve time dependent PSRP with time windows is proposed. The optimum route is determined in which risks such as environment and marine pollution may occur in case of possible accidents, and these risks are minimized by the proposed mathematical model considering factors such as traffic, vehicle speed, road structure, the road's proximity to the sea, and living areas
