Multiple probabilistic traveling salesman problem in the coordination of drug transportation-In the context of sustainability goals and Industry 4.0.

Improving the effectiveness of route planning, especially in road transport deliveries is a challenge we need to face in the context of advancing climate change and the sustainable development goals. The main aim of the paper is to demonstrate the above average and utilitarian significance of the mu...
