Résumé:
The capacitated vehicle routing problem with stochastic de-
mands can be modelled using either the chance-constrained approach or
the recourse approach. In previous works, we extended the former ap-
proach to address the case where uncertainty on customer demands is
represented by belief functions, that is where customers have so-called
evidential demands. In this paper, we propose an extension of the re-
course approach for this latter case. We also provide a technique that
makes computations tractable for realistic situations. The feasibility of
our approach is then shown by solving instances of this difficult problem
using a metaheuristic algorithm.
