199Vehicle Routing and Scheduling with Uncertainty

The trafc simulation method, on the other hand, can be used to

sparse the underlying network by eliminating smaller links at the time

of network coding and, also, by just considering the related area of the

network; however, it does not guarantee the exact real-life behavior.

While macroscopic simulation is fairly fast, the recent advancement

in computational power will tempt researchers to use microscopic

simulation for better replication of real-life effects of dynamic travel

times.

Similar to the dynamic customers’ case, the representation of the

dynamism in the dynamic travel time case is based on the rolling hori-

zon. In a DVRPTW with only dynamic travel times, an event can be
