Abstract

We commonly use Solomon Benchmark Dataset to study vehicle routing in transport and logistics. In this paper we have extended the Solomon dataset by adding CO₂ emissions, energy use, noise, and distance to focus on eco-friendly transport. The purpose is to make it suitable for smart cities & EVs by resolving traffic, charging and pollution issues. We have tested the extended dataset using existing eco-friendly routing methods in MATLAB. The Eco-VRP with EVs method reduced emissions, energy use and costs however it maintains travel time reasonably. The best results we got from Eco-VRP with Smart Charging, in which we used renewable energy and smart charging. The Eco-VRP with Smart Charging gives least distance, emissions, energy use and cost, making it the best green option. This study demonstrates the importance of sustainability factors in vehicle routing for smart cities.
