This paper introduces a novel bi-objective routing model based on Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) principles. Our model not only aims to minimize vehicle transportation costs and prevent time window violations but also endeavors to mitigate environmental pollutants. This study addresses the complex challenge of optimizing routes for heterogeneous vehicle fleets usingAIoT technology. Analyzing the bi-objective model using AI tools (MOSCA and NSGA II), we unveil a fascinating trade-off: as energy consumption decreases, system costs increase. Employing robust optimization techniques, we validate the model's performance under pessimistic conditions characterized by rising uncertainty rates. Notably, heightened uncertainty correlates with increased objective function values. Through a series of diverse test cases, we observe that MOSCA demonstrates superior efficiency, notably outperforming in NP, MD, and T indices. Our findings offer valuable insights for practitioners, policymakers, and researchers in the domains of transportation optimization, AIoT, and environmental sustainability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Proposing a robust designed facility location is one of the most effective ways to hedge against unexpected disruptions and failures in a transportation network system. This paper considers the combined facility location/network design problem with regard to transportation link disruptions and develops a mixed integer linear programming formulation to model it. With respect to the probability of link disruptions, the objective function of the model minimizes the total costs, including location costs, link construction costs and also the expected transportation costs. An efficient hybrid algorithm based on LP relaxation and variable neighborhood search metaheuristic is developed in order to solve the mathematical model. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed hybrid algorithm has suitable efficiency in terms of duration of solution time and determining excellent solution quality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
