Time Expanded Networks, built by considering the nodes of a base network over some time space, are powerful tools for the formulation of problems involving synchronization mechanisms. Those mechanisms may for instance be related to the interaction between resource production and consumption or between routing and scheduling. Still, in most cases, deriving algorithms from those formulations is difficult,...
We deal here with the routing of vehicles in charge of performing internal logistics tasks inside some protected area. Those vehicles are provided in energy by a local solar hydrogen production facility, with limited storage and time-dependent production capacities. In order to avoid importing energy from outside, one wants to synchronize energy production and consumption in order ot minimize both...
