Table 1. Combinations used with different individual dependent variables for model validation.
Table 2. ST/DT values and truck distribution for different stall categories.
Figure 1. (a) Clockwise from left: Spatial distribution of month-wise truck demand; (b) Determining the planning period based on truck demand; (c) Fair timeline schedule of all the fairs within the planning period.
Figure 2. OD pairs in terms of distances of all the fair location nodes.
Figure 3. Clockwise from left (a) VRP output map for one origin and three destination fairs on day 53. Three routes are generated for the given day that require delivery to 3 distinct locations. (b) VRP output map for single-origin and single destination on day 107. A single route is generated for the given day. (c) The output table shows the total distance and time for the entire operation within the day. (d) VRP output map for a single origin and single destination on day 167.
