A concept of the VRSD problem (Vehicle Routing, Scheduling and Dispatching Problem) and its formularization are proposed in order to bridge the gap between conventional methods and complex situations in the real world. A HIMS model (a calculation model with HIerarchical Multiplex Structure), is also proposed for the VRSD problem. It contains 3 levels: Atom level (system energies can be controlled by a heuristic method), Molecular level (system properties can be adjusted by a heuristic method
more » ... an optimum calculation), and Individual level (system architecture can be modified by fuzzy inference). The experimental results and the evaluations by experts from practice show that the HIMS model provides a feasible, fast, and efficient tool for the application in the real world VRSD problem.
