The vehicle routing problem consists in determining a group of optimal delivery routes that allow satisfaction of the demand from customers spread along a network, which can be re...
In the open route version of the well-known vehicle routing problem, vehicles are not required to return to the depot; or if they are required, then they return by traveling the sa...
We use a local search method we term Large Neighbourhood Search (LNS) for solving vehicle routing problems. LNS meshes well with constraint programming technology and is analogous...
In this paper, we propose a metaheuristic based on snneedinglikerestarts to diversifyand intensifylocalsearches for solving the vehicle muting problem with time windows (VR_PTW). ...
