Multiple Variable Neighborhood Search Enriched with ILP Techniques for the Periodic Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows
Abstract. In this work we extend a VNS for the periodic vehicle routing problem with time windows (PVRPTW) to a multiple VNS (mVNS) where several VNS instances are applied cooperat...
