Abstract. The Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows is a complex combinatorial optimization problem which can be seen as a fusion of two well known sub-problems: the Travelling...
This paper proposes a new solution to the vehicle routing problem with time windows using an evolution strategy adopting viral infection. The problem belongs to the NP-hard class a...
This paper presents operators searching large neighborhoods in order to solve the vehicle routing problem. They make use of the pruning and propagation techniques of constraint pr...

In this paper, we propose a metaheuristic based on snneedinglikerestarts to diversifyand intensifylocalsearches for solving the vehicle muting problem with time windows (VR_PTW). ...
: In this paper, we study a new variant of the vehicle routing problem (VRP) with time windows, multi-shift, and overtime. In this problem, a limited fleet of vehicles is used repe...
