A Reactive Variable Neighborhood Search for the Vehicle-Routing Problem with Time Windows
The purpose of this paper is to present a new deterministic metaheuristic based on a modification of Variable Neighborhood Search of Mladenovic and Hansen (1997) for solving the vehicle routing problem with time windows. Results are reported for the standard 100, 200 and 400 customer data sets by Solomon (1987) and Gehring and Homberger (1999) and two real-life problems by Russell (1995). The f...
متن کاملA hybrid variable neighborhood tabu search heuristic for the vehicle routing problem with multiple time windows
This paper presents a new hybrid variable neighborhood-tabu search heuristic for the Vehicle Routing Problem with Multiple Time windows. It also proposes a minimum backward time slack algorithm applicable to a multiple time windows environment. This algorithm records the minimum waiting time and the minimum delay during route generation and adjusts the arrival and departure times backward. The ...
متن کاملA Variable Neighborhood Search for the Multi Depot Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows
The aim of this paper is to propose an algorithm based on the philosophy of the Variable Neighborhood Search (VNS) to solve Multi Depot Vehicle Routing Problems with Time Windows. The paper has two main contributions. First, from a technical point of view, it presents the first application of a VNS for this problem and several design issues of VNS algorithms are discussed. Second, from a proble...
متن کاملAn Improved Hybrid Cuckoo Search Algorithm for Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows
Transportation in economic systems such as services, production and distribution enjoys a special and important position and provides a significant portion of the country's gross domestic product. Improvements in transportation system mean improvements in the traveling routes and the elimination of unnecessary distances in any system. The Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) is one of the practical co...
متن کاملA Multistage Very Large-Scale Neighborhood Search for the Vehicle Routing Problem with Soft Time Windows
This paper considers the VRP Problem with Soft Time-Windows (VRPSTW), a challenging routing problem due to its combination of hard time windows and a lexicographic objective function minimizing the number of vehicles, the violations of the soft time windows, and the total travel distance. The paper presents a multi-stage, variable neighborhood search algorithm for the VRPSTW, which uses the sam...
