A. Determined the exact structure of the asymptotic optimal solution value of the VRP with capacity and time window constraints and used it to develop a new and efficient algorithm. In Bramel and Simchi-Levi (1996) we have characterized the asymptotic optimal cost of the VRP with Capacity and Time Window constraints. This characterization enabled us to understand the algorithmic structure requi...
