Solving Capacitated Closed Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows (CCVRPTW) using BRKGA with local search

Solving multi-objective team orienteering problem with time windows using adjustment iterated local search

One of the problems tourism faces is how to make itineraries more effective and efficient. This research has solved the routing problem with the objective of maximizing the score and minimizing the time needed for the tourist’s itinerary. Maximizing the score means collecting a maximum of various kinds of score from each destination that is visited. The profits differ according to whether those...

Using an Ant Colony approach for Solving capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem with time Windows

In this paper, a capacitated vehicle routing problem with time windows (CVRPTW) is presented. In this work, a new idea for calculating the heuristic value to improve the performance of ant colony algorithms when solving capacitated vehicle routing problems with hard time windows is proposed. The performance of the model and the heuristic approach are evaluated by Solomon’s VRPTW benchmark probl...

Competitive Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows and Stochastic Demands

The competitive vehicle routing problem is one of the important issues in transportation area. In this paper a new method for competitive VRP with time windows and stochastic demand is introduced. In the presented method a three time bounds are given and the probability of arrival time between each time bound is assumed to be uniform. The demands of each customer are different in each time wind...

An 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...
