Title: New heuristics for traveling salesman and vehicle routing problems with time windows

Conference ·
OSTI ID:36057

We consider variants of the Traveling Salesman (TSP) and Vehicle Routing (VRP) Problems in which each customer can only be visited within a pre-specified (hard) time-window. We first present a two-phase (construction and post-optimization) generalized insertion heuristic for the TSPTW. This insertion heuristic is then imbedded in a tabu search metaheuristic in order to solve the VRPTW. Computational results on standard benchmark problems will be reported.
