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...
We address a large scale waste collection vehicle routing problem with time windows (VRPTW) complicated by multiple disposal trips and drivers lunch breaks. A fitness search spac...

This paper presents an adaptive genetic algorithm (GA) to solve the Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows (VRPTW) to near optimal solutions. The algorithm employs a unique dec...
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...

Deceptive problems have been considered difficult for ant colony optimization (ACO) and it was believed that ACO will fail to converge to global optima of deceptive problems. Thi...
