摘要: In this paper we present heuristic algorithms for the period vehicle routing problem, problem of designing routes to meet required service levels customers and minimize distribution costs over a given several-day time. These are based on an initial choice customer delivery days which level requirements, followed by interchange procedure in attempt costs. The represent replacing each day (I) median (II) traveling salesman problem. Computational results comparisons algorithms, test problems derived from literature with up 126 customers. largest these is one solved Russell Igo. solution obtained shows improvement 13% previous best solution.
