✦ Synopsis


We propose a tabu search heuristic capable of solving three well-known routing problems: the periodic vehicle routing problem, the periodic traveling salesman problem, and the multi-depot vehicle routing problem. Computational experiments carried out on instances taken from the literature indicate that the proposed method outperforms existing heuristics for all three problems.
