An extension to the classical vehicle routing problem where vehicles can be assigned more than one route within a working time period is investigated. A multi-phase constructive heuristic, which is enhanced by suitable data structure, is proposed. Results are given comparing to benchmarks from the l
## Abstract Given a fleet of vehicles assigned to a single depot, the vehicle routing problem with time windows (VRPTW) consists of determining a set of feasible vehicle routes to deliver goods to a set of customers while minimizing, first, the number of vehicles used and, second, total distance tr
The vehicle routing problem with back-hauls involves the design of a set of minimum cost routes, originating and terminating at a central depot, for a set of vehicles to service a set of customers with known quantities to be either delivered or collected. This paper describes two route-construction
