The aim of this article is to develop an exact algorithm for the asymmetrical capacitated vehicle routing problem, i.e., the multiple traveling salesman problem subject to capacity restrictions. The problem is solved by means of a branch and bound tree in which subproblems are modified assignment pr
## Abstract Vehicle routing problems are at the heart of most decision support systems for realβlife distribution problems. In vehicle routing problem a set of routes must be determined at lowest total cost for a number of resources (i.e., fleet of vehicles) located at one or several points (e.g.,
This paper presents a novel hybrid ant colony optimization approach called SS\_ACO algorithm to solve the vehicle routing problem. The main feature of the hybrid algorithm is to hybridize the solution construction mechanism of the ant colony optimization (ACO) with scatter search (SS). In our hybrid
