## 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

## Abstract In the wellβknown vehicle routing problem (VRP), a set of identical vehicles located at a central depot is to be optimally routed to supply customers with known demands subject to vehicle capacity constraints. An important variant of the VRP arises when a mixed fleet of vehicles, charac
This paper presents an optimal dynamic programming algorithm, the first such algorithm in the literature to solve the shortest path problem with time windows and additional linear costs on the node service start times. To optimally solve this problem, we propose a new dynamic programming algorithm w
