Abstract

This article reports on the relative performance of several popular heuristic approaches to the vehicle routing and scheduling problem. It is a continuation of a previous study where the problems addressed were small. This research extends the problem size to see if the results would still be valid. Because of disappointing performance in the previous study, two of the algorithms were redesigned to see if their performance would improve.
