Abstract

This paper considers the open vehicle routing problem with time windows (OVRPTW). An improved variable neighborhood search (VNS) algorithm is proposed to solve the problem. The improved VNS features a route construction mechanism to ensure the customers with earlier time windows will be served first. The results of computational study indicate that the proposed algorithm can solve OVRPTW effectively.
