Abstract

A solution technique is developed which addresses large problems with various numbers and sizes of vehicles and customers in the network. This vehicle routing problem is a further extension of the Multiple Travelling Salesman problem. Given an heuristic solution, limits are set for each component, the violation of which implies that the component is an illegal subtour. An optimal solution is derived using exact algorithms.
