Abstract

The decision making process that implies optimizing paths for goods delivery, messaging services, tours, and others, is usually a difficult task. One problem, that has been and continues being, a challenge for scientists in different areas is the trade traveler problem. This paper focuses on evaluation, through the use of metaheuristics algorithms, of a model created based on the analysis of a particular case of this problem. In this special case it was necessary to consider time windows. The goal is to determine which algorithm provides a better solution will provide an aid to decision-makers of companies that require analyzing the variables included in the model.
