Solving Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows by Genetic Algorithm

Abstract

Based on the analysis to the vehicle routing problem with time windows (VRPTW), this paper builds up a mathematical model of VRPTW and proposes a genetic algorithm. By constructing chromosomes reasonably and using a feasible procedure and other genetic operators to make the search for the optimal solution proceed within the feasible space, this genetic algorithm has a good performance proved by the provided experience.
