The combination of evolutionary algorithms with local search was named" memetic
algorithms"(MAs)(Moscato, 1989). These methods are inspired by models of natural systems …

This paper surveys the research on evolutionary algorithms for the Vehicle Routing Problem
with Time Windows (VRPTW). The VRPTW can be described as the problem of designing …

A parallel version of a new hybrid genetic algorithm for the vehicle routing problem with time
windows is presented. The route-directed hybrid genetic approach is based upon the …

This paper presents a case-based heuristic selection approach for automated university
course and exam timetabling. The method described in this paper is motivated by the goal of …

When considering function optimisation, there is a trade off between quality of solutions and
the number of evaluations it takes to find that solution. Hybrid genetic algorithms have been …

This paper is a survey of the literature on applications of evolutionary algorithms for vehicle
routing problems. It reports on genetic algorithms, evolution strategies, and particle swarm …

A route-directed hybrid genetic approach to address the Vehicle Routing Problem with Time
Windows is presented. The proposed scheme relies on the concept of simultaneous …

This report surveys the research on the genetic and evolutionary algorithms for the Vehicle
Routing Problem with Time Windows (VRPTW). The VRPTW can be described as the …

This article deals with the vehicle routing problem with time windows (VRPTW). This
problem consists in determining a least-cost set of trips to serve customers during specific …

Problem statement: In this study, we considered the application of a genetic algorithm to
vehicle routing problem with time windows where a set of vehicles with limits on capacity …
