problem in scheduling that has a wide variety of applications in manufacturing, production …

Abstract The Electric Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows (EVRPTW) is an
extension to the well-known Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows (VRPTW) where …

In the last 15 years, heuristics based on large neighborhood search (LNS) and the variant
adaptive large neighborhood search (ALNS) have become some of the most successful …

Research on metaheuristics has focused on (novel) algorithmic development and on
competitive testing, both of which have been frequently argued to yield little generalizable …
