Abstract

This work proposes Adaptive General Variable Neighborhood Search metaheuristic algorithms for the efficient solution of Pollution Location Inventory Routing Problems (PLIRPs). A comparative computational study, between the proposed methods and their corresponding classic General Variable Neighborhood Search versions, illustrates the effectiveness of the intelligent mechanism used for automating the re-ordering of the local search operators in the improvement step of each optimization method. Results on 20 PLIRP benchmark instances show the efficiency of the proposed metaheuristics.
