Abstract:
Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Window (VRPTW) has demonstrated an excessive application in postal service network design. In this paper we elaborate on how VRPTW modelling approach can benefit both firm and contractors. The business objective is to facilitate the process of retendering the contracts. Accordingly, the novel modeling approach has been developed in order to improve the practicality of the results. The Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is used for solving the VRPTW for regional post office services.
