An Adaptive Large Neighborhood Search for Multi-trip Multi-traffic Pickup and Delivery problem with Time Windows and Synchronization

Published:07 December 2017Publication History

ABSTRACT

This paper introduces an adaptive large neighborhood search metaheuristic to solve the multi-trip multi-traffic pickup and delivery problem with time windows and synchronization (MTT-PDTWS). With adaptive destroy and repair operators, it learns over time which destroy and repair operators are the most effective and governs the operator selection biased toward highly effective one. The computational experiments display the impacts of these operators on the solution quality and the performance of the ALNS in comparison to the only existing tabu search methodology addressing the MTT-PDTWS.
