Variable neighborhood search algorithm for heterogeneous traveling repairmen problem with time windows

作者:

Highlights:

• We focus on heterogeneous TRPTW, a generalization of the TRP.

• The problem is mathematically formulated as MILP.

• We propose heuristic algorithm based on the VNS metaheuristic framework.

• We propose reduction strategies for VNS to reduce algorithm’s running time.

• Efficiency of proposed algorithm is tested on four sets of benchmark instances.
