In this paper, we discuss a computationally viable algorithm based on a set-partitioning formulation of the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP). Implementation strategies based on theoretical as well as empirical results are developed. Some computational results are presented. It is shown that a set-partitioning formulation to the VRP, although well known for a long time, deserves considerable research efforts beyond those we present here.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
