An Enhanced Evolutionary Local Search for the Split Delivery Vehicle Routing Problem [PDF]
We present a simple and effective metaheuristic algorithm for the Split Delivery Vehicle Routing Problem (SDVRP). The SDVRP is a relaxation of the classical Vehicle Routing Problem in which a customer demand may be serviced by more than one vehicle.
