Abstract

AbstractWe consider the vehicle routing and scheduling problem with time window constraints. Analytical results concerning the behavior of approximation methods for this problem class are derived through worst‐case analysis. For a variety of heuristics, it is shown that their worst‐case behavior on n customer problems is at least order of n for minimizing the number of vehicles used, the total distance traveled, and the total schedule time.
