Abstract

This paper addresses an extension of the TSP where a vehicle with a limited capacity must transport certain commodities from their origins to their destinations. Each commodity has a weight, and the objective is to find a minimum length Hamiltonian tour satisfying all the transportation requests without ever violating the capacity constraint.We propose for this problem a heuristic approach that combines mathematical programming and metaheuristic techniques. The method is able to improve the best known solutions for a set of instances from the literature in a reasonable amount of computation time.
