An Adaptive Variable Neighborhood Search Ant Colony Algorithm for Vehicle Routing Problem With Soft Time Windows

In this paper, an adaptive variable neighborhood search ant colony algorithm (AVNSACA) is proposed to solve the vehicle routing problem with soft time windows (VRPSTW). The ant colony algorithm's pheromone update strategy is improved to make up for the lack of pheromone in the algorithm's...
