Solving vehicle routing problem using hybrid swarm intelligent methods

Vehicle Routing Problem arises in real life applications when vehicles are routed to several locations to fulfill customer's requirements within specified constraints. A comprehensive study of recent works on Vehicle Routing Problem; mostly on Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Window is carried out based on their problem characteristics. Exact Methods, Heuristics, Meta Heuristics and Hybrid Methods are found to be the common methods for solving Vehicle Routing Problem. Hybrid Swarm Intelligent Methods are to be experimented to solve Vehicle Routing Problem.
