Abstract

In this paper we propose a Tabu Search algorithm to solve the Vehicle Routing Problem. The Vehicle Routing Problem are usually defined as the problem that concerns in creation of least cost routs to serve a set of clients by a fleet of vehicles. We develop an intensifications strategy to diversify the neighbours generated and to increase the neighbourhood size. We had done experiments using and not using the intensification strategy to compare the performance of the search. The experiments we had done showed that an intensification strategy allows an increase on the solutions quality.
