摘要
The Generalized Vehicle Routing Problem (GVRP) is the problem of designing optimal delivery or collection routes, subject to capacity restrictions, from a given depot to a number of predefined, mutually exclusive and exhaustive clusters. In this paper we describe an efficient transformation of the GVRP into a Capacitated Are Routing Problem (CARP) for which an exact algorithm and several approximate procedures are reported in literature. It constitutes the only known approach for solving the GVRP. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
