  • Abstract
    This study considers the application of a genetic algorithm (GA) to the basic vehicle routing problem (VRP), in which customers of known demand are supplied from a single depot. Vehicles are subject to a weight limit and, in some cases, to a limit on the distance travelled. Only one vehicle is allowed to supply each customer.
