  • Abstract
    This work introduces an implementation of an evolving technique, more precisely genetic algorithms, to deal with a known problem: the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (CVRP), in which vehicles have limited carrying capacity of the goods that must be delivered. It is presented a comparison with a known heuristic: Greedy Randomized Adaptive Search Procedure (GRASP), obtaining results that improve previous results for similar instances.
