            Abstract : 
In this study, we consider congested situation and edge choosing problem simultaneously in the VRP transportation planning and this problem is called the Time Dependent Alternative Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows (TDAVRPTW). Given a multi- graph, the problem can be formulated into a mixed integer programming model with continuous dependent travel time functions. Numerical example shows the applicability of the model.
