Abstract :
This paper presents four different kinds of Evolutionary Algorithms (EA), for the Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows. A comparison among four EAs was made in order to investigate approaches such as genetic memory of populations, which avoids the loss of good genetic threads during search process and the hybridization of the EAs through local search, forming Memetic Algorithms.
