Consider the following vehicle routing problem (VRP). The terminal and customer locations are
shown in the following sketch, and the distances between any two points are given in the table
below:
Distance
(km) T A B C D E
T 01623412531
A -030484042
B --0192243
C ---01848
D ----024
E -----0
Suppose the trucks are large enough such that there are no physical capacity constraints.
However, there is a capacity constraint in terms of time, because you are required to deliver (i.e.,
finish unloading, but not necessarily arrive at terminal) to all customers between 9am and
10:20am. Each truck can travel at a steady speed of 70km/hr, and will spend 10 minutes at each
customer location for unloading.
Using the savings heuristic, solve the above VRP . Show your steps. [10 points]
