摘要

In this paper the MILP model for Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows (VRPTW) is presented in application of building facilities maintenance. Real-life constraints such as time limit constraint and penalties for exceeding location time windows were formulated. Improved Tabu Search algorithm was proposed with an initial solution obtained by Greedy Nearest Neighbour heuristic and compared with Gurobi solver. Computer experiments were performed on Solomon instances with different length of time windows. The results show that Tabu search outperforms other methods in defined time limit and returns the best results for narrow time windows.
