If you happen to have to solve TSPs or some special type of VRPs – i.e. capacitated or with timewindows and other constraints – you might want to have a look at Google OR-Tools. Of course the library can be of use for a much broader set of problems, i.e. to solve Constriant Programming tasks… Read more Solve TSP Instance using Google OR-Tools
This post shows a simple implementation using R to solve a given TSP (Traveling Salesperson Problem) instance using the Pilot Method. The whole R script can be accessed here on my gist. How does the Pilot Method work? The Pilot Method is a construction heuristic to build (i.e. initial) solutions. The method tries to avoid… Read more Solve TSP using Pilot Method
