Beschreibung:
<jats:p>Research in the field of vehicle routing often focused on finding new ideas
and concepts in the development of fast and efficient algorithms for an
improved solution process. Early studies introduce static tailor-made
strategies, but trends show that algorithms with generic adaptive policies -
which emerged in the past years - are more efficient to solve complex vehicle
routing problems. In this first part of the survey, we present an overview of
recent literature dealing with adaptive or guided search techniques for
problems in vehicle routing.</jats:p>
