Abstract

Recent technological advances in optimization and transportation have enabled the development of efficient tools that support the decision-making process of logistic managers. The aim of this paper is to present a decision support system (DSS) that integrates an Iterated Local Search (ILS) for solving the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP). Its clear design allows an efficient exploration of the solution by the decision-maker. The computational experiments show that the ILS is very competitive in comparison to state-of-the-art algorithms.
