There are a lot of different problem types in VRP literature with different problem parameters. No VRP method uses past solutions to solve current problems more quickly and to find better solution with less computation. Instead, most of the methods in literature evaluate the changes as a new problem and try to solve the new problem using specialized heuristics. We developed a method which uses past vehicle routes to make new routes quickly for frequently changing conditions, and we achieved good performance improvements over classical methods.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessVehicle routing problemTransfer learningGenetic algorithmsArticle810A67996809Q3WOS:000310118200020N/A
