Abstract

This paper describes a branch-and-cut algorithm for a generalization of the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem where a customer can be visited several times. The algorithm is based on solving a Mixed Integer Programming model for a relaxed problem, and a cutting-plane procedure to eliminate invalid integer solutions. Computational results on benchmark instances show the performance of the algorithm compared with other approaches found in the literature. In particular, the new algorithm is able to solve a testbed SDVRP instance that was unsolved in the literature.
