  • Abstract
    A parallel simulated annealing algorithm for solving the vehicle routing problem with time windows (VRPTW) is considered. The VRPTW is a complex bicriterion optimization problem in which both the number of vehicles and the total distance traveled by vehicles should be minimized. The aim is to establish how the number of the cooling stages executed by parallel simulated annealing processes influence the quality of solutions to the problem.
