Abstract

This research focuses on the robust vehicle routing problem with time windows (VRPTW) under uncertain travel times. More specifically, we assume all travel times belong to a known budget uncertainty set. To solve large-scale instances, one often resorts to local search algorithms. These algorithms involve checking whether a route is feasible regarding the time window; if it is not, evaluate its infeasibility. Our goal is to study the computation of the infeasibility of the robust VRPTW with budget uncertainty for two classical cases of functions. We prove that the computation of both cases is polynomially solvable by providing dynamic programming algorithms to solve them.
