Table 3.
Average solution quality, depending on instance size and share of dynamic requests , using deterministic solution methods with average (time-independent) travel speeds. All results are relative to those obtained by the corresponding solution method using time-dependent travel speeds (VNS – AVNS, MPA – AMPA). Negative values indicate superior results obtained by the method with time-dependent travel speeds (i.e., it is always superior). Dissatisfaction refers to the primary objective, calculated as the sum of tardiness, earliness, and ride time violation; #Vehicles is the secondary objective, calculated as the number of vehicles used; and Duration is tertiary objective, equal to the total route duration.
