A tabu search heuristic for the vehicle routing problem

TL;DR: Taburoute as mentioned in this paper is a new tabu search heuristic for the vehicle routing problem with capacity and route length restrictions, which considers a sequence of adjacent solutions obtained by repeatedly removing a vertex from its current route, and reinserting it into another route.
