Algorithm Analysis

For researchers who are designing algorithms for vehicle routing problems, it is always important to study and understand runtime behaviours of meta-heuristics and memetic algorithms, such as what local searchers or memes they deployed for solving a particular problem instances, how intense and how often they have been used during the solution process. The Vehicle Routing Scheduler Library provides such facilities through various meme-based analytical visualizations such as stacked chart and heat map, as illustrated in Figures.
