  • Multi-vehicle routing problem with pickups and deliveries was studied, and soft time window constraint was considered by adding time punishment cost. The mathematical model was built, and its optimized object was the minimum of combination with vehicle rent cost, transportation cost and time punishment cost, and the model was solved by using heuristic saving algorithm. Time punishment cost and transpiration cost were calculated respectively, and the relation between direct and indirect deliveries was compared to obtain best routes. Test result indicates that when the times of pickups and deliveries reach 50, the average loading rate of freight car still achieves above 80%, so the heuristic saving algorithm can reduce the distance without loadage and rent times, and optimize total cost.
