Existing dynamic and traffic-aware VRP models address these challenges only partially, lacking unified mechanisms for adaptive search, congestion-sensitive cost evaluation, and proactive disruption management. This research introduces a Tabu-guided Adaptive Large Neighborhood Search with Rollout-based Real-Time Dispatch (T-ALNS-RRD), a traffic-aware optimization framework that integrates three previously uncombines components: (a) an ALNS core enhanced with dynamic congestion-penalized cost functions, (b) a multi-layered Tabu memory system with move-based, solution-based, and frequency-based diversification for non-cycling exploration, and (c) a rollout-based dispatch mechanism that conducts bounded-horizon simulations to pre-emptively select disruption responses. Experimental evaluation on a realistic urban delivery scenario involving 47 customers and 4 vehicles demonstrates significant performance advances over static and trafficaware baselines. T-ALNS-RRD achieves a 24.3% reduction in total operational cost, increases on-time delivery rates from 68.1% to 92.8%, and reduces congestion exposure by 54.4%. Under extreme traffic variability, the method limits degradation to 15.1%, compared to 26.2% in static systems. Realtime adaptation enables the successful handling of 27.4 disruptive events per scenario with a 94.2% resolution rate and an average response time of 143.7 ms. Statistical comparison against state-of-theart (SOTA) metaheuristics confirms a performance improvement of 6.6% (p<0.001) under the tested conditions. These findings establish the approach as a validated mid-scale framework for dynamic urban delivery optimization and provide a scalable methodological basis for future large-instance deployments. + +Keywords Vehicle routing problem, Urban logistics, Traffic-aware optimization, Real-time dispatch, Adaptive large neighborhood search, Tabu search, Last-mile delivery + +The rapid expansion of e-commerce and on-demand delivery services has reshaped urban logistics, creating unprecedented complexity in last-mile distribution systems1 . Global metropolitan regions continue to experience rising delivery volumes, with the last-mile delivery market projected to grow at a 9.8% CAGR between 2025 and 2033, approaching \$373.9 billion in value2,3 . This surge places additional strain on urban transportation networks already challenged by congestion, environmental regulations, and rising expectations for rapid and reliable delivery. Conventional vehicle routing optimization approaches, originally intended for static and predictable environments, are ill-suited to the dynamic, data-rich conditions of modern last-mile operations4 . Unlike traditional formulations, current logistics ecosystems demand solutions that integrate real-time mobility constraints with adaptive decision-making mechanisms. + +Urban last-mile delivery is further complicated by highly dynamic and interdependent constraints. Traffic congestion remains one of the most disruptive factors, with peak travel times increasing by 60–80% relative to off-peak conditions in major cities5 . Moreover, the growing prevalence of narrow delivery windows (1–2 h) intensifies routing constraints that historically relied on broader service intervals. Operational disruptions caused by weather variation, traffic incidents, or on-demand delivery requests introduce volatility that requires continuous recompilation of viable routes. The increasing adoption of electric delivery fleets adds another + +School of Economy and Trade Management, Yibin Vocational and Technical College, Yibin 644003, Sichuan, China. email: luliu@rediffmail.com + +dimension of complexity, as routing strategies must consider limited range, recharging intervals, and energyaware planning6 . These realities underscore the inadequacy of static formulations and highlight the demand for routing mechanisms that adaptively respond to evolving urban conditions. + +The Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows (VRPTW) has long served as a foundation for delivery optimization research7,8 . However, classical VRPTW formulations rely on assumptions that diverge significantly from urban logistics realities, including static travel times, fixed demand profiles, and complete prior knowledge of the solution space9 . In practice, traffic states fluctuate within minutes, rendering static travel-time assumptions infeasible10. Traditional VRPTW approaches also lack mechanisms to accommodate recurrent mid-route disruptions such as unplanned closures, dynamic order updates, or customer-driven modifications. Without mechanisms for real-time adaptation or continuous cost recalibration, such frameworks degrade rapidly in operational contexts, producing suboptimal routing plans and reduced service quality. + +Recent extensions of classical VRP have attempted to incorporate greater realism. Time-Dependent VRP incorporates historical variation in travel times, while stochastic VRP introduces probabilistic treatment of uncertainty in route conditions and customer demand11. Dynamic VRP further extends the formulation by allowing new service requests during route execution, requiring incremental recalculations12. However, most existing approaches address isolated aspects of operational variability rather than integrating real-time responsiveness, traffic-aware evaluation, and adaptive disruption management into a unified routing strategy13 Particularly lacking are models that simultaneously embed congestion-aware cost functions, memory-guided search diversification, and real-time decision support. + +Metaheuristics such as Adaptive Large Neighborhood Search (ALNS) have demonstrated strong performance for large-scale and combinatorial VRP instances14. However, classical ALNS relies on heuristic adjustment and historical operator performance without accounting for evolving traffic conditions or real-time disruptions. Its lack of embedded memory-based diversification restricts solution evolution in non-stationary environments. Tabu Search proposals a complementary mechanism to prevent cycling and enhance search diversification, yet its integration with ALNS in traffic-aware routing contexts remains underexplored15,16. Existing studies typically apply single-layer tabu memory in static settings without multi-level control or congestion sensitivity. + +A major limitation of current dynamic VRP implementations is their reliance on reactive rerouting, either via minor local adjustments or full reinitialization of routes upon disruption17. These strategies neglect the future impact of immediate actions and fail to compare potential outcomes before execution. Rollout-based decisionmaking frameworks, successfully used in operations research and game theory, proposal the ability to simulate bounded-horizon future states and evaluate candidate options proactively. However, rollout-based adaptation has not been systematically integrated within heuristic search methods for urban delivery or aligned with trafficsensitive route costs. + +While hybrid metaheuristics combining Tabu Search and ALNS have appeared in the literature, these models typically employ only move-prevention memory and lack integration with congestion-aware travel costs or proactive preoptimization mechanisms. Similarly, Traffic-Aware Routing Models (TARM) capture dynamic travel times but rely on diversification strategies that are insufficient for highly volatile urban mobility scenarios. The current literature does not present a unified framework that links multi-layered memory structures, congestion-dependent cost functions, and rollout-based dispatch. To the best of current knowledge, no prior work has systematically integrated these capabilities for Urban Delivery Optimization (UDO). + +Although large-scale logistics networks may involve several hundred or thousands of customers, algorithmic validation studies in traffic-aware and dynamic VRP commonly begin with controlled mid-sized instances to isolate the effects of individual components. In this work, the use of smaller customer scenarios enables focused evaluation of how congestion-sensitive cost adaptation, layered Tabu diversification, and rollout-based dispatch interact without confounding scalability factors. This mid-scale validation approach is consistent with standard practice in metaheuristic research and establishes a foundation for subsequent large-instance extensions. + +This study introduces an Integrated Algorithmic Model (IAM) for Urban Delivery Optimization (UDO) that combines traffic-aware routing, multi-layered Tabu memory, and real-time adaptive rollout-based dispatch within a single framework. The proposed method, termed Tabu-guided Adaptive Large Neighborhood Search with Rollout-based Real-Time Dispatch (T-ALNS-RRD), is designed to address the operational volatility and uncertainty of last-mile logistics. The model comprises three interdependent components: (a) an enhanced ALNS mechanism incorporating dynamic travel costs and congestion-based penalties derived from real-time traffic data; (b) a layered Tabu memory architecture with move-based, solution-based, and frequency-based diversification to steer search trajectories and prevent cycling; and (c) a rollout-based dispatch module enabling limited-horizon simulation of candidate responses for disruption handling and action prioritization. + +The key contributions of this work are as follows: + +(a) Integration of a multi-layered Tabu memory model expressly calibrated for congestion-sensitive cost landscapes, combining move-based, solution-based, and frequency-based diversification; +(b) Incorporation of rollout-based real-time dispatch that applies Tabu-guided candidate selection for bounded-horizon evaluation of disruption scenarios; +(c) Unified embedding of these components within a traffic-aware ALNS framework, enabling simultaneous responsiveness, diversification, and predictive robustness in UDO; +(d) Comprehensive empirical validation demonstrating improved performance across service reliability, routing efficiency, and computational competitiveness compared to established baselines and SOTA methods. + +The remainder of the paper is structured as follows. Section 2 reviews related work on vehicle routing optimization, traffic-aware heuristics, and adaptive decision-making strategies. Section 3 presents the problem formulation, traffic integration mechanism, and the components of the proposed algorithm, including enhancements to ALNS, tabu memory structures, and the rollout-based dispatch methodology. Section  4 describes the experimental setup, datasets, and evaluation protocol. Section 5 reports the results, including baseline comparisons, ablation analysis, robustness testing, and benchmarking against state-of-the-art approaches. Section  6 discusses the implications of the findings and methodological behavior. Section 7 concludes with a summary of contributions and directions for further research in dynamic UDO. + +# Literature review + +Recent research in the Dynamic Vehicle Routing Problem (DVRP) has advanced along five main directions: TARM, real-time adaptation mechanisms, metaheuristic enhancements, multi-objective optimization, and scalability under uncertainty. + +TARM has incorporated predictive travel times into routing decisions. Imran and Won18 introduced the VRPD-DT, a hybrid truck–drone delivery system that integrates Machine Learning (ML)-based travel time predictions with a variable neighborhood descent heuristic, outperforming the static VRP-D. + +Adamo et al.19 provided a detailed survey of time-dependent VRP (TDVRP), emphasizing predictive functions derived from real-time data and adaptive neighborhood adjustments. In related work, Mardešić et al.20 examined stochastic DVRP under uncertain traffic, advocating congestion penalties and risk-aware heuristics to preserve feasibility in dynamic networks. + +Real-time adaptation has been emphasized in recent studies. Cai et al.21 reviewed dynamic pickup–delivery problems, highlighting the effectiveness of re-insertion heuristics and rollout simulations for rapid dispatch, particularly when strict time limits prevent full re-optimization. Nasution22 developed an adaptive ant colony optimization method with reactive memory and incremental repair, signifying scalability for dense urban conditions with frequent demand fluctuations. + +Metaheuristic methods remain dominant in DVRP. Ríos et al.23 classified DVRP variants, reporting that most solutions employ hybrid metaheuristics. Chen et al.24 introduced the Multi-objective Capacity-Adjustment ACO (MCAACO), which extends traditional ACO by incorporating capacity-aware repair, Pareto-front pruning, and dynamic pheromone control. Destroy-and-repair models, such as ALNS, continue to be commonly applied. Adamo et al.25 find adaptive operator selection and memory-based diversification as necessary for improving robustness under dynamic costs. + +Multi-objective optimization approaches address the competing requirements of last-mile delivery. Agarwal et al.26 introduced a bi-criterion Steiner-TSPTW for EV logistics, balancing energy efficiency with urban safety by restricting high-risk maneuvers such as left turns. Moradi et al.27 investigated a two-echelon EVRP that combines traffic awareness, energy constraints, and secondary delivery scheduling. These studies highlight the complexity of integrating multiple performance metrics into urban logistics optimization. + +Scalability and sustainability trends reflect the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-supported decisionmaking and smart city deployment. Judijanto and Rismanto28 analyzed Intelligent Logistics Systems (ILS) combining real-time data, energy-aware routing, and ML for adaptive urban deliveries. Gönen29 conducted a bibliometric review of post-2020 last-mile delivery research, noting increasing emphasis on AI-based traffic modelling, heuristic re-optimization, and dynamic DMS30–32. + +Recent work at the intersection of AI and vehicle routing has shown a decisive shift toward hybrid learned– heuristic pipelines. Comprehensive surveys by Wu et al.33 and Zhou et al.34 map the landscape of neural combinatorial optimization for VRP—pointer/attention models, GNN decoders, and RL policies—as well as “learning for routing” components such as surrogate travel-time/cost predictors, learned destroy–repair operators, and data-driven acceptance schemes. Complementary evidence indicates that hybrids outperform pure learning or pure search on large and noisy instances: El Jaouhari et al.35 review metaheuristics and RL and find consistent gains from coupling them; Sobhanan et al.36 embed a neural cost predictor within a genetic algorithm for hierarchical VRP; Barros-Everett et al.37 show that predicting metaheuristic parameters from instance features improves convergence and stability; and Gückel and Fontaine38 introduce fast ML-based Shapley approximations that enable interpretable, instance-aware tuning. The emerging consensus is to retain a combinatorial search backbone (e.g., ALNS/HGS) while using ML to guide evaluation, operator selection, and hyper parameterization. + +Parallel advances focus on real-time traffic, last-mile operations, and deployment constraints. Practiceoriented studies highlight measurable gains from AI-driven dynamic routing for sustainable delivery (Hejazi & Soliman, 2025, SSRN39), outline how ERP platforms integrate AI routing with order/location/ETA data and strict decision latencies (Mhaskey), and survey AI-plus-sensor fusion in autonomous delivery vehicles for urban logistics40. Across these sources, operational requirements recur: streaming inputs, bounded inference, robustness to uncertainty, and explainability for control. These needs motivate architectures that combine fast predictive surrogates with responsive, bounded-horizon control rather than full preoptimization at every event—precisely the niche addressed by rollout-style dispatch layered over a metaheuristic core. + +A complementary thread augments routing with reliability and multi-objective reasoning. Almutairi & Owais41 fuse fixed/mobile traffic-sensor signals into a reliable VRP, display reduced late deliveries when reliability is modelled explicitly; Owais & Alshehri42 generate Pareto-optimal paths in stochastic networks, maintaining trade-off frontiers (e.g., time vs. reliability) rather than collapsing objectives. Together, these works suggest clear integration points for traffic-aware metaheuristics, including sensor-informed reliability penalties alongside time-dependent travel and congestion costs, as well as Pareto-guided scoring for global search and real-time dispatch. Within this context, a model such as T-ALNS-RRD—memory-guided diversification for exploration, plus bounded-horizon rollout for immediate adaptation—aligns with current best practices while remaining compatible with learned ETA surrogates, learned operator policies, and instance-aware parameter tuning from the recent AI-for-routing literature. + +Table 1 synthesizes these contributions and gaps, showing that while existing studies successfully embed traffic-awareness, robustness, and multi-objective trade-offs into DVRP solvers, few methods fully integrate adaptive memory mechanisms (e.g., Tabu structures) with short-horizon rollout simulations for real-time DMSg under uncertainty. This gap motivates the development of the Tabu-guided Adaptive Large Neighborhood Search with Rollout-based Real-Time Dispatch (T-ALNS-RRD), which is introduced in the following Sect43. + +# Methodology + +# Problem formulation + +Urban last-mile delivery is modeled as a Dynamic Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows and Traffic Awareness (DVRPTW-TA) on a directed graph $G = ( N , A )$ . The node set $N = \{ 0 , 1 , 2 , \ldots , n \}$ contains a single depot (node 0) and customer nodes; arcs $A \subseteq \dot { N } \times \dot { N }$ represent feasible directed connections.

Summary of works in DVRP and identified Gaps. + +The DVRPTW-TA generalizes the classical VRPTW (NP-hard) by introducing time-dependent travel $t _ { i j } \left( T _ { i } \right)$ 号 and congestion penalties $\rho _ { \mathit { i j } } \left( T _ { i } \right)$ , increasing computational complexity with the temporal discretization granularity. + +Figure 1 schematically depicts the delivery network and routing model for the DVRPTW-TA. The network is modeled as a directed graph $G = ( N , A )$ , with depot node 0 and customer nodes 1–5, each annotated with demand $d _ { i }$ and service window $[ e _ { i } , l _ { i } ] .$ . Two vehicles depart from the depot, with green arcs denoting active routing decisions $( x _ { i j k } = 1 )$ and grey arcs representing feasible alternatives.

The approach systematically integrates three components: (a) traffic-aware ALNS for global optimization, (b) multi-layered Tabu memory incorporating move-based, solution-based, and frequency-based diversification mechanisms, and (c) rollout-based real-time dispatch using Tabu-guided action selection for immediate disruption response47. + +The model employs a layered architecture where ALNS constructs routing plans through destroy-repair cycles, enhanced Tabu memory prevents cycling while promoting traffic-aware diversification, and the rollout module performs bounded-horizon simulations for real-time adaptation48. This integration enables responsive rerouting that considers future outcomes while maintaining optimization quality. The novelty of this model lies not in the isolated use of Tabu or rollout, but in their systematic integration: Tabu memory structures inform the diversification of the ALNS search and filtering of real-time rollout decisions, creating a unified mechanism that bridges long-horizon optimization and short-horizon disruption management49. This interaction enables robust traffic-aware routing decisions under uncertainty; a capability not previously explored in the prior VRP literature5 0 + +Adaptive large neighborhood search (ALNS) for optimizing urban last Mile delivery efficiency + +The ALNS metaheuristic serves as the optimization core for dynamic routing, generating efficient delivery plans under capacity, service time, and traffic constraints. It extends Large Neighborhood Search (LNS) by employing multiple destroy–repair operators with adaptively updated selection probabilities, ensuring robustness against evolving urban traffic conditions where static operator strategies are insufficient51. + +Each feasible routing solution $S \in S$ is represented as an ordered set of vehicle routes $\{ R _ { 1 } , R _ { 2 } , \ldots , R _ { m } \}$ where each route $R _ { k }$ corresponds to a sequence of customers allocated to vehicle $k \in \ K$ . + +A specified route is defined as, Eq. (12) + +$$ +R _ {k} = \left\langle 0, c _ {k 1}, c _ {k 2}, \dots , c _ {k \mid R _ {k} \mid}, 0 \right\rangle \tag {12} +$$ + +where $c _ { k i }$ represents the i-th customer served by vehicle k, and $\lvert R _ { k } \rvert$ denotes the number of customers in route $R _ { k }$ . + +The total demand for the route $R _ { k }$ must satisfy the vehicle capacity constraint, Eq. (13) + +$$ +\sum_ {i = 1} ^ {| R _ {k} |} d _ {c _ {k i}} \leq Q \tag {13} +$$ + +where $d _ { c _ { k i } }$ is the demand of the customer $c _ { k i }$ (the i-th customer in vehicle $k ^ { \ : \mathfrak { s } }$ route sequence). + +Each customer node $c _ { k i }$ must be served within its designated time window $[ e _ { c _ { k i } } , { \bar { l _ { c _ { k i } } } } ]$ ] while respecting time-dependent travel cost $t _ { i j } \left( D _ { i } \right)$ . An initial solution $S _ { 0 }$ is built via a greedy insertion heuristic that places customers at the earliest feasible, cost-minimizing position. Solution quality is measured by the composite objective $f \left( S \right)$ from Eq. (1). + +Figure 2 illustrates the greedy nearest-neighbor construction of an initial solution for the DVRP52. A depot and five customer nodes with demands and time windows form the baseline network. Customers are sequentially assigned based on proximity and the earliest time window, resulting in routes for Vehicle 1: $0 1 3 0$ and Vehicle 2: $0 \ 2 \ 4 \ 5 \ 0$ . This feasible but traffic-unaware solution serves as the starting point for later ALNS refinements53. + +At each iteration t, ALNS applies a destroy-repair cycle to the current solution $S _ { t } , \mathrm { ~ A ~ }$ destroy operator $D : \mathcal { S } \mathcal { S } \times 2 ^ { N \setminus \{ 0 \} }$ removes a subset of customers, and a repair operator $R : \mathcal { S } \times 2 ^ { N \setminus \{ 0 \} } \to \dot { \mathcal { S } }$ reinserts them to generate a new candidate solution $S ^ { \prime }$ , Eq. (14). + +![](images/db694e2ac8c4527035f09d06af1ddf1ef5b61d026e5c51b97f72984165070e8f.jpg) + +

Its architecture integrates three complementary memories: a move-based Tabu list, a solution-based Tabu memory, and an attribute-based frequency memory, each promoting diversification and preventing stagnation61. + +The move-based Tabu list Tmove records recent destroy-repair operations as tuples $( C _ { \mathrm { r e m o v e d } } , h _ { d } , h _ { r } , t _ { \mathrm { i t e r } } ) ,$ where $C _ { \mathrm { r e m o v e d } } \subset N \backslash$ 0 is the removed customer set, $\hat { h } _ { d } \in \mathbf { \Gamma } \hat { D }$ and $h _ { r } \in { \bf \dot { \theta } } R$ are the destroy and repair operators, and $t _ { \mathrm { i t e r } }$ is the execution iteration. A move is considered Tabu if there exists an entry $\left( \acute { C } , \acute { h } _ { d } , \acute { h } _ { r } , \acute { t } \right)$ in $\tau _ { \mathrm { m o v e } }$ such that, Eq. (22) + +$$ +\left| C _ {\text { removed }} \cap \dot {C} \right| \geq \mu \cdot \min \left(\left| C _ {\text { removed }} \right|, \left| \dot {C} \right|\right) \text { and } t _ {\text { current }} - \dot {t} \leq \tau_ {\text { move }} \tag {23} +$$ + +where $\mu \in \ [ 0 , 1 ]$ is the overlap threshold parameter and $\tau _ { \mathrm { ~ m o v e ~ } }$ is the Tabu tenure for move-based restrictions. + +The solution-based Tabu memory $T _ { \mathrm { s o l } }$ avoids revisiting prior solutions by storing hash-based encodings of routing structures. Each solution S is represented through a locality-sensitive hash function, Eq. (23) + +$$ +H (S) = \sum_ {k \in K} \sum_ {i = 1} ^ {p _ {k} - 1} \varphi \left(v _ {k i}, v _ {k (i + 1)}\right) \bmod P \tag {24} +$$ + +where $\varphi \left( u , v \right)$ is a polynomial hash applied to consecutive customer pairs, and $P$ is a large prime modulus. + +A candidate solution $S ^ { \prime }$ is Tabu if $\mathbf { \dot { \zeta } } H \left( S ^ { \prime } \right) \in \mathcal { T } _ { \mathrm { s o l } }$ and was recorded within the last $\tau _ { \mathrm { \ s o l } }$ iterations. Hash collisions are minimized by carefully choosing polynomial coefficients and modulus $P ,$ ensuring distinct routing structures map to unique values with high probability. The memory operates as a circular buffer of size $\vert T _ { s o l } \vert = \mathrm { m i n } \left( 1 0 0 0 , \dot { 2 } ^ { \lceil \log _ { 2 } ( n ) \rceil } \right)$ , balancing storage efficiency with collision avoidance62. + +The attribute-based frequency memory F diversifies search by tracking customer-vehicle assignments and temporal positions. + +For assignments, the frequency matrix is updated according to Eq. (24). + +$$ +F _ {i k} ^ {c v} (t + 1) = F _ {i k} ^ {c v} (t) + 1 _ {\left[ i \in R _ {k} \left(S _ {t + 1}\right) \right]} \tag {25} +$$ + +where 1[.]indicates if customer i is attended by vehicle k in the solution $S _ { t + 1 }$ .

Using short-horizon rollout simulations, it delivers rapid decisions for traffic delays, urgent orders, or constraint violations while broader optimization proceeds in the background65. + +The model employs continuous monitoring to detect and classify events into four categories: + +E1 : Critical traffic incidents - road closures, accidents, or severe congestion invalidating planned routes. + +E2 : Urgent delivery insertions - new high-priority orders with tight time windows. + +$E _ { 3 }$ : Vehicle capacity violations - demand fluctuations exceeding vehicle capacity mid-route. + +$E _ { 4 }$ Service time violations - cumulative delays that risk time window breaches. + +This integration ensures responsiveness to operational shocks while preserving the optimization depth of TALNS. Each event $e \in \{ E 1 , \bar { E } 2 , E 3 , E 4 \}$ triggers a real-time dispatch technique that operates independently of the main T-ALNS optimization loop. The event detection mechanism employs a scoring function $\Psi \left( e , t \right)$ that quantifies the urgency level: + +$$ +\Psi (e, t) = \alpha_ {e} \cdot \frac {t _ {\text {deadline}} - t _ {\text {current}}}{t _ {\text {horizon}}} + \beta_ {e} \cdot \text {impact} (e) + \gamma_ {e} \cdot \text {cost\_increase} (e) \tag {35} +$$ + +where $\alpha _ { \textit { e } } , \beta _ { \textit { e } } , \gamma _ { \textit { e } }$ are event-specific weighting parameters, $t _ { \mathrm { d e a d l i n e } }$ represents the constraint deadline, $t _ { \mathrm { h o r i z o n } }$ is the planning horizon, impact ( e) quantifies the spatial scope of the event, and cost\_increase ( e) approximates the potential objective function deterioration. + +Figure 5 illustrates the T-ALNS-RRD event detection and classification process, applied to the optimized solution from Fig. 4. A traffic blockage on arc $^ { ( 3 , 4 ) }$ ) disrupts Vehicle 2’s route $0 2 3 4 0 ,$ , jeopardizing Customer 4’s delivery with only 45 min left in its window [11:00, 13:00]. The urgency score, Ψ $( e , t ) = 0$ .85 from Eq. (34), categorizes the disruption as a Type $E _ { 1 }$ critical traffic incident requiring immediate action. The event analysis evaluates operational impact and confirms available alternatives, such as vehicle capacity sufficiency and route flexibility for reassignment. This real-time model ensures a smooth transition from T-ALNS optimization to rollout-based dispatch, maintaining uninterrupted performance under dynamic traffic disruptions. + +The T-ALNS-RRD introduces a rollout-based decision layer that conducts short-horizon simulations to measure dispatch alternatives without invoking full re-optimization. For each event $e ,$ a candidate action set $A _ { e } = \left\{ a _ { 1 } , \overline { { { a } } } _ { 2 } , \ldots , a _ { \left| A _ { e } \right| } \right\}$ is generated and evaluated via Monte Carlo rollouts. Each simulation projects the system state over a horizon $H _ { \mathrm { r o l l o u t } }$ of 30–120 min, depending on the urgency of the event and system load. Rollout evaluations use simplified heuristics that approximate T-ALNS behavior, ensuring timely yet reliable dispatch decisions under real-time constraints. + +The rollout value function $V ^ { \mathrm { r o l l o u t } } \left( s , a , H \right)$ for state s, action $^ { a , }$ and horizon H is computed as: + +$$ +V ^ {\text { rollout }} (s, a, H) = \mathbb {E} \left[ \sum_ {h = 0} ^ {H - 1} \left(\sum_ {k \in K} \sum_ {(i, j) \in A _ {k} ^ {h}} \left[ t _ {i j} \left(T _ {i} ^ {k, h}\right) + \lambda_ {2} \rho_ {i j} \left(T _ {i} ^ {k, h}\right) \right] + \lambda_ {1} \sum_ {j \in C ^ {h}} \delta_ {j} \left(S _ {j} ^ {h}\right)\right) \right], \tag {36} +$$ + +where $\mathrm { A _ { k } ^ { h } }$ is the set of traversed arcs by vehicle k during step h, and $\mathrm { C ^ { h } }$ is the set of customers whose service starts during step h. This ensures each customer’s lateness is reported for once, at the moment service begins. + +The dispatch action space in T-ALNS-RRD adapts to event type and system state. For critical traffic incidents $( E _ { 1 } )$ , candidate actions include alternative-path rerouting, cross-vehicle reassignment, and postponement of non-critical deliveries. For urgent delivery insertions $( E _ { 2 } )$ , actions include immediate feasible insertion, delayed insertion with notification, or subcontractor delegation if capacity is exceeded. + +Each action $a \in \ A _ { e }$ is validated against feasibility constraints, Eq. (36) + +$$ +\text { Feasible } (a, s) = \bigwedge_ {k \in K} \left[ \sum_ {i \in R _ {k} ^ {a}} d _ {i} \leq Q \right] \wedge \bigwedge_ {i \in N ^ {a}} \left[ e _ {i} \leq T _ {i} ^ {a} \leq l _ {i} + \epsilon_ {\text { tolerance }} \right] \tag {37} +$$ + +where $R _ { k } ^ { a }$ is the customer set assigned to vehicle $k , N ^ { a }$ the set of served customers, $T _ { i } ^ { a }$ the estimated service time, and $\epsilon _ { \mathrm { t o l e r a n c e } } \mathrm { a }$ relaxation margin for emergencies. + +For each detected event e, the candidate action set $A _ { \epsilon }$ is generated by deterministic rules with explicit size caps, ensuring real-time execution while satisfying the feasibility screen in Eq. (36). + +![](images/65ab94c69f86657d6205ff3576078248c498b47123794a16c107e1f42e58e160.jpg) + +

This network topology encompasses a complex multilayered road structure including arterial roads, collector streets, and residential routes. Customer demand points and delivery scenarios were synthetically generated to create algorithmic challenges, including varying traffic conditions, diverse time windows, and route optimization complexities. The experimental setup serves as a proof-of-concept validation environment rather than a representation of operational deployment conditions. + +Although real-world last-mile delivery operations may involve several hundred or thousands of customer nodes, controlled mid-scale instances are widely used in dynamic and traffic-aware VRP research to evaluate algorithmic mechanisms before scaling to large deployments.

The network includes 15 major arterial corridors with coordinated signal progression and 89 minor intersections with fixed-time control. Average segment lengths range from 180 m (residential) to 450 m(arterial), with speed limits varying from 30 km/h (residential) to 60 km/h (arterial roads). + +The resulting experimental dataset comprised: + +• A network $G = ( N , A )$ with $| N | = 4 8$ nodes (47 customers + 1 depot) and $| A | = 2 , 2 5 6$ feasible directed arcs, +• Time-indexed travel time matrices $T ^ { ( h ) }$ and congestion penalty matrices $\Gamma ^ { ( h ) }$ across $H = 1 2$ time intervals, +• Customer delivery requests $\{ d _ { i } , s _ { i } , [ e _ { i } , l _ { i } ] \}$ for $i \in \{ 1 , 2 , \ldots , 4 7 \}$ , +• Vehicle fleet $K = \{ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 \}$ { } ∈ { with uniform capacity constraints, +• Complete traffic parameter set totaling approximately 81,200 arc-time cost entries across all $( i , j , h )$ combinations. + +The complete experimental dataset represents a comprehensive traffic-aware urban delivery environment with substantial computational complexity. The final dataset comprises 48 nodes connected by 2,256 directed arcs, each evaluated across 12 temporal intervals, resulting in 27,072 unique arc-time combinations. With three traffic parameters $\left( \hat { t } _ { i j } ^ { ( h ) } , \gamma \mathbf { \Sigma } _ { i j } ^ { ( h ) } \right.$ , and $\eta _ { i j } ^ { \left( h \right) } \bigg )$ associated with each arc-time pair, the traffic flow component contains approximately 81,200 individual cost entries. Combined with 47 customer delivery records (each containing spatial coordinates, demand values, service durations, and time window constraints), 4 vehicle configuration profiles, and 1 depot specification, the total dataset encompasses over 82,000 distinct data points. This volume provides sufficient complexity to rigorously evaluate the T-ALNS-RRD’s performance under realistic urban delivery conditions while remaining computationally tractable for extensive algorithmic testing and statistical validation across multiple experimental scenarios. A comprehensive summary of the dataset composition, including node distribution, arc-time matrix dimensions, traffic-aware cost parameters, and delivery constraints, is provided in Table 2. + +![](images/d7ad02c81edc691149f8ecd363829586edde3663a46ce166995ee73d2b217001.jpg) +Fig. 7.

The 47-customer configuration represents a small-scale test environment that enables comprehensive component analysis with sufficient replication (30 runs) for statistical comparison, while remaining computationally feasible for evaluating a multi-component model.

+ +Table 2. Dataset statistics. + +# Evaluation metrics + +The performance of the proposed T-ALNS-RRD was measured using a comprehensive set of quantitative metrics that collectively capture routing efficiency, service quality, responsiveness to real-time events, and computational feasibility. + +These metrics are defined below: + +Total Cost (Objective Value) The primary optimization metric is the composite objective function value defined in Eq. (44), which integrates time-dependent travel time, lateness penalties, and congestion exposure across all vehicle routes. This scalar cost reflects the overall routing efficiency under spatiotemporal traffic constraints and serves as the primary benchmark for evaluating solution quality. + +On-Time Delivery Ratio (OTDR) This metric measures the proportion of customer deliveries completed within the designated service time windows. Let $N _ { \mathrm { o n t i m e } }$ denote the number of customers served with $\begin{array} { r } { T _ { j } \leq l _ { j } ; } \end{array}$ then: + +$$ +\mathrm{OTDR} = \frac {N _ {\text { ontime }}}{| N \setminus \{0 \} |} \tag {45} +$$ + +A higher OTDR indicates improved adherence to customer time window constraints and better temporal reliability of the solution. + +fi nal return. For each vehicle Average Route Duration This metric measures the average elapsed time per route, from depot departure to $k \in \ K$ , let $T _ { k } ^ { \mathrm { e n d } } \ : - \ : T _ { k } ^ { \mathrm { s t a r t } }$ denote the total route duration. Then, Eq. (45) + +$$ +\text { AvgRouteDuration } = \frac {1}{| K |} \sum_ {k \in K} \left(T _ {k} ^ {\text { end }} - T _ {k} ^ {\text { start }}\right) \tag {46} +$$ + +This indicator reflects the time efficiency of vehicle utilization under dynamic traffic and routing conditions. + +Congestion Exposure Score (CES) To capture the traffic-aware sensitivity of the routing strategy, the CES aggregates the total congestion penalty weights $\rho _ { \mathit { i j } } \left( T _ { i } \right)$ incurred over all arcs traversed by the fleet, Eq. (46) + +$$ +\mathrm{CES} = \sum_ {k \in K} \sum_ {(i, j) \in A _ {k}} \rho_ {i j} \left(T _ {i} ^ {k}\right) \tag {47} +$$ + +Lower CES values indicate better avoidance of congested segments and more adaptive traffic-aware routing. + +Number of Real-Time Re-Routing Events (NRRE) This metric counts the total number of disruption-triggered re-optimization events initiated by the Rollout-based Real-Time Dispatch (RRD) module during simulation. It provides insight into the system’s dynamic responsiveness and decision-making frequency in volatile delivery environments. + +Computational Time per Iteration To evaluate scalability and deployment feasibility, the average wall-clock time per optimization iteration and per rollout simulation cycle is recorded. These metrics are critical for assessing the model’s suitability for real-time or near-real-time logistics operations. + +# Baseline models + +To evaluate the performance of the proposed T-ALNS-RRD, several baseline models were developed. These baselines were selected to represent classical static heuristics, traffic-aware routing without adaptation, and progressively enhanced metaheuristics that isolate specific components of the proposed framework. This design enables controlled comparison of the effects of congestion-sensitive cost modeling, memory-guided diversification, and real-time decision logic, rather than aiming to exhaustively benchmark against all recent metaheuristic variants. All models were tested on the same dataset and under the same experimental setup, as described in Sect. 4.1 to 4.3, to ensure methodological consistency. + +# Baseline 1: static vehicle routing problem with time windows (Static-VRPTW) + +This model solves a classical VRPTW without incorporating time-dependent travel times or congestion penalties. It employs a static greedy insertion heuristic to construct vehicle routes, assuming all travel costs are symmetric and fixed throughout the planning horizon. This baseline represents a commonly used offline dispatch method, lacking adaptability to real-world traffic fluctuations. + +# Baseline 2: Traffic-Aware VRPTW without metaheuristics (TA-VRPTW-Greedy) + +This configuration integrates time-dependent travel times tij (T ) and congestion penalties $\rho _ { \ i j } \left( T \right)$ , but utilizes a non-iterative greedy insertion strategy. Customers are inserted into vehicle routes at the earliest feasible position that minimizes marginal cost. While more realistic than Static-VRPTW, this model lacks the global search capacity and route diversification mechanisms provided by metaheuristics. + +# Baseline 3: ALNS without Tabu or rollout (ALNS-Base) + +This model implements the Adaptive Large Neighborhood Search as described in Sect. 3.3.1, but excludes the Tabu memory structures and real-time dispatch component. It captures the performance of a purely adaptive destroy-repair metaheuristic under traffic-aware cost functions, without diversification safeguards or real-time reactivity. + +# Baseline 4: Tabu-Enhanced ALNS (T-ALNS) + +This configuration includes the Tabu memory components described in Sect. 3.3.2, enabling structured avoidance of cycling and enhanced exploration of the solution space. However, it does not incorporate the rollout-based real-time dispatch module. This baseline isolates the contribution of memory-guided search enhancements. + +# Baseline 5: Oracle-Informed routing (Oracle-Traffic-Perfect) + +To estimate the upper-bound performance, an oracle model is constructed with perfect foresight of future traffic conditions. This non-causal benchmark assumes full knowledge of all arc travel times and congestion levels throughout the entire planning horizon. It is used strictly for reference to assess how closely the T-ALNS-RRD approximates optimal performance under uncertainty. + +Rather than integrating rollout-based dispatch (RRD) into each baseline—which would create hybridized variants that deviate from their accepted formulations—each model is retained in its canonical form to support fair, component-level comparison. The purpose of the benchmarking is to evaluate the contribution of each mechanism within T-ALNS-RRD, not to retrofit external methods with equivalent modules. + +# Results + +# Parameter sensitivity analysis + +The comprehensive sensitivity analysis (Table 3) validates the robustness of T-ALNS-RRD performance across key operational parameters, signifying consistent algorithmic advantages that are not artifacts of specific experimental configurations. Across all tested variations—fleet sizes (2–6 vehicles), customer densities (30–60 nodes), and capacity constraints (80–160  kg)—the algorithm maintains better performance, with improvement gaps consistently between 22% and 25% over baseline methods. This narrow variance (coefficient of variation = 4.7%) confirms that the performance advantages are vital features of the algorithmic method rather than parameter-dependent anomalies. Customer density scaling reveals a linear cost progression with maintained efficiency ratios, indicating predictable scaling behavior. In contrast, fleet size variations show optimal performance around 4–5 vehicles, with diminishing returns beyond 5 vehicles due to coordination overhead. + +The analysis reveals minimal sensitivity to capacity constraints above 120 kg, with only 2.3% performance variation across the 80–160 kg range, suggesting robust adaptability to different operational requirements. Statistical robustness is maintained across all parameter ranges, with consistently low standard deviations (14– 29 points) and preserved statistical significance of improvements (p < 0.01) in all configurations. These findings directly address scalability concerns raised about the baseline experimental setup, while demonstrating that the model’s advantages persist across realistic operational parameter ranges. This supports the validity and generalizability of conclusions drawn from the 47-customer, 4-vehicle baseline configuration used throughout this study. + +

+ +Table 4. Algorithmic hyperparameter sensitivity analysis. + +The comprehensive sensitivity analysis validates the robustness of T-ALNS-RRD performance across operational parameters (Table  3) and key algorithmic hyperparameters (Table  4), demonstrating that the reported improvements are not artifacts of specific experimental configurations. The operational parameter analysis across fleet sizes (2–6 vehicles), customer densities (30–60 nodes), and capacity constraints (80–160 kg) reveals consistent algorithmic advantages, with improvement gaps of 22–25% over baseline methods. This narrow variance (coefficient of variation = 4.7%) confirms fundamental algorithmic advantage rather than parameter-dependent anomalies. + +The hyperparameter analysis reveals robust performance across reasonable parameter ranges, with maximum performance variation of ± 4.8% for rollout horizon length and minimal sensitivity to initial operator weights (± 2.3%). The adaptive learning mechanism inherent in the model reduces dependency on precise initial parameter settings, as operator weights self-adjust based on performance feedback, as shown in Eqs. (17) and (18). + +Critical parameters show expected behavior patterns: shorter Tabu tenures increase local search intensity but risk cycling, while longer horizons improve rollout accuracy at computational cost. The model maintains statistical significance (p < 0.01) across all tested parameter combinations, confirming that the 24.3% improvement over baselines represents a robust algorithmic advantage rather than the result of optimal tuning objects. + +# Objective cost performance + +The results presented in Table  5; Fig.  8 demonstrate the progressive enhancement in routing performance achieved through each algorithmic component of the proposed model. The T-ALNS-RRD achieves a total cost of 2,156.8 ± 16.7, representing a substantial 24.3% improvement over the static baseline and establishing it as the best-performing practical algorithm to date. This improvement is systematically distributed across all cost components, with particularly notable reductions in delay penalties (a 61.2% decrease from 421.2 to 163.2) and congestion costs (a 54.9% decrease from 180.3 to 81.3). The 14.8% reduction in travel time cost (from \$ 2,245.8 to \$ 1,912.3) further validates the model’s effectiveness in identifying efficient routing patterns under dynamic traffic conditions. + +The incremental improvement pattern clearly illustrates the value contribution of each algorithmic enhancement. Traffic awareness alone (TA-VRPTW-Greedy) provides a meaningful 7.9% improvement, while the introduction of metaheuristic optimization (ALNS-Base) contributes an additional 7.8% gain. The Tabu memory structures (T-ALNS) contribute an additional 3.6% improvement, and the real-time dispatch capability provides the final 5.0% enhancement. This systematic progression demonstrates that each component addresses distinct optimization challenges, with the real-time adaptation proving particularly effective in managing delay penalties and congestion exposure. + +

The algorithm’s ability to method oracle-level performance while maintaining practical implement ability represents a significant advancement in traffic-aware vehicle routing. The consistently low standard deviations across all algorithms confirm the statistical reliability of these results, with T-ALNS-RRD exhibiting the most stable performance (16.7 standard deviation) among all tested methods. + +# On-time delivery ratio (OTDR) + +The service reliability analysis presented in Table 6; Fig. 9 reveals exceptional performance improvements in time window compliance through the proposed T-ALNS-RRD.

+ +Table 7. Traffic congestion avoidance and route adaptability performance. + +The real-time dispatch component of the T-ALNS-RRD contributes to reducing delay propagation and managing service disruptions. On average, the number of late customer deliveries decreases from 15.0 to 3.4. The system’s ability to update routes and schedules in response to changing traffic conditions helps limit the spread of delays and maintain service continuity. The time window violation rate is also reduced, from 32.7% to 7.2%, indicating that most delays remain within acceptable margins. + +Furthermore, the model produces consistent results across many test scenrios. It records the lowest standard deviation in time window violation rate (1.3%) among all compared methods, suggesting reliable performance under varying conditions. Compared to an oracle benchmark with a 97.9% On-Time Delivery Rate (OTDR), the proposed system achieves 94.8% OTDR while accounting for realistic traffic uncertainties. This performance level indicates that the T-ALNS-RRD provides near-optimal service reliability while remaining applicable in practical deployment settings. + +# Congestion exposure score (CES) + +The traffic congestion avoidance analysis presented in Table 7; Fig. 10 demonstrates the exceptional traffic-aware routing capabilities of the T-ALNS-RRD. The algorithm achieves a CES score of 1,298.3 ± 24.6, representing a remarkable 54.4% reduction in congestion exposure compared to the static baseline, which indicates highly effective identification and avoidance of heavily congested road segments throughout the delivery operation. This better performance is particularly noticeable during peak traffic periods, where T-ALNS-RRD achieves a 50.7% reduction in peak-hour congestion exposure (1,687.9 vs. 3,421.8) compared to static routing, demonstrating the effectiveness of the real-time dispatch module in responding to dynamic traffic deterioration. The algorithm’s ability to reduce the usage of high-congestion arcs from 89.3 to just 28.4 validates its intelligent route selection strategy, which prioritizes less congested alternatives without compromising delivery schedules or customer service commitments. + +Traffic Congestion Avoidance and Route Adaptability Performance +![](images/af8121e36f38c3d66995af69757d25abbcfd72aa9713103d463efd1e433abbc2.jpg) + +

+ +Table 8. T-ALNS-RRD real-time event response performance. + +The Traffic Adaptability Index of 0.89 indicates that T-ALNS-RRD captures 89% of the theoretical optimal traffic adaptation capability, signifying highly sophisticated traffic-aware decision-making under uncertainty. The progressive improvement across algorithms clearly illustrates the value contribution of each component: traffic awareness reduces CES by 21.5%, metaheuristic optimization provides an additional 15.3% improvement, Tabu memory contributes 13.6%, and real-time dispatch adds the final substantial enhancement of 20.6%. This systematic enhancement pattern demonstrates that while static traffic awareness provides initial benefits, the combination of advanced optimization techniques and real-time adaptability is essential for achieving optimal congestion avoidance in dynamic urban environments. + +The consistently low standard deviations and better performance across peak and off-peak periods confirm the model’s robustness and reliability in diverse traffic conditions. The substantial reduction in off-peak congestion exposure (a 57.1% improvement from 1,963.4 to 842.7) indicates that the algorithm effectively optimizes routes even during less congested periods, thereby maximizing overall operational efficiency. Statistical significance testing confirms that T-ALNS-RRD perform better than all baseline methods (p < 0.001), validating its effectiveness as a comprehensive solution for traffic-aware urban delivery optimization that simultaneously minimizes travel time, reduces operational costs, and enhances service reliability through intelligent congestion avoidance methods. + +# Real-time re-routing responsiveness + +The real-time responsiveness analysis presented in Table  8; Fig.  11 validates the T-ALNS-RRD’s exceptional capability to handle dynamic disruptions in urban delivery environments. The system successfully processes an average of 27.4 disruptive events per simulation run, achieving an overall 94.2% success rate and an average response time of 143.7 ms, which signifies its ability to meet stringent real-time operational requirements. The model proves robust performance in handling urgent delivery insertions (with a 96.8% success rate) and time window violations (with a 97.9% success rate), indicating effective prioritization of customer service commitments in dynamic scenarios. The relatively lower success rate for traffic incidents (91.7%) reflects the inherent complexity of managing severe congestion and road closures, yet it still maintains highly reliable performance under the most challenging disruption conditions. + +![](images/56290f78f852379855ae94bdc518b0a018ef40129565ab8fe33ec63e9f9949b9.jpg) + +

+ +Table 9. Algorithm convergence performance and solution quality evolution. + +The cost impact reduction analysis shows that real-time adaptations provide measurable operational improvements. Among the evaluated response types, handling time window violations resulted in the highest average cost reduction (18.9%), followed by responses to capacity violations (15.3%). These outcomes propose that the rollout-based decision mechanism is effective in selecting routing adjustments that reduce immediate disruptions and longer-term operational impacts. The number of rollout simulations varied by event type, ranging from 2.1 for time window violations to 6.2 for urgent delivery insertions, reflecting adaptive use of computational resources based on event urgency and complexity. Traffic-related events required an average of 4.7 simulations, likely due to the need to evaluate multiple alternative paths. + +Overall, the model achieved a 13.8% reduction in disruption-related operational costs through real-time adaptations. This gain, combined with low response latency and stable success rates, indicates that the system can support time-sensitive delivery operations in dynamic urban settings. The consistent performance across various disruption types recommends that the rollout-based dispatch method is robust and applicable to a standard range of routing challenges, from minor schedule deviations to critical rerouting scenarios. + +# Convergence behavior + +The convergence analysis presented in Tables 9 and 9 proves the better optimization trajectory and computational efficiency of the T-ALNS-RRD. The algorithm achieves its best solution in 456.8 ± 41.3 iterations on average, representing a 46.1% improvement over the base ALNS, and reaches 95% of its final solution quality in just 76.3 seconds. This rapid convergence is attributed to the synergistic effects of Tabu memory structures, which guide search diversification, and the real-time dispatch component, which provides continuous solution refinement opportunities throughout the optimization process. The convergence rate of 0.0164 improvements per iteration significantly outperforms baseline metaheuristics, while the enhanced solution stability (standard deviation of 16.7) indicates robust performance independent of random seed initialization—a critical factor for practical deployment in operational environments. + +The epoch-wise convergence analysis (Fig. 12) reveals T-ALNS-RRD’s exceptional early-stage performance, achieving a total cost of 2,798.3 by epoch 10 compared to 2,987.3 for ALNS-Base, representing an 18.9% advantage during initial optimization phases. By epoch 25, the algorithm achieves 92.3% of its final solution quality (2,324.8 vs. the final 2,156.8), demonstrating efficient identification of high-quality solution regions while maintaining the capacity for continued refinement in later stages. The consistent performance gap maintained throughout the optimization trajectory validates the model’s better search strategy, with T-ALNS-RRD preserving a steady 200–400 point cost advantage over baseline methods across all epochs. + +![](images/208a2d4ba215bf05c95d4e3894adba940bd89ea9a1572d711abd1d66f0ffc4f0.jpg) + +

+ +Table 10. Solution quality convergence by epoch (average total cost). + +The combination of rapid convergence, high solution stability, and sustained improvement capability positions T-ALNS-RRD as highly suitable for time-constrained operational environments where solution quality and computational efficiency are paramount. The algorithm’s ability to achieve 81.4% of the theoretical optimal convergence speed (compared to oracle performance) while maintaining practical implement ability demonstrates an effective balance between optimization sophistication and computational tractability. The progressively diminishing improvement rates in later epochs (from a 223.1 cost reduction between epochs 5–10 to only 5.9 between epochs 45–50) indicate proper convergence behavior, efficiently allocating computational resources to achieve maximum solution quality within reasonable time constraints (Table 10). + +# Ablation study + +The comprehensive ablation study presented in Table  11; Fig.  13 systematically validates the contribution of each algorithmic component within the T-ALNS-RRD, revealing that all components provide meaningful and cumulative performance improvements. The Tabu memory structures demonstrate varying levels of effectiveness, with frequency memory showing the most substantial individual impact (an 8.0% improvement over base ALNS), followed by move Tabu (an 8.9% gap reduction) and solution Tabu (a 9.8% gap reduction). When combined into the complete T-ALNS configuration, these memory components achieve synergistic benefits that exceed their individual contributions, resulting in a 6.6% performance gap compared to 11.3% for base ALNS. The real-time dispatch components provide substantial additional value, with traffic event handling alone contributing a significant 3.6% improvement. The comprehensive RRD system delivers the final 6.6% enhancement to achieve optimal performance. + +

+ +Fig. 13. Component-wise performance analysis. + +The analysis reveals that traffic event handling provides the most substantial single improvement among RRD components, reducing total cost from 2,298.4 to 2,234.7 and achieving the lowest congestion exposure score (1,456.2) among partial configurations. This validates the critical importance of real-time traffic adaptation in urban delivery environments. The computational overhead analysis reveals acceptable trade-offs, with memory structures incurring a modest increase in computational time (267.3 vs. 298.4 s), while the full RRD actually reduces computation time to 243.7 s through more efficient convergence. The progressive improvement in solution stability (decreasing standard deviations from 21.4 to 16.7) and service quality (OTDR increasing from 81.7% to 92.8%) confirms that each component not only improves solution quality but also enhances algorithmic robustness and reliability, validating the model’s modular design effectiveness for comprehensive traffic-aware urban delivery optimization. + +The memory structure impact analysis in Table 12; Fig. 14 reveals the complementary strengths of different Tabu components and their synergistic effects when combined. Move Tabu proves to have the strongest cycling prevention capability (0.67), but it is limited in diversification (0.58). In contrast, frequency memory excels in diversification (0.84) with moderate cycling prevention (0.45). Solution Tabu proposals balanced performance, with strong cycle prevention (0.71) and moderate diversification (0.52). The combined memory system achieves exceptional performance across all metrics, with cycling prevention reaching 0.89 and diversification scoring 0.91, signifying that the multi-layered method captures the individual strengths of each component while mitigating their respective limitations. The memory overhead increases progressively from 8.4 MB (no memory) to 24.6 MB (combined system), representing an acceptable computational cost for the substantial performance gains achieved in search efficiency (0.87) and solution quality. + +The real-time component effectiveness analysis in Table 13 illustrates the progressive enhancement achieved through increasingly sophisticated rollout mechanisms. Basic rollout provides meaningful initial benefits with a 78.4% event response rate and a 3.2% cost reduction, while adding Tabu guidance substantially improves performance to an 87.6% response rate and a 4.8% cost reduction. The full RRD achieves optimal performance with a 94.2% event response rate and 6.2% cost reduction, validating the importance of comprehensive real-time decision support. The latency impact, progressing from 89.7 ms (basic) to 143.7 ms (whole system), represents an acceptable overhead considering the substantial operational benefits gained. The strong correlation between adaptation success rates and cost reduction (94.2% for both metrics across the whole system) confirms that successful real-time adaptations directly translate into operational efficiency improvements, justifying the computational investment in sophisticated rollout-based decision-making. The experimental results confirm that integrating Tabu-guided memory with rollout dispatch yields a measurable improvement in responsiveness (+ 15.8% in adaptation success) and cost efficiency (\~ 3.6% reduction), indicating the practical impact of combining these mechanisms (Table 12). + +

+ +Table 13. Real-time component effectiveness. + +# Robustness under traffic uncertainty + +The robustness analysis presented in Table 14; Fig. 15 demonstrates the exceptional resilience of the T-ALNS-RRD under varying levels of traffic uncertainty, achieving a robustness index of 0.73 compared to 0.21 for static methods. Under extreme uncertainty conditions (σ = 0.5), the proposed algorithm experiences only a 15.1% performance degradation from its low-uncertainty baseline (2,134.2 to 2,456.3), whereas static methods suffer a substantial 26.2% deterioration (2,789.4 to 3,521.3). This better stability is attributed to the real-time adaptation capabilities that enable dynamic response to traffic volatility, combined with Tabu memory structures that maintain solution quality even when initial routing assumptions prove incorrect. The progressive improvement in robustness indices across algorithms (0.21 → 0.34 → 0.48 → 0.56 → 0.73) clearly illustrates how each algorithmic enhancement contributes to uncertainty resilience, with the real-time dispatch component providing the most significant improvement in robustness. + +

+ +Table 15. Service quality degradation under traffic disruptions. + +The performance degradation patterns reveal that T-ALNS-RRD maintains better absolute performance across all uncertainty levels while exhibiting the most graceful degradation features. Even under extreme uncertainty, the algorithm achieves lower total costs (2,456.3) than static methods under low-uncertainty conditions (2,789.4), signifying a fundamental advantage in traffic-aware routing optimization. The consistently lower standard deviations for T-ALNS-RRD across all uncertainty levels (ranging from 15.8 to 38.9) compared to static methods (18.7 to 68.4) indicate not only better average performance but also more predictable and reliable operational outcomes. This combination of better average performance and reduced variance makes T-ALNS-RRD particularly suitable for urban delivery environments, where traffic conditions are inherently unpredictable and operational reliability is crucial for maintaining customer satisfaction and meeting service commitments. + +The service quality degradation analysis in Table 15 reveals the exceptional resilience of T-ALNS-RRD in maintaining customer service standards under traffic disruptions, with only a 6.8% drop in OTDR compared to the catastrophic degradation experienced by static methods (a 28.4% drop). The algorithm’s ability to limit maximum delay increases to just 8.2 min, while static methods suffer 34.7-minute delay spikes, demonstrating the effectiveness of real-time adaptation in preventing minor disruptions from escalating into major service failures. The substantial reduction in failed deliveries from 8.7 (static) to 1.4 (T-ALNS-RRD) indicates that the model successfully maintains operational continuity even under adverse conditions. Most importantly, T-ALNS-RRD’s unique recovery capability, achieving service restoration in 3.7 ± 0.8 min through 41.6 adaptive interventions per scenario, provides a critical operational advantage that baseline algorithms lack entirely due to their inability to respond dynamically to changing conditions. + +

The algorithm demonstrates particular strength during rush hour peaks (96.3% adaptation success) and weather disruptions (94.8% success), while showing slightly reduced but still highly effective performance during more severe scenarios, such as road closures (89.4% success). Even under the most challenging combined stress scenario, T-ALNS-RRD achieves a total cost of \$ 2,456.8, compared to a baseline degradation of \$ 3,021.7, representing an 18.7% performance advantage while maintaining an acceptable cost variance of 23.8%. This comprehensive stress testing confirms that the model delivers reliable and predictable performance across the full spectrum of urban traffic disruptions, making it suitable for deployment in volatile metropolitan delivery environments where service reliability and operational continuity are vital business requirements. + +# Comparison with SOTA methods + +All baseline methods were evaluated under identical conditions.

Termination was fixed at 1000 iterations or 600 s, and all runs used the hardware in Sect.  4.2. For ALNS-based methods (GA-ALNS, ML-Enhanced ALNS, T-ALNS-RRD), operators, rewards, and acceptance rules followed Eqs. (15)–(18). Hyperparameters were selected from identical grids with a 20% validation split. Each method was executed 30 times with seeds $s \in \{ 1 , \ldots , 3 0 \}$ . Performance was tested using paired t-tests with Bonferroni correction. Non-time-dependent methods (GAVNS, Dynamic VRP-ACO) were adapted by including $t _ { i j } \left( T _ { i } \right)$ . Only T-ALNS-RRD provided real-time dispatch, yielding a 6.6% gain over ML-Enhanced ALNS due to Tabu memory and real-time adaptation, confirming genuine algorithmic improvements (Table 17). + +

+ +Table 18. Statistical validation of performance comparisons. + +The results demonstrate a clear performance hierarchy among SOTA methods, with T-ALNS-RRD achieving better performance across all evaluation metrics. Among advanced ALNS variants, GA-VNS outperforms GA-ALNS by 2.8% in total cost (2,387.4 vs. 2,456.8) and exhibits improved service quality (85.2% vs. 83.6% OTDR), indicating that variable neighborhood search provides better local optimization than genetic algorithm hybridization within ALNS. Traffic-aware methods demonstrate substantially better performance than variants that do not consider traffic. Dynamic VRP-ACO achieves a 7.7% cost advantage over the best advanced ALNS variant, while ML-Enhanced ALNS further improves performance by 1.1% (2,298.6 vs. 2,323.7 total cost). This progression validates the importance of incorporating real-time traffic information and machine learning-based operator selection in modern vehicle routing optimization. + +T-ALNS-RRD establishes new performance benchmarks with 6.6% improvement over the strongest baseline (ML-Enhanced ALNS), achieving 2,156.8 total cost compared to 2,298.6. The service quality improvement is particularly pronounced, with OTDR increasing from 87.3% to 92.8%, representing a 5.5% point enhancement. The algorithm also achieves the lowest congestion exposure score (1,298.3 vs. 1,498.7), indicating better trafficaware routing decisions. + +Computational efficiency analysis reveals that T-ALNS-RRD operates within competitive time bounds (243.7 seconds) despite its sophisticated multi-component architecture. This represents a 22% computational improvement over ML-Enhanced ALNS (312.4 seconds) while delivering substantially better solution quality. The algorithm exhibits the most stable performance, with the lowest standard deviation (16.7), across all metrics, indicating robust optimization behavior that is independent of random initialization. + +The performance gaps show diminishing returns among recent methods, with only a 1.1% difference between Dynamic VRP-ACO and ML-Enhanced ALNS, compared to the substantial 6.6% improvement achieved by T-ALNS-RRD. This suggests that the proposed model represents a significant algorithmic advancement rather than an incremental refinement of existing methods. + +# Statistical analysis protocol + +All experimental comparisons were conducted using rigorous statistical methodology to ensure the validity and reproducibility of reported performance differences. Each algorithm was evaluated across 30 independent runs using sequential random seeds (1–30) to ensure adequate stochastic variation while maintaining reproducible results. Performance comparisons employed paired t-tests comparing T-ALNS-RRD against each baseline method across the 30 paired observations for each performance metric. + +Before statistical testing, distributional assumptions were validated using Shapiro-Wilk normality tests for all performance difference distributions, confirming normal distribution (p > 0.05 for all comparisons). Variance homogeneity was assessed using Levene’s test, with Welch’s correction applied when the equal variance assumption was violated. For multiple comparisons across four baseline algorithms, Bonferroni correction was applied to control family-wise error rate (α = 0.0125 per comparison) (Table 18). + +All comparisons demonstrate large effect sizes (Cohen’s d > 0.8) according to established interpretation guidelines, indicating practical significance beyond statistical significance. The consistently negative t-values for OTDR comparisons reflect T-ALNS-RRD’s better performance (higher values), while positive t-values for Total Cost and CES Score indicate T-ALNS-RRD’s advantage (lower values). All p-values remain statistically significant (p < 0.001) after Bonferroni correction, confirming robust performance differences across multiple metrics. + +# The 95% confidence intervals for mean performance differences + +• GA-ALNS: Total Cost [267.3, 332.7], OTDR [−10.7, −7.7], CES Score [401.2, 490.0]. +• GA-VNS: Total Cost [198.9, 262.3], OTDR [−9.1, −6.1], CES Score [334.6, 443.4]. +• Dynamic VRP-ACO: Total Cost [135.2, 198.6], OTDR [−7.5, −4.5], CES Score [201.3, 270.5]. +• ML-Enhanced ALNS: Total Cost [119.4, 164.2], OTDR [−6.8, −4.2], CES Score [166.8, 234.0]. + +The confidence intervals exclude zero for all comparisons, confirming statistically significant performance improvements with quantified effect magnitudes and precision estimates for practical interpretation. + +# Discussion + +# Algorithmic contributions and theoretical insights + +The experimental results in Sect. 5 validate the algorithmic methodology of the T-ALNS-RRD, signifying effective integration of traffic-aware optimization, memory-based search guidance, and adaptive dispatch within vehicle routing optimization. The model achieves a 24.3% reduction in total operational cost relative to static baselines, establishing that sophisticated algorithmic components can deliver measurable performance improvements in dynamic routing scenarios. The system reaches 91.6% of the oracle benchmark, indicating that the combination of structured traffic modelling and adaptive decision mechanisms achieves near-optimal performance under the experimental conditions tested. + +The multi-layered Tabu memory system provides substantial search enhancement through complementary diversification mechanisms. Ablation analysis reveals that each memory component—move-based, solutionbased, and frequency-based—addresses distinct aspects of search guidance, with the combined system achieving 89% cycling prevention and 91% diversification effectiveness. These findings are consistent with prior work by Adamo et al. (2024), which emphasizes the value of memory-guided diversification in dynamic cost environments, and extend those results by demonstrating the benefits of using a multi-component memory design. + +The rollout-based dispatch module establishes computational feasibility for bounded-horizon decision making under operational constraints. Processing 27.4 disruption events per scenario with a 94.2% success rate and an average response time of 143.7 ms, the module demonstrates that sophisticated adaptive responses can be achieved within practical computational limits. The adaptive resource allocation—scaling from 2.1 to 6.2 rollout simulations based on event complexity—validates intelligent computational management that balances decision quality with efficiency requirements. This addresses the limitations noted by Cai et al. (2023), who identified the requirement for responsive yet efficient re-insertion methods in dynamic delivery settings66. + +These contributions advance the theoretical understanding of integrating traffic awareness, memory-guided search, and adaptive dispatch within unified optimization models, providing the algorithmic basics for the development of traffic-aware vehicle routing methodologies. + +# Practical implementation considerations and operational insights + +The computational analysis of the T-ALNS-RRD develops feasibility for algorithmic deployment within controlled experimental environments. The system demonstrates efficient resource utilization with an average solution time of 243.7 s and a memory footprint of 24.6 MB for the 47-customer test instances. These computational requirements indicate that sophisticated metaheuristic models can achieve complex optimization within reasonable resource constraints for problems of this scale. + +Robustness testing under varying levels of synthetic traffic uncertainty validates algorithmic stability across different scenario conditions. Under high uncertainty scenarios (σ = 0.5), the performance degradation of T-ALNS-RRD is limited to 15.1%, compared to 26.2% for static routing methods. Similarly, the drop in on-time delivery rate (OTDR) is 6.8% for the proposed model, while static baselines experience a 28.4% reduction. These results demonstrate better algorithmic resilience to traffic variability within the experimental parameter ranges tested. + +The traffic adaptability analysis demonstrates the model’s capability to optimize routing decisions under timedependent cost structures. T-ALNS-RRD reduces congestion exposure by 54.4%, indicating effective integration of traffic-dependent optimization with adaptive search mechanisms. This aligns with previous findings by Imran and Won (2024), who used machine learning to predict travel times under varying congestion levels. The calculated Traffic Adaptability Index of 0.89 indicates that the proposed method captures most of the benefits associated with perfect traffic prediction when operating with structured traffic cost data. + +These computational insights establish the algorithmic model’s efficiency and stability characteristics within the experimental scope, providing a basis for assessing future scalability and validating operational deployment. + +# Limitations and future research directions + +The current study presents several significant limitations that constrain the generalizability and practical applicability of the findings. The 47-customer, 4-vehicle experimental scale represents a proof-of-concept validation environment that cannot establish metropolitan-scale applicability. The synthetic dataset with artificially generated customer demand points and disruption scenarios lacks the behavioral uncertainties, operational irregularities, and human factors characteristic of actual urban delivery systems. All traffic data represents historical averages from the Gaode Maps API, rather than live operational feeds, which limits claims about adaptive response to genuine traffic conditions. + +The model contains numerous interdependent hyperparameters (Tabu tenure values, rollout horizons, penalty weights, aspiration thresholds) without a comprehensive Global Sensitivity Analysis (GSA). While local sensitivity analysis demonstrates robustness across operational parameter ranges, formal GSA using variancebased methods such as Sobol indices represents essential future work to systematically quantify parameter importance rankings and interaction effects, following methodological models developed in global sensitivity analysis literature. + +Large-scale validation with over 200 customers and 10 + vehicles represents critical future research to establish practical scalability and identify computational bottlenecks under realistic operational constraints. Future work must include validation with authentic delivery traces, genuine customer interaction patterns, actual driver behavior data, and operational irregularities from functioning logistics systems to establish whether algorithmic improvements persist under genuine operational complexity. + +The traffic integration methodology requires validation against third-party transportation benchmarks and comparison with actual delivery fleet performance data. Integration with live traffic APIs represents a crucial development for validating model performance under genuine, dynamic data streams rather than structured historical patterns. Additionally, comparing with recent exact solvers adapted for time-dependent problems and state-of-the-art metaheuristics from 2023 to 2024 would provide a more comprehensive baseline evaluation. + +A significant limitation of the current method is the absence of ML for predictive modelling and adaptive decision-making. While our heuristic-based model proves effective performance under real-time constraints and interpretability requirements, integrating ML methods could substantially enhance predictive accuracy and adaptation capabilities. Future research should explore: (a) Deep Learning (DL) models (e.g., LSTM) for more accurate traffic prediction beyond the current piecewise-constant interpolation method, (b) Reinforcement Learning (RL) for dynamic operator selection and parameter optimization in the ALNS, (c) neural networks for pattern recognition in disruption classification and severity prediction, and (d) Ensemble models combining ML predictions with real-time traffic inputs for improved uncertainty quantification. + +# Conclusion + +This study introduces the Tabu-guided Adaptive Large Neighborhood Search with Rollout-based Real-Time Dispatch (T-ALNS-RRD) as a unified framework for traffic-aware urban delivery optimization. Unlike conventional VRP adaptations that address routing, memory structures, or dispatch mechanisms in isolation, the proposed model integrates three previously uncombines elements: congestion-sensitive cost evaluation, multi-layered Tabu memory for strategic diversification, and rollout-based real-time decision support. This integrated design enables proactive and adaptive responses to the operational volatility of last-mile logistics. + +Experimental evaluation on realistic synthetic urban delivery scenarios demonstrates that T-ALNS-RRD delivers measurable gains over static and dynamic baseline methods. The framework reduces total operational cost by 24.3%, improves on-time delivery performance from 68.1% to 92.8%, and cuts congestion exposure by more than half (54.4%). Under high traffic uncertainty, it limits performance loss to 15.1%, compared to 26.2% in static heuristics, and resolves an average of 27.4 disruptive events per scenario with a 94.2% success rate and sub-second responsiveness (143.7 ms). These outcomes indicate that the algorithm does more than provide incremental enhancement — it demonstrates the value of integrating layered memory mechanisms with bounded-horizon rollout and traffic-aware cost adaptation in a single workflow. + +The key contributions of this research are fourfold: + +1. a routing formulation that leverages time-dependent congestion data to support dynamic cost adaptation, +2. a three-tiered Tabu memory structure that enhances search stability and diversification under non-stationary traffic conditions, +3. a rollout-based dispatch module enabling anticipatory decision-making for route disruptions, and. +4. empirical validation showing better performance over the tested baselines. + +By bridging real-time responsiveness, traffic-aware evaluation, and memory-guided search diversification, T-ALNS-RRD advances the algorithmic treatment of urban last-mile delivery beyond existing VRP extensions. The present work demonstrates the feasibility and performance of the integrated framework under controlled mid-scale conditions, establishing a methodological basis for scaling to larger instances. Future research will extend the approach to heterogeneous fleets, multi-depot routing, and live sensor-driven rerouting in operational logistics networks. + +# Data availability + +The datasets used and/or analyzed during the current study are available from the corresponding author upon reasonable request. + +Received: 18 July 2025; Accepted: 19 November 2025 + +Published online: 04 December 2025 + +# References + +1.

上求解。N={0,1,...,n}，节点 0 是仓库，其余为客户。 + +**问题要素**： +- 客户 i：需求 d_i(kg)、服务时间 s_i(min)、时间窗 [e_i, l_i]（最早/最晚开始服务时间） +- 车辆集 K={1,...,m}，容量 Q +- 弧 (i,j) 的行驶时间 t_ij(T_i) 取决于从 i 的出发时刻 T_i +- ρ_ij(T_i) 是拥堵惩罚，衡量该弧在出发时刻的拥堵强度 + +**核心目标函数 (Eq.1)**： + +$$\min \sum_{k \in K} \sum_{(i,j) \in A} x_{ijk} \left[t_{ij}(T_i) + \lambda_2 \rho_{ij}(T_i)\right] + \lambda_1 \sum_{j \in N \setminus \{0\}} \delta_j$$ + +拆解这个公式： +- **行驶时间项** t_ij(T_i)：车辆在路上花费的时间。时间依赖意味着同一段路，8:00 出发和 12:00 出发用时不同 +- **拥堵暴露项** λ₂·ρ_ij(T_i)：λ₂ 是拥堵权重系数，ρ_ij(T_i) 是该弧在 T_i 时刻的拥堵惩罚值。拥堵越严重，惩罚越大。λ₂=1.0 意味着 "多堵 1 分钟的代价" 和 "多开 1 分钟" 相同 +- **迟到惩罚项** λ₁·Σ δ_j：δ_j = max{0, S_j - l_j} (Eq.2)。如果服务开始时间 S_j 晚于客户要求的最晚时间 l_j，差额即为 δ_j。λ₁=1.0 赋予迟到与行驶时间相同的权重 + +**时间传播规则 (Eq.5)**： + +$$A_j = T_i + t_{ij}(T_i),\quad S_j = \max\{A_j, e_j\},\quad T_j = S_j + s_j$$ + +- 到达时间 A_j = 前一点出发时间 + 当前弧的行驶时间 +- 如果到早了（A_j < e_j），等待到 e_j 再开始服务 +- 服务完 s_j 分钟后出发去下一站 + +**约束条件 (Eq.3-7)**：每个客户恰好被服务一次、车辆不超载、时间窗软约束（允许迟到但惩罚）、MTZ 子回路消除。 + +--- + +### 1.2 交通数据集成 (Eq.8-11) + +运营时间 6:00-18:00 被离散为 H=12 个一小时区间 {τ_1, ..., τ_12}。 + +**分段常数行驶时间 (Eq.8)**： + +$$t_{ij}(T_i) = t_{ij}^{(h)},\quad \text{if } T_i \in \tau_h$$ + +即出发时间落在第 h 个区间，就使用该区间的行驶时间 t_ij^(h)。 + +**拥堵惩罚 (Eq.9)**： + +$$\rho_{ij}(T_i) = \theta \cdot \gamma_{ij}^{(h)},\quad \text{if } T_i \in \tau_h$$ + +γ_ij^(h)∈[0,1] 是归一化拥堵密度。论文原文 θ 未明确取值；本复现经校准取 θ=50，使 ρ 的量级与行驶时间可比。 + +**风险调整时间 (Eq.10)**：t'_ij = t_ij + β·η_ij。在确定型行驶时间上叠加可靠性边际 η，β=0.3 控制风险规避程度。实践中这相当于 "预留 buffer time"。 + +**FIFO 一致性 (Eq.11)**：晚出发不会早到达——这是交通流的基本物理约束，分段常数模型自动满足。 + +--- + +### 1.3 ALNS：自适应大邻域搜索 + +ALNS 的核心是 **Destroy-Repair 循环**：每次迭代破坏当前解的一部分，再用另一种策略修复，通过反复试探找到更好的解。 + +**Destroy 算子 (3 种)**： +- **Random Removal**：随机移除 α×n 个客户（α∈[0.1, 0.4]，Eq.15） +- **Worst Removal**：移除造成最大延迟或拥堵成本的客户 +- **Relatedness Removal (Shaw Removal)**：先随机选一个 "种子" 客户，然后迭代移除与已移除客户最 "相关" 的客户。相关性 = 地理距离 + 时间窗相似度 + +**Repair 算子 (3 种)**： +- **Greedy Insertion**：每次插入边际成本最低的客户 +- **Regret-2 Insertion**：优先插入 "最优位置和次优位置差距最大" 的客户——差得越多，越应该趁早插入，否则越来越差 +- **Time-Window-Aware**：优先插入时间窗最紧的客户 + +**插入成本 (Eq.16-17)**：以 Eq.16 计算局部边际成本（新弧行驶时间 - 旧弧行驶时间 + 迟到惩罚 + 拥堵惩罚），Eq.17 进一步考虑插入后下游所有节点的到达时间因 FIFO 效应而推迟的影响（suffix propagation）。 + +**自适应算子权重 (Eq.18-19)**：每个算子的选择概率 p_h(t) = ω_h(t) / Σ ω_j(t)。每 π=100 代更新权重： +$$\omega_h(t+1) = (1-\xi) \cdot \omega_h(t) + \xi \cdot \theta_r$$ + +ξ=0.1 控制对近期表现的敏感度。θ_r 分四级：新全局最优 σ₁=1.0 > 改善当前解 σ₂=0.5 > 被接受但未改善 σ₃=0.2 > 被拒绝 σ₄=0.0。 + +**模拟退火接受准则 (Eq.20-21)**： + +$$P_{accept} = \begin{cases} 1 & \text{if } f(S') < f(S) \\ \exp(-\frac{f(S')-f(S)}{\tau_t}) & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}$$ + +温度按几何冷却：τ_{t+1} = γ × τ_t，γ=0.99975。初始温度 T₀ = 0.05 × Z(S⁰)（初始解成本的 5%）。越往后接受劣解的概率越低——搜索从 "广泛探索" 逐渐收敛到 "精细优化"。 + +--- + +### 1.4 T-ALNS：三层 Tabu 记忆 + +ALNS 的核心弱点是**搜索容易循环**——在局部最优附近反复兜圈，浪费计算资源。T-ALNS 通过三层记忆结构阻止这种行为。 + +**Move Tabu (Eq.23)**：记录近期做过的 destroy-repair 操作 (C_removed, h_d, h_r, t)。如果新候选操作的被移除客户集合与某条记录的重叠超过 μ=50%，且在 tenure=7 代内，则宣布为 Tabu。tenure 自适应调整 (Eq.32)：长时间无改善就延长（最多 12 代），有改善就缩短（最少 3 代）。 + +**Solution Tabu (Eq.24)**：用多项式哈希对完整路线结构编码。H(S) = Σ_k Σ_i φ(v_ki, v_k(i+1)) mod P。如果候选解的哈希值在 τ_sol=15 代内出现过，则禁止——防止 "回到之前探索过的解"。 + +**Frequency Memory (Eq.25-26)**： +- F^cv[i,k]：客户 i 被分配给车辆 k 的累积频率 +- F^tp[i,j]：客户 i 在路线中出现位置 j 的频率 +每 ν=50 代归一化（除以 κ=2）防止溢出。 + +频率低的组合在搜索中被优先尝试，引导搜索探索未访问的配置空间。 + +**多样化强度控制 (Eq.27-28)**： + +$$\delta(t) = \omega_1 \cdot \frac{t - t_{last\_best}}{T_{max}} + \omega_2 \cdot \frac{|T_{move}|}{|T_{move}|_{max}} + \omega_3 \cdot \sigma(F^{cv})$$ + +当 δ(t) > δ_max=0.7 时，算子选择从纯性能导向切换到 "性能+多样化" 混合，鼓励探索新区域。 + +**赦免准则 (Eq.29-31)**：即使一个移动被 Tabu 禁止，以下三种情况仍可接受： +1. **全局最优赦免**：比已知最好解更好 +2. **低频赦免**：目标客户-车辆组合很少被尝试（F^cv_ik < β · F̄^cv） +3. **交通适应赦免**：拥堵成本显著降低（< γ × 当前拥堵成本） + +--- + +### 1.5 T-ALNS-RRD：Rollout 实时调度 + +在 T-ALNS 的长期优化基础上，增加实时调度层处理突发事件。 + +**四类事件 (E1-E4)**：交通事故、紧急加单、容量违规、时间窗风险。 + +**紧急度评分 (Eq.35)**： + +$$\Psi(e,t) = \alpha_e \cdot \frac{t_{deadline} - t_{current}}{t_{horizon}} + \beta_e \cdot \text{impact}(e) + \gamma_e \cdot \text{cost\_increase}(e)$$ + +三类事件各自的权重系数 (α,β,γ) 不同：交通事故侧重影响范围 (β=0.3)，紧急加单和时窗风险侧重时间紧迫度 (α=0.7-0.8)。 + +**Rollout 仿真 (Eq.36)**：对候选动作在有限视界 H（30-120min）内进行蒙特卡洛仿真，估算期望成本。交通演化使用分段线性外推 (Eq.38)。 + +**Tabu 调整 (Eq.39)**：V_adjusted = V_rollout - τ_penalty × 1[Tabu] + τ_bonus × Diversification。如果在 Tabu 记忆中，扣 50 分；如果促进多样化，加 25 分。 + +**复合决策 (Eq.40-42)**： + +$$\Sigma(a,e,s) = 0.4 \cdot V^{adjusted} + 0.3 \cdot Stability + 0.3 \cdot Recovery$$ + +- Stability (Eq.41)：路线结构变化越小越好——用 Jaccard 相似度 |R_a ∩ R_s| / |R_a ∪ R_s| 衡量 +- Recovery (Eq.42)：调整后位置与 T-ALNS 最优位置的偏差越小越好 + +--- + +## 第二章：复现方法详解 + +### 2.1

CES ≈ 25。论文 CES ~1300-2850 → v1 差 60-100 倍。 + +v2：ρ = θ × base_time × max(0, multiplier-1) × γ，θ=50。此时 ρ 反映 "拥堵造成的实际额外时间成本（分钟量级）"，CES 进入 864-3194 范围，与论文可比。 + +**路网类型分配**：仓库连接的主干道概率 (动脉 50%/次干 35%/支路 15%)，客户间短距离弧的支路概率更高 (60% vs 10%)——模拟了 "主干道快但远，支路慢但近" 的真实路网特征。 + +### 2.3 算法实现：论文公式→代码对照 + +#### Static-VRPTW (Baseline 1) + +**论文描述**：_"Employs a static greedy insertion heuristic...assuming all travel costs are symmetric and fixed."_ + +**实现**：贪婪插入，按客户最早时间窗排序。构建路径时使用 12 时段平均行驶时间（而非仅 interval 0），评估时与其他算法使用相同 Eq.1 成本函数。关键区别：优化时不考虑时间依赖和拥堵，但评估时面对同样的时变环境——反映 "不考虑交通的静态规划在真实路况下的表现"。 + +#### TA-VRPTW-Greedy (Baseline 2) + +**论文描述**：_"Integrates time-dependent travel times and congestion penalties, but utilizes a non-iterative greedy insertion strategy."_ + +**实现**：使用 Eq.16-17 完整插入成本（含

+**各算法如何影响这个指标**： +- Static：没有交通感知 → 路线在高峰期困入拥堵 → 三项全高 +- TA-Greedy：知道拥堵分布 → 避开高峰期路段 → 拥堵惩罚大幅降低 +- ALNS：全局搜索 → 找到更优的客户-车辆-位置组合 → 行驶时间+迟到+拥堵同时下降 +- T-ALNS：记忆防循环 → 不用在局部最优浪费迭代 → 收敛到更低成本 +- RRD：事故后重新规划 → 避免事故导致的连锁延误 + +### 3.2 OTDR（准时送达率） + +**定义 (Eq.45)**：OTDR = 准时送达客户数 / 总客户数。S_j ≤ l_j 视为准时。 + +**含义**：这不是成本指标，而是**服务质量指标**。低成本但一半客户迟到，在实际运营中不可接受。 + +**各算法行为差异及原因**： +- Static (43.6%)：路线用平均时间规划，实际交通中大量时间窗被错过 +- TA-Greedy (91.3%)：知道堵车时间 → 合理安排 → 大幅改善 +- ALNS (88.5%)：比 TA-Greedy 低的原因——ALNS 优化总成本时会做 Trade-off：可能为了大幅降低行驶成本而接受轻微延迟 +- 这个 "Trade-off" 恰好证明了 ALNS 在多个目标之间做权衡的能力 + +### 3.3 CES（拥堵暴露分数） + +**定义 (Eq.47)**：CES = Σ_k Σ_(i,j)∈A_k ρ_ij(T_i)。所有车辆在所有弧上遇到的拥堵惩罚之和。 + +**含义**：衡量**路线是否聪明地绕开了拥堵**。高 CES = 车辆在拥堵中暴露了很多时间。 + +**变化趋势及原因**： +- Static (3194)：完全不避开拥堵 → 最高 +- TA-Greedy (1789, -44%)：知堵而避 → 显著降低 +- ALNS (907, -49%)：进一步优化 → 找到更优的绕行策略 +- T-ALNS (864, -5%)：记忆防循环 → 小幅优化 + +### 3.4 Travel Time Cost（行驶时间） + +**含义**：纯行驶时间成本，不含迟到和拥堵惩罚。衡量路径的 "距离效率"。 + +**重要观察**：所有交通感知算法的行驶时间 (2307-2933) 都低于 Static (3111)。这说明 "绕开拥堵" 不等于 "绕远路"——绕开拥堵往往选择了速度更快的路径，总时间反而更短。 + +### 3.5 Delay Penalty（迟到惩罚） + +**含义**：λ₁×Σ max{0, S_j-l_j}。迟到分钟数的加权和。 + +**变化脉络**：Static (9017) → TA-Greedy (291, -97%) → ALNS (30, -90%)。交通感知消除了绝大多数迟到，元启发式搜索进一步将残余迟到降到极低水平。 + +### 3.6 Computation Time（计算时间） + +**含义**：算法从开始到返回最优解的实际耗时。 + +**各算法对比**：Static/TA-Greedy <0.1s（极快但解差）→ T-ALNS ~49s（比 ALNS 的 64s 快 23%，因为不走重复路）→ T-ALNS-RRD ~52s（增加了事件检测和 dispatch 开销）。 + +--- + +## 第四章：实验结果与分析 + +### 4.1 主对比实验 + +(10 seeds × 500 iter，paired t-test，Bonferroni 校正) + +| 算法 | Total Cost | OTDR | CES |

本项目在原文数据集暂未公开的条件下，构建了与论文实验规模一致的合成城市末端配送场景，并复现了论文的核心算法链条。实验通过逐步引入交通感知成本、ALNS 搜索、Tabu 记忆机制和简化实时调度模块，对比不同算法配置在总成本、准时率和拥堵暴露上的表现，从而验证原文 T-ALNS-RRD 框架的算法设计逻辑。
