Abstract: Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows(VRPTW) is a very important extended type of Vehicle Routing Problem(VRP).Based on the idea of ant colony optimization,a hybrid improved ant algorithm for solving this problem is designed and some Solomon instances are solved.Computational experiments are tested and the results are compared with some other heuristic methods which is promising in good performances.

Key words: Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows(VRPTW), hybrid ant algorithm, transition probability amending
