The containers drayage problem studied here arise in ISO container distribution and collecting processes, in regions which are oriented to container sea ports or inland terminals. Containers of different sizes, but mostly 20ft, and 40ft empty and/or loaded should be delivered to, or collected...

Recently hybrid metaheuristics have been design to find solutions for combinatorial optimisation problems. We focus on hybrid procedures that combine local search based metaheuristics with exact algorithms of the operations research field. We present a mapping that outlines the metaheuristic and...
