Abstract

Due to the pollution and increment in fuel price, that a department store in Mexico faces, a heuristic that can solve TSP is proposed. It minimizes fuel consumption, considering elevation, traffic and truckload while delivering. The results indicate that the proposed delivery policy reduces fuel consumption up to 15%.
