Abstract: The dynamic pickup and delivery problem with time windows arises in courier companies making same-day pickup and delivery of letters and small parcels. In this problem solution quality is affected by the way waiting time is distributed along vehicle routes. This article defines and compares four waiting strategies. An extensive empirical study is carried out on instances generated using real-life data.
