In this paper, an improved memetic differential evolution algorithm with generalized fitness (MDEGF) is proposed for vehicle routing problem with time windows (VRPTW). A generalized fitness strategy is designed to evaluate the quality of source-individuals, which incorporates three simple local search techniques and helps to improve the convergent performance. Experimental results show that the novel algorithm can solve the VRPTW and obtain better solution in short time. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.
