摘要：Because of the inherent complex of stochastic VRP, analytical method, which uses opportunity constraint to express the randomness, can not solve the problem properly without neglecting some factors, like wait time. In this paper, we propose a discrete simulation method, which uses the simulation software Arena. Not only can the software simulate the random VRP process, but also it provides us the programming interface with VB, by which we can employ the tabu search optimization algorithm to obtain a satisfied result. At last, computer experiment shows that the simulation method is valid and efficient.
