Dial-a-ride problem, a variant of vehicle routing problem (VRP), deals with the allocation of customer requests to vehicles, scheduling the pick-up and drop-off times and the sequence of serving those requests by ensuring high customer satisfaction with minimized travel cost. In this paper, we propose an improved tabu search (ITS) heuristic for static dial-a-ride problem (DARP) with the objective of obtaining high-quality solutions in short time.
