Multi-period vehicle routing problem with time windows for drug distribution in the epidemic situation

•We integrate epidemic spread model and multi-period vehicle routing problem to consider the synergy between them.•An ε-global optimization method and a hybrid tabu search heuristic are applied to solve different size instances.•Extensive test experiments are conducted to study the performance of ou...
