This innovative method has been developed and then compared to another well-known method of solving routing classic problems which is proposed by Clarke and Wright. These two methods are firstly coded by a programmer and then 295 randomly generated problems have been solved by these algorithm and the time and quality of their solutions were compared with each other.
