Abstract
The aim of the work is to propose algorithms which solve transportation problems, viz. Pickup and Delivery Problem with Time Windows (PDPTW), taking into consideration the identification and description of the current situation. The essential element of a solution is to calculate measures of the current situation and use them to decide on versions and configurations of algorithms performed dealing with given kinds of problems the best and limit the computational time.
