摘　　要：The problem of local container vehicle routing is one of the most important problems for container forwarders in modem container logistics and transportation. The objective of the problem is to minimize the service cost and make the customers not exceed vehicle＇s travel time. in this paper, we propose an optimizing model of local container vehicle routing with time window constraints, which supports rail or maritime intermodal operations. Then we concentrate on developing a GA-TSP algorithm through improving solution encoding, genetic algorithm （GA） operators and involution strategy. Based on the Solomon＇s customer problem, an experimental evaluation of the proposed model is performed. It has been found that the proposed model is potentially efficient and useful in solving local container vehicle routing problems.
