abstract = {In this paper, we propose two population pre-selection operators to improve by the k-means algorithm (clustering) and neighborhood techniques the determination of the in-itial population (not-randomly population) used in the evolutionary and genetic algo-rithms to solve the Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows (VRPTW). The re-sults provide individual or chromosomes in the initial population near to the optimal in VRPTW instances.},
