Vehicle routing problems with time windows (VRPTW) have gained a lot of attention due to their important role in real-life logistics and transport. As a result of the complexity of real-life situations, most problems are multi-constrained and multi-objective, which increases their difficulty. The aim of this paper is to contribute to the effective solution of VRPTW-related problems. Therefore, research questions and objectives are set in accordance with PRISMA guidelines, and data extraction and analysis of the relevant literature within the last five years (2018-2022) are compared to answer the set research questions. The results show that approximately 86% of the algorithms involved in the literature are approximate methods, with more meta-heuristics than heuristics, and nearly 40% of the literature uses hybrid methods combining two or more algorithms.
