The analytic center cutting plane method (ACCPM) is one of successful methods to solve nondifferentiable optimization problems. In this paper, ACCPM is used to accelerate Lagrangian relaxation procedure for solving a vehicle routing problem with time windows (VRPTW). First, a basic cutting plane algorithm and its relationship with a column generation technique is clarified. Then, the proposed method based on ACCPM is explained as a stabilization technique for Lagrangian relaxation. Both approaches are tested on a benchmark instance to demonstrate the advantages of the proposed method in terms of computational time and quality of lower bounds.
