A parallel improved ant colony optimization for multi-depot vehicle routing problem
This paper presents a method for solving multi-depot vehicle routing problem (MDVRP). First, a virtual central depot is added to transfer MDVRP to the multi-depot vehicle routing problem with the virtual central depot (V-MDVRP), which is similar to a vehicle routing problem (VRP) with the virtual central depot as the origin. An improved ant colony optimization with coarse-grain parallel strateg...
متن کاملAn improved ant colony optimization for vehicle routing problem
The vehicle routing problem (VRP), a well-known combinatorial optimization problem, holds a central place in logistics management. This paper proposes an improved ant colony optimization (IACO), which possesses a new strategy to update the increased pheromone, called ant-weight strategy, and a mutation operation, to solve VRP. The computational results for fourteen benchmark problems are report...
متن کاملAn ant colony optimization technique for solving min-max Multi-Depot Vehicle Routing Problem
The Multi-Depot Vehicle Routing Problem (MDVRP) involves minimizing the total distance traveled by vehicles originating from multiple depots so that the vehicles together visit the specified customer locations (or cities) exactly once. This problem belongs to a class of Nondeterministic Polynomial Hard (NP Hard) problems and has been used in literature as a benchmark for development of optimiza...
متن کاملSolving the Vehicle Routing Problem with Simultaneous Pickup and Delivery by an Effective Ant Colony Optimization
One of the most important extensions of the capacitated vehicle routing problem (CVRP) is the vehicle routing problem with simultaneous pickup and delivery (VRPSPD) where customers require simultaneous delivery and pick-up service. In this paper, we propose an effective ant colony optimization (EACO) which includes insert, swap and 2-Opt moves for solving VRPSPD that is different with common an...
متن کاملAnt colony optimization techniques for the vehicle routing problem
This research applies the meta-heuristic method of ant colony optimization (ACO) to an established set of vehicle routing problems (VRP). The procedure simulates the decision-making processes of ant colonies as they forage for food and is similar to other adaptive learning and artificial intelligence techniques such as Tabu Search, Simulated Annealing and Genetic Algorithms. Modifications are m...
