Adapting Egyptian Vulture Optimization Algorithm for Vehicle Routing Problem
نویسنده
چکیده
Vehicle Routing problem (VRP) is the challenging and sophisticated optimization problem which can be solved by various approaches like Exact methods, metaheuristic optimization algorithm and Mathematical approaches including linear and integer programming Techniques. Exact algorithms can only solve relatively small problems of VRP. Several approximate algorithms have proven successfully to finding a feasible solution but not necessarily an optimum. In this paper, survey on various methods for solving VRP, variants of VRP, definition of VRP and the proposal for adapting Egyptian Vulture Optimization Algorithm for VRP are discussed. Keywords— Vehicle Routing problem, Depot, Egyptian Vulture Optimization Algorithm, Combinatorial Optimization.

An Improved Particle Swarm Optimization for a Class of Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problems
Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) is addressed to a class of problems for determining a set of vehicle routes, in which each vehicle departs from a given depot, serves a given set of customers, and returns back to the same depot. On the other hand, simultaneous delivery and pickup problems have drawn much attention in the past few years due to its high usage in real world cases. This study, therefo...
متن کاملA novel heuristic algorithm for capacitated vehicle routing problem
The vehicle routing problem with the capacity constraints was considered in this paper. It is quite difficult to achieve an optimal solution with traditional optimization methods by reason of the high computational complexity for large-scale problems. Consequently, new heuristic or metaheuristic approaches have been developed to solve this problem. In this paper, we constructed a new heuristic ...
