Solving Multi-criteria Vehicle Routing Problem by Parallel Tabu Search on GPU

چکیده
Transportation plays a crucial role in both production and service industry. In modern times, the importance of supplying the goods on time to warehouses, production units and finally to the customers is not lost on logistic companies. Vehicle Routing Problems (VRP) models evolved to be more advanced, which led to the growth of computational complexity. Optimizing transportation routes for companies means performing complex computations and doing so in the shortest possible amounts of time. Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) provide massive computation when the needed operations are properly parallelized. nVidia GPUs are equipped with Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA), so applying parallel algorithms is not limited to complex workstations or specialized computers. This work emphasizes the value of using parallel Tabu Search (TS) algorithm over sequential TS algorithm and its application to multicriteria discrete optimization of Distance-constrained VRP.

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 کاملA parallel iterated tabu search heuristic for vehicle routing problems
This paper introduces a parallel iterated tabu search heuristic for solving four different routing problems: the classical vehicle routing problem (VRP), the periodic VRP, the multi-depot VRP, and the site-dependent VRP. In addition, it is applicable to the time-window constrained variant of these problems. Using the iterated local search framework, the heuristic combines tabu search with a sim...
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 ...
