چکیده

Artificial Intelligent (AI) techniques make a great influence on real-world distribution operations due to the complexity and the difficulty of finding an optimal solution within the limited time frame. To bridge the gap between standard problems in distribution and the real world problems, in this research, the standard VRP problem is extended to Multi Depot Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows and Split Delivery (MDVRPTWSD). The objective of the study is to (a) minimize the overall transportation cost (b) minimize distance (c) fully utilizing the fleets vehicles (d) distribute balanced load throughout the vehicles. The study tries to investigate the applicability of AI techniques to solve the multi objective problem.

PSO for multi-objective problems: Criteria for leader selection and uniformity distribution

This paper proposes a method to solve multi-objective problems using improved Particle Swarm Optimization. We propose leader particles which guide other particles inside the problem domain. Two techniques are suggested for selection and deletion of such particles to improve the optimal solutions. The first one is based on the mean of the m optimal particles and the second one is based on appoin...
