MOEA/D for a Tri-objective Vehicle Routing Problem
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work examines the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem with Balanced Routes and Time Windows (CVRPBRTW). The problem aims at optimizing the total distance cost, the number of vehicles used, and the route balancing, under the existence of time windows and other constraints. The problem is formulated as a Multi-Objective Optimization Problem where all objectives are tackled simultaneously, so as to effect a better solution space coverage. A Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithm based on Decomposition (MOEA/D), hybridized with local search elements, is proposed. The application of local search heuristics is not uniform but depends on specific objective preferences and instance requirements of the decomposed subproblems. To test the efficacy of the proposed solutions, extensive experiments were conducted on well known benchmark problem instances and results were compared with other MOEAs.

In this paper, a new approach to risk minimizing vehicle routing and scheduling problem is presented. Forwarding agents or companies have two main concerns for the collection of high-risk commodities like cash or valuable commodities between the central depot and the customers: one; because of the high value of the commodities transported, the risk of ambush and robbery are very high. Two; the ...

The vehicle routing problem with backhauls (VRPB) as an extension of the classical vehicle routing prob-lem (VRP) attempts to define a set of routes which services both linehaul customers whom product are to be delivered and backhaul customers whom goods need to be collected. A primary objective for the problem usually is minimizing the total distribution cost. Most real-life problems have othe...
