A deterministic tabu search algorithm for the capacitated arc routing problem
The Capacitated Arc Routing Problem (CARP) is a difficult optimisation problem in vehicle routing with applications where a service must be provided by a set of vehicles on specified roads. A heuristic algorithm based on Tabu Search is proposed and tested on various sets of benchmark instances. The computational results show that the proposed algorithm produces high quality results within a rea...
متن کاملInvestigating Edge-Reordering Procedures in a Tabu Search Algorithm for the Capacitated Arc Routing Problem
This paper presents two ideas to guide a tabu search algorithm for the Capacitated Arc Routing Problem to a promising region of the solution space. Both ideas involve edge-reordering, although they work in different ways. One of them aims to directly tackle deadheading cycles, and the other tries to reorder edges with the aim of extending a scope of solutions that can be reached from a given so...
متن کاملMultiple center capacitated arc routing problems: A tabu search algorithm using capacitated trees
In the capacitated arc routing problem with multiple centers (M-CARP) the objective is to ®nd routes starting from the given depots or centers such that each required arc is served, capacity (and usually additional) constraints are satis®ed and total travel cost is minimized. In this paper we consider a heuristic transformation of the M-CARP into a multiple center capacitated minimum spanning t...
متن کاملA Tabu Scatter Search Metaheuristic for the Arc Routing Problem
We consider a special routing problem which has a variety of practical applications. In a graph-theoretic context it is known as the Capacitated Chinese Postman Problem. Given an undirected network in which the demand is located on edges, the goal is to determine a least-cost schedule of routes. The route demands, which must not exceed the vehicle capacity, are serviced by a fleet of vehicles w...
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 ...
