An Improved Variable Neighborhood Search Algorithm for Multi Depot Heterogeneous Vehicle Routing Problem based on Hybrid Operators
This paper presents an Imporved Variable Neighborhood Search (IVNS) algorithm to solve Multi Depot Heterogeneous Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows (MDHVRPTW). The initial solution is obtained by customer allocation and path planning based on a cost network. The hybrid operators of insert and exchange are used to achieve the shaking process and the later optimization process is presented...
متن کاملThe multi-depot vehicle routing problem with heterogeneous vehicle fleet: Formulation and a variable neighborhood search implementation
The multi-depot fleet size and mix vehicle routing problem, also known as the multi-depot routing with heterogeneous vehicles, is investigated. A mathematical formulation is given and lower as well as upper bounds are produced using a three hour execution time of CPLEX. An efficient implementation of variable neighborhood search that incorporates new features in addition to the adaptation of se...
متن کاملDynamic Vehicle Routing Using an Improved Variable Neighborhood Search Algorithm
In order to effectively solve the dynamic vehicle routing problem with time windows, the mathematical model is established and an improved variable neighborhood search algorithm is proposed. In the algorithm, allocation customers and planning routes for the initial solution are completed by the clustering method. Hybrid operators of insert and exchange are used to achieve the shaking process, t...
متن کاملA Variable Neighborhood Search for the Multi Depot Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows
The aim of this paper is to propose an algorithm based on the philosophy of the Variable Neighborhood Search (VNS) to solve Multi Depot Vehicle Routing Problems with Time Windows. The paper has two main contributions. First, from a technical point of view, it presents the first application of a VNS for this problem and several design issues of VNS algorithms are discussed. Second, from a proble...
متن کاملAn Improved Hybrid Cuckoo Search Algorithm for Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows
Transportation in economic systems such as services, production and distribution enjoys a special and important position and provides a significant portion of the country's gross domestic product. Improvements in transportation system mean improvements in the traveling routes and the elimination of unnecessary distances in any system. The Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) is one of the practical co...
