Path relinking for the vehicle routing problem

چکیده
This paper describes a tabu search heuristic with path relinking for the vehicle routing problem. Tabu search is a local search method that explores the solution space more thoroughly than other local search based methods by overcoming local optima. Path relinking is a method to integrate intensification and diversification in the search. It explores paths that connect previously found elite solutions. Computational results show that tabu search with path relinking is superior to pure tabu search on the vehicle routing problem.

A Metaheuristic Algorithm for the Minimum Routing Cost Spanning Tree Problem
The routing cost of a spanning tree in a weighted and connected graph is defined as the total length of paths between all pairs of vertices. The objective of the minimum routing cost spanning tree problem is to find a spanning tree such that its routing cost is minimum. This is an NP-Hard problem that we present a GRASP with path-relinking metaheuristic algorithm for it. GRASP is a multi-start ...
متن کاملGRASP with Path Relinking for the Two-Echelon Vehicle Routing Problem
We propose a meta-heuristic based on GRASP combined with Path Relinking to address the Two-Echelon Vehicle Routing Problem, an extension of the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem in which the delivery from a single depot to customers is achieved by routing and consolidating the freight through intermediate depots called satellites. The problem is treated by separating the depot-to-satellite tr...
متن کاملDistance-based path relinking for the vehicle routing problem
1 Path relinking for the vehicle routing problem Path relinking is a relatively new metaheuristic technique for combinatorial optimization, proposed by Glover (see e.g. [3]). Path relinking attempts to find new good solutions by examining the solutions that are on a path from an initial (incumbent) to a final (guiding) solution. By definition, each move on the path makes the solution more diffe...
متن کاملA path relinking algorithm for a multi-depot periodic vehicle routing problem
In this paper, we consider a multi-depot periodic vehicle routing problem which is characterized by the presence of a homogeneous fleet of vehicles, multiple depots, multiple periods, and two types of constraints that are often found in reality, i.e., vehicle capacity and route duration constraints. The objective is to minimize total travel costs. To tackle the problem, we propose an efficient ...
متن کاملA Goal Programming Model for Single Vehicle Routing Problem with Multiple Routes
The single vehicle routing problem with multiple routes is a variant of the vehicle routing problem where the vehicle can be dispatched to several routes during its workday to serve a number of customers. In this paper we propose a goal programming model for multi-objective single vehicle routing problem with time windows and multiple routes. To solve the model, we present a heuristic method wh...
