Diversity-Driven Selection of Multiple Crossover Operators for the Capacitated Arc Routing Problem
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Capacitated Arc Routing Problem (CARP) is a NPHard routing problem with strong connections with real world problems. In this work we aim to enhance the performance of MAENS, a stateof-the-art algorithm, through a self-adaptive scheme to choose the most suitable operator and a diversity-driven ranking operator. Experimental results on 181 problem instances show how these techniques can both improve the results of the current state-of-the-art algorithms and provide good directions to develop EAs with a more robust approximation ratio.

Model and Solution Approach for Multi objective-multi commodity Capacitated Arc Routing Problem with Fuzzy Demand
The capacitated arc routing problem (CARP) is one of the most important routing problems with many applications in real world situations. In some real applications such as urban waste collection and etc., decision makers have to consider more than one objective and investigate the problem under uncertain situations where required edges have demand for more than one type of commodity. So, in thi...
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 ...
متن کاملImmune clonal selection algorithm for capacitated arc routing problem
In existing metaheuristics for solving the capacitated arc routing problem, traversal local search operators are often used to explore neighbors of the current solutions. This mechanism is beneficial for finding high-quality solutions; however, it entails a large number of function evaluations, causing high computational complexity. Hence, there is a need to further enhance the efficiency of su...
متن کاملDynamic selection of evolutionary operators based on online learning and fitness landscape analysis
Self-adaptive mechanisms for the identification of the most suitable variation operator in Evolutionary Algorithms rely almost exclusively on the measurement of the fitness of the offspring, which may not be sufficient to assess the optimality of an operator (e.g., in a landscape with an high degree of neutrality). This paper proposes a novel Adaptive Operator Selection mechanism which uses a s...
متن کاملSolving a robust capacitated arc routing problem using a hybrid simulated annealing algorithm: A waste collection application
The urban waste collection is one of the major municipal activities that involves large expenditures and difficult operational problems. Also, waste collection and disposal have high expenses such as investment cost (i.e. vehicles fleet) and high operational cost (i.e. fuel, maintenance). In fact, making slight improvements in this issue lead to a huge saving in municipal consumption. Some inci...
