[ 1 ] - Solving the Vehicle Routing Problem with Simultaneous Pickup and Delivery by an Effective Ant Colony Optimization

One of the most important extensions of the capacitated vehicle routing problem (CVRP) is the vehicle routing problem with simultaneous pickup and delivery (VRPSPD) where customers require simultaneous delivery and pick-up service. In this paper, we propose an effective ant colony optimization (EACO) which includes insert, swap and 2-Opt moves for solving VRPSPD that is different with common an...

[ 2 ] - A reactive bone route algorithm for solving the traveling salesman problem

The traveling salesman problem (TSP) is a well-known optimization problem in graph theory, as well as in operations research that has nowadays received much attention because of its practical applications in industrial and service problems. In this problem, a salesman starts to move from an arbitrary place called depot and after visits all of the nodes, finally comes back to the depot. The obje...

[ 3 ] - A Mixed Integer Programming Formulation for the Heterogeneous Fixed Fleet Open Vehicle Routing Problem

The heterogeneous fixed fleet open vehicle routing problem (HFFOVRP) is one of the most significant extension problems of the open vehicle routing problem (OVRP). The HFFOVRP is the problem of designing collection routes to a number of predefined nodes by a fixed fleet number of vehicles with various capacities and related costs. In this problem, the vehicle doesn’t return to the depot after se...

[ 4 ] - Solving the Multiple Traveling Salesman Problem by a Novel Meta-heuristic Algorithm

The multiple traveling salesman problem (MTSP) is a generalization of the famous traveling salesman problem (TSP), where more than one salesman is used in the solution. Although the MTSP is a typical kind of computationally complex combinatorial optimization problem, it can be extended to a wide variety of routing problems. This paper presents an efficient and evolutionary optimization algorith...

[ 5 ] - An Effective Genetic Algorithm for Solving the Multiple Traveling Salesman Problem

The multiple traveling salesman problem (MTSP) involves scheduling m > 1 salesmen to visit a set of n > m nodes so that each node is visited exactly once. The objective is to minimize the total distance traveled by all the salesmen. The MTSP is an example of combinatorial optimization problems, and has a multiplicity of applications, mostly in the areas of routing and scheduling. In this paper,...

[ 6 ] - یک مدل برنامه‌ریزی آمیخته و یک روش کارا برای مساله تامین سوخت جایگاه‌های عرضه‌ فرآورده‌های نفتی همراه با پنجره‌ی زمانی وابسته به زمان

In order to improve service quality and satisfy specific delivery requests from different customers, suppliers are tending to afford more efficient and convenient distribution services rather traditional approaches. For example, customers may change preferred hours of receiving their orders, and due to this, wholesalers must distribute goods in different time windows. In this article, for the f...
