Study on Hybrid Genetic Algorithm for Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem

Article Preview

Abstract:

Capacitated vehicle routing problem is logistics optimization indispensable part. The hybrid genetic algorithm is used to optimize the solution. Firstly, use sequence of real numbers coding so as to simplify the problem; Construct the initial solution to improve the feasibility; adopt some arithmetic crossover operator to enhance whole search ability of the chromosome. Secondly, use Boltzmann simulated annealing mechanism to improve the convergence speed and search efficiency. Finally, comparing to other algorithms, the results demonstrate the effectiveness and good quality.
