Genetic Algorithm Optimization in Vehicle Routing Problem

Article Preview

Abstract:

Numerous strategies for optimizing vehicle route based on genetic algorithm (GA) have been put forward. However there is still much room for improvement despite the existing experiment results. In this paper, significant improvement of traditional genetic algorithm is achieved, dealing with discrete vehicle route optimization. In view of multi-client points equally distributing around logistics centre, initial group optimization being performed, crossover probability being decreased, mutation probability being improved, chromosome calculation being simplified, optimization being accelerated and genetic performance quantity is reduced. All this offers powerful support to genetic algorithm for multi client points.
