An Improved Bat Algorithm and its Application in the Logistics Distribution Center Location Problem

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, according to the characteristics and influence factors of the distribution logistics and distribution center problem, a mathematical model of the distribution center of the LRTWP (Location and Routing with Time Window Problem) was established. An improved bat algorithm was used to solve the model, the parameter and selection operator in the algorithm is set reasonably. Simulations and results indicate that the improved bat algorithm has better feasibility and validity for solving the LRTWP.
