The Design of Logistics Vehicle Scheduling System Based on Agent

Article Preview

Abstract:

We studied the logistics vehicle scheduling.We have used Unified Modeling Language (UML) for modeling and java agent development framework (JADE) to realize the Agent server-side interactive collaboration features and set up multi-Agent scheduling platform,and have also used the hybrid genetic algorithm to optimize the scheduling task. Through testing examples as well as the combination use of MATLAB and Visual C+ +, the vehicle Gantt chart has been generated to inspect the performance of optimization algorithm.
