Study on Improved Genetic Algorithm for Min-Max Vehicle Routing Problem

Article Preview

Abstract:

The present study is focused on the Min-Max Vehicle Routing Problem (MMVRP). Improved genetic algorithm is used to get the optimization solution. First of all, use natural number coding so as to simplify the problem; apply insertion method so as to improve the feasibility; retain the best selection so as to guard the diversity of group; adopt self-adaptive method to strengthen the partial searching ability of chromosome. Finally, the good performance of improved algorithm can be proved by experiment calculation and concrete examples.
