A Hybrid Metaheuristic for the Multiple Depot Vehicle Routing Problems with Mix Pickups and Deliveries

Article Preview

Abstract:

The multiple depot vehicle routing problems with mix pickups and deliveries are often met in real-life scenarios of transportation logistics, but it has not received much attention by researchers. In this problem, to allocate borderline customer to appropriate depot is a difficulty to overcome. In this paper, a genetic algorithm is supposed to allocate them. Then the tabu search algorithm is incorporated into the genetic algorithm to solve the single depot vehicle routing problems with mix pickups and deliveries. The proposed algorithm is successfully applied to benchmark instances in the literature, generating new best solutions.
