Mixed Ant Colony Algorithm for Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows

Article Preview

Abstract:

To optimize the vehicle routing problem with time windows(VRPTW), a mixed ant colony algorithm (MACO) was proposed to accomplish the vehicles’ scheduling. The pheromone adaptive volatile strategy takes real-time traffic status into consideration. Algorithm was accomplished on computer with the c# language.10 examples were calculated. Results show, MACO has a quick convergence rate, the result is stable.
