Solving the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem Based on Improved Ant-clustering Algorithm

The capacitated vehicle routing problems (CVRP) are NP-hard. Most approaches can solve small-scale case studies to optimality. Furthermore, they are time-consuming. To overcome the limitation, this paper presents a novel three-phase heuristic approach for the capacitated vehicle routing problem. The...
