Optimal multi-depot location decision using particle swarm optimization

The depot locations have a significant effect on the transportation cost in the multi-depot vehicle routing problem. A two-tier particle swarm optimization framework is proposed, in which an external particle swarm optimization and an internal particle swarm optimization are used to determine the op...
