Description
Summary:碩士 === 大同大學 === 資訊經營學系(所) === 99 === The Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (CVRP) has been studied over five decades. The goal of CVRP is to minimize the total distance of the routes under the constraints of vehicles’ capacity. Because CVRP is one kind of NP-hard problems, a number of meta-heuristics have been proposed to solve the problem. This paper proposes a hybrid algorithm combining Combinatorial Particle Swarm Optimization (CPSO) with Simulated Annealing (SA) to solve the CVRP. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is an effective approach for solving the CVRP.
